和气者寿--道家道教论“和气与养生”

Being in a Calm State of Mind and Longevity——A Doctrine of Being in a Calm State of Mind and Health Care of Taoism

所谓"和气养生",通俗地说就是"心平气和"。我国道家道教对"和气养生"的原则和方法都做过系统而深入的研究。其中以《管子》的"平正和生"、老子的"阴阳冲和"、庄子的"阴阳交和"以及《淮南子》的"阴阳接和"的"和气养生"法为例,来论述中国古代哲学家尤其是道家道教哲学家们在探讨世界万物的生成或本体时,同时提出了"和气养生"的原则,体现了中华民族源远流长的养生经验和智慧,传至今日依然是普遍有效且宜行的养生大法和妙法。

Generally speaking,the so-called"Being in a state of mind can bring man longevity"means"mental calm".Taoists in China have conducted systematic and in-depth research on the principles and methods of it.Taking the methods of“ping zheng he sheng”of Guan Zi,“yin yang chong he”of Lao Tzu,“yin yang jiao he”of Zhuang Zi and“yin yang jie he”and“he qi yang sheng”of Hua Yang Zi as examples,the author of the paper believes that ancient Chinese philosophers,especially the philosophers of Taoism,explored the creation or ontology of all things in the world,meanwhile,they put forward the principle of“being in a state of mind can bring man longevity”,reflecting the long-standing health-caring experience and wisdom,which are still popular and effective today.
