In the ancient land of Danyang, there was a man named Shen Jian. He came from a family with a long history of generations, but he was unique, not interested in official careers, but obsessed with cultivating and maintaining health. His story has been passed down to this day and has become a good story for future generations to study and celebrate.
2. Shen Jian and Taoism: Shen Jian has devoted his life to cultivation, and he is proficient in the art of health preservation such as guidance and eating, and has mastered the method of being old but old. Unlike ordinary people, Shen Jian not only cultivated by himself, but also taught these Dao methods to the people around him. He cures and saves people, no matter how serious the illness is, through his hands, he can always cure the disease. Therefore, there was an endless stream of people who came to seek medical advice, and Shen Jian's reputation became more and more resounding.
3. Shen Jian's miraculous experiment: One day, Shen Jian decided to travel far away, and before leaving, he left behind a slave, a maidservant, a donkey, and ten sheep. He gave each person and animal a pill and told the owner, "They don't need your food, they just need a place to live." Although the master felt strange, he still did as Shen Jian instructed.
However, when the master gave food to the slaves and maidservants, they vomited; Donkeys and sheep are given forage, and they avoid it, as if they have spirituality. The owner was shocked and didn't know what was going on.
After more than a hundred days, something magical happened. The countenances of the servants and handmaidens became radiant and more beautiful than before; Donkeys and sheep also became fat and strong, as if they had been miraculously nourished. And all of this stems from the pill left by Shen Jian.
Fourth, Shen Jian's legendary life: Shen Jian came back after three years of travel. He gave each person and animal a pill again, and only then did they return to their normal diet. And Shen Jian himself completely cut off grain food and stopped eating. He was as light as a swallow and was able to fly back and forth, and this state lasted for more than three hundred years. In the end, Shen Jian disappeared from people's sight, and no one knew that he went.
5. Shen Jian's story tells us that the Tao is natural, and so is the way of health preservation. Only by conforming to the laws of nature can we achieve the effect of physical and mental health and longevity. At the same time, Shen Jian also interpreted the spiritual realm of "independence from the world" with his own actions, and became a model for future generations to study and praise.
