1. Calligraphy is both enjoyable and beneficial to health

To maintain good health, we must pay attention to “to nourish the body we must nourish the mind, and to nourish the mind we must reduce desires”. Keeping a peaceful mind, not pursuing material things, money and fame that do not belong to you, not harming others for personal gain, being an upright person, devoting more efforts to others, helping others as much as possible within your ability, keeping an open mind and a clear mind are the magic weapons for health and longevity. There are many methods and ways to maintain health, and practicing calligraphy is one of them. It can calm the mind, cultivate one's character, and if done in the long term, it can stabilize emotions, make the qi and mood smooth, thus effectively relieving stress.

Calligraphy is a traditional art unique to my country. It expresses beauty through practical words, and expresses intangible spirit, charm and artistic conception through tangible strokes, structure and composition. practise

Calligraphy is not only an artistic enjoyment, but also "Tai Chi on paper, Qigong on ink", so it can both soothe the mood and maintain health.

When practicing calligraphy, the mind is highly concentrated, even reaching a state of selflessness. The mood and thoughts are integrated into the beautiful artistic conception of the words. One turns a blind eye to unpleasant things happening in front of or around him, and does not get annoyed by them. One can temporarily forget the things that cannot be let go of in the heart, without delusions and worries, and the mind is as calm as water, thus entering a state that is both relaxed and pleasant. Whether young or old, practicing calligraphy with perseverance can not only cultivate one's character, but also cultivate one's perseverance, and be down-to-earth and do a good job.

It is particularly beneficial for regulating qi and blood, cultivating the body and mind, and is a good way to relieve stress. Both Tai Chi and Ba Duan Jin require coordination with breathing, and can be considered to be part of the "dynamic exercises" within "Qigong."

Yoga is also a soothing exercise that combines movement with stillness, stillness with movement, and improves both the inside and the outside. There are movements suitable for different age groups. It is a health-preserving method for people pursuing fitness and health, and is loved by many people.

Our minds are as vulnerable to external factors as our bodies. Among the various harms suffered by the mind, the most terrible is self-pollution. We need to be a spiritual environmental engineer, promptly remove the filth growing in our hearts, resist external intrusions, and keep our body and mind full of vitality.

The original meaning of yoga is "combination", that is, the proper combination of one's own mood and physical movement to eliminate tension, calm the heart, cultivate the mind and relieve stress. Yoga emphasizes that the body is a large system composed of several parts. Only by keeping each part in good condition can one have a healthy body. Yoga adjusts the physiological functions of various organs through postures, breathing techniques and other methods, thereby regulating emotions and eliminating tension in the mental and nervous system. In addition, yoga is also very effective for symptoms such as weight loss, insomnia, anxiety and arthritis.
