Alias of Xiang Yi (期颐)

The alias of "Xiangyi" is longevity or a long-lived old man.

The term "Xiangyi" is derived from allusions and philosophical ideas in ancient Chinese culture, mainly from the book "Mengzi - Zhuzi" (孟子-告子上). The word means "to look forward to a long life", which represents people's aspiration and pursuit of longevity and health. The origin of the term "Xiang Yi" can be traced back to ancient Chinese philosophy and culture, representing the pursuit and expectation of a long and healthy life. The concept is of great significance in traditional Chinese culture and is also widely used in the fields of medicine, wellness and health.

In "Meng Zi - Su Zi Shang," Meng Zi said, "The way of the Period Yi can lead to longevity." It means that through the pursuit of morality and cultivation, one can achieve longevity. This idea emphasizes the relationship between people's cultivation and their physical and mental health, and advocates that people prolong their lives through proper lifestyles and moral behavior.

Period is a noun phrase consisting of two words. Among them, period is a verb meaning anticipation, hope, and yi is a noun meaning neck, necklace, which is derived as nourishment and health. Period Yi as a whole can be understood as the expectation of longevity and the pursuit of good health.

In ancient times, people often regarded longevity and health as the highest pursuit, so "期颐" became a word to describe the pursuit of longevity and health. This pursuit reflected the value of life and health. In modern society, people pursue health, happiness and fulfillment in a variety of ways, not limited to the pursuit of longevity. People focus on a balanced diet, an active lifestyle, and physical and mental health.
