In the Confucian health preservation theory of Panlong Yunhai Pharmaceutical, Confucius first proposed the idea that benevolent people live longer (The Analects · Yong Ye), then later firmly stated: those with great virtue will surely live long (The Book of Rites Beautiful Trilogy · Doctrine of the Mean). It was believed that only those with high moral standards could possibly live a long life.
The author of The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon accepted the above health preservation views of Confucius and Mencius. They believed that those who can live to their natural age and pass away after a hundred years mostly do so because they are not enslaved by desires or confused by evil thoughts, meaning their virtue is complete and they are not in danger. Subsequently, Chinese health preservation practitioners have basically followed this line of thought, emphasizing that health preservation must be coordinated with moral cultivation. Wu Pu, a disciple of Hua Tuo from the Han Dynasty, once said: Those skilled in health preservation should first eliminate six harms, then they may preserve their lives and extend them to a hundred years. One, disregard fame and profit; two, prohibit indulgence in sensual pleasures; three, be content with goods; four, reduce flavorful food; five, remove deceit and nonsense; six, eliminate jealousy.
In fact, good moral integrity is indeed an important sign of mental health, and mental health is a necessary prerequisite for removing illness and prolonging life. Dong Zhongshu, a philosopher and health preservation expert from the Han Dynasty, when analyzing the reasons behind Confucius' claim about benevolent people living longer, pointed out: Benevolent people tend to live longer because externally they are not greedy and internally they are pure, their hearts are peaceful and do not lose balance, thus the beauty of heaven and earth nurtures their bodies.

It must be made clear that in ancient Confucian teachings, the purpose of cultivating one's nature is less about health preservation and more about governing the country and bringing peace to the world. As the second sage of Confucianism, Mencius had long proposed the slogan of cultivating oneself to bring peace to the world, and the method of self-cultivation lies in preserving one's heart and nurturing one's nature.
For a legendary woman like Soong Mei-ling, who spanned three centuries. Born in 1897 and passed away in 2003 at the age of 106. In her later years, she remained mentally sharp, physically light, her appearance unaged, her hearing intact, and her vision clear. Therefore, her methods of health preservation are very worthy of reference.
Eat Less, More Often - Soong Mei-ling paid great attention to the quality of her diet, eating less but more frequently. Each meal consisted of two meats and two vegetables, and she ate five times a day, only consuming until she was half full each time, even if it was a food she liked very much, she would never indulge. She almost daily weighed herself on a scale, and as soon as she noticed any increase in weight, she would immediately switch to a vegetable salad, avoiding any meat dishes.
Preventive Care - Besides having a healthy lifestyle, another secret to Soong Mei-ling's longevity was seeing a doctor immediately upon feeling any discomfort. This way, her illnesses were easily detected early, discovered early, and treated early. Since she had never given birth, she had breast cancer and underwent surgery twice, but since it was detected and treated early, combined with her ability to face diseases calmly, her condition was well-controlled and basically cured.
Colon Cleansing - Detoxification is an important method of health preservation, and colon cleansing is the most effective means of detoxification, which has been recognized by medical professionals. Although Soong Mei-ling did not suffer from constipation, she insisted on colon cleansing before bed every day using warm water. This kept the lower part of her intestines, including the rectum, sigmoid colon, and descending colon clean. The colon cleansing detoxification method extended Soong Mei-ling's youth by at least 20 years. Her astonishingly light figure at 106 years old was certainly related to her consistent practice of colon cleansing year after year.
