Article about sports and health care, 2000 words

Sports health care, also called traditional Chinese medicine fitness, refers to the use of traditional sports methods for exercise. Our ancestors have long recognized that the biological world of the universe, especially human life activities, is characterized by movement, and therefore actively advocated sports and health care. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, sports have been used as an important means of fitness and disease prevention. For example, "Zhuangzi·Kiyi" says: "Blow (oral sentence) breathing, spitting out the old and absorbing the new, the bear's scriptures and the birds' breathing, for the sake of longevity." This Daoyin person is a person who cultivates the body, and Peng Zushou is the favorite." This shows that at that time, there were already many people who used Daoyin and other methods to exercise the body to maintain health. "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" more clearly points out the significance of exercise to maintain health: "Flowing water will not rot, and door hinges will not be beetrooted by movement. The same is true for the shape and Qi. If the shape is immobile, the essence will not flow, and if the essence does not flow, the Qi will be depressed." Here. Using running water and door hinges as examples, it illustrates the benefits of exercise, and clearly points out the harm of inactivity from the relationship between form and energy. It is very obvious that Dasein illustrates a truth: if you move, your body will be healthy, if you don’t move, your body will weaken. "Huangdi Neijing" also attaches great importance to exercise and health care, advocates "working hard without being tired", opposes "sitting for a long time" and "lying for a long time", and emphasizes that it should be "harmony with Shu". The so-called "shushu", according to Wang Bing's note: "Shushu is the great principle of maintaining life", which refers to various health-preserving methods, including various methods of physical exercise. During the Three Kingdoms period of the Later Han Dynasty, the famous doctor Hua Tuo created the "Five Animals Show", which imitated the movements of five animals: tiger, deer, bear, ape and bird. Intelligent, with intact teeth. The emergence of "Wu Qin Xi" has brought the development of traditional Chinese medicine fitness techniques to a new stage, opening up broad prospects for the emergence of other forms of sports and health care in the future. In the Jin and Tang dynasties, more and more health-preserving experts advocated exercise. The first article of Qingniu Taoist's method of cultivating one's nature recorded in Zhanghua's "Natural History" of Jin Dynasty was "Always work less for physical desire, and do not overdo it." During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Liang Tao Hongjing compiled "Yang Xing Yan Ming Lu": "People want to work a little, but they should not be tired or strong enough to overcome their ears. After eating, people should walk hesitantly, and if they have some cultivation, they will be faster. Therefore, flowing water It is not rotten, and the door hinges are not beetrooted, because of the number of hours of work." Sun Simiao, a famous doctor in the Tang Dynasty, also attached great importance to exercise and health preservation. He stated in "Baosheng Ming" that "if a person is tired of his body, he will not be able to cure all kinds of diseases." Insist on walking exercise and believe that "on a day with moderate weather in the four seasons, it is better to walk three miles, two miles and three hundred or two hundred steps according to the cold and temperature of the season." In the Song Dynasty, the research on exercise and health care methods took another step forward. For example, Pu Qianguan's "Baosheng Yaolu" devoted a special section to "regulating the body and limbs" and advocated using Dao to move the body. Leng Qian, a famous health expert in the Ming Dynasty, wrote "The Essentials of Xiuling" and Wang Cai Zhuan (The Secret of Xiuling), both of which advocated the use of Daoyin for physical exercise. Nowadays, Tai Chi, which is widely spread in our country, is said to be the 32 movements of the boxing classics summarized by Qi Jiguang in the Ming Dynasty based on folk boxing techniques. Cao Tingdong, a health expert in the Qing Dynasty, created the "three exercises of lying down, sitting and doing exercises" as a simple and easy-to-implement guidance method for the elderly to exercise. The above shows that the ancients attached great importance to exercise and health care. "Movement leads to longevity" is the traditional view of our Chinese nation's health and fitness, which is completely consistent with the understanding of modern medicine. Modern medicine believes that "life lies in exercise". Exercise can increase the body's metabolism, make various organs full of vitality, and delay the process of aging. It is especially beneficial to the cardiovascular system. French doctor Tissot once said: "Exercise can replace almost any drug in terms of its effect, but all the drugs in the world cannot replace the effect of exercise." Although it is a bit too much, it still makes sense. The fact is , Moderate physical exercise can make life and work full of vitality and relaxed fun; it can help establish the rules and order of life, improve the quality of sleep, ensure adequate rest, and improve work efficiency; it can improve the body's adaptability and compensatory functions, increasing resistance to disease... In short, exercise can make people healthy, prevent disease and aging, and extend life. Because of this, some people abroad say: "Exercise is the source of health." This is the same as in our country Yan Xizhai, an educator in the Qing Dynasty, said, "To maintain good health, don't be good at doing exercises." The view of "moving one body makes one strong" is completely consistent.
