In the long river of ancient times, there was a mysterious and legendary era. At that time, people were filled with endless longing for immortality, and alchemy became the mysterious method that everyone pursued. Against this background of turbulent times, there was an alchemist named Qing Yunzi.

Qing Yunzi lived in a peaceful valley. His residence was a simple thatched cottage surrounded by lush mountains and forests. Since childhood, Qing Yunzi has been deeply interested in the mysterious art of alchemy. He firmly believed that by refining the elixir of immortality, people could break free from the cycle of life and death and obtain eternal life.

So, Qing Yunzi embarked on a long and arduous journey of alchemy. He searched everywhere for precious medicinal materials, read countless ancient books, and constantly tried various alchemy methods. His alchemy furnace burned day and night, and the curling smoke seemed to be telling his persistence and pursuit.

However, as time passed, although Qing Yunzi continued to progress in alchemy skills, he still did not refine the elixir of immortality. In one failure after another, he began to fall into deep thought. He couldn't help but ask himself, "Is immortality really just an unreachable dream?"

On a peaceful night, Qing Yunzi sat alone in front of the thatched cottage, looking up at the bright starry sky. The breeze gently blew across his face, bringing a trace of coolness. At this moment, he suddenly heard a melodious bird song coming from the mountains and forests. That sound was clear and pleasant, as if it were telling the mysteries of nature.

Qing Yunzi listened quietly to the bird song, and a strange feeling welled up in his heart. He suddenly realized that nature is so magical and beautiful, but he has been indulging in alchemy and ignoring the beauty around him. He began to reflect on his actions and think about the true meaning of health preservation.

After some profound thinking, Qing Yunzi gradually realized that health preservation does not rely on external medicines but starts from oneself. He understood that the human body is like a small universe and is closely related to nature. Only by maintaining the harmony and unity of the body, mind and nature can the purpose of health preservation be truly achieved.

So, Qing Yunzi began to adjust his lifestyle. He paid attention to the balance of diet and no longer pursued luxurious delicacies. Instead, he chose some light and nutritious foods. He planted vegetables himself, picked wild fruits in the mountains, and tasted the deliciousness given by nature.

In terms of exercise, Qing Yunzi would get up early every day and do moderate exercise in the mountains and forests. He breathed the fresh air, felt the breath of nature, and made his body full of vitality. He also learned some ancient health preservation exercises, such as Tai Chi and Qigong. By adjusting breathing and the body's energy, he achieved the balance of body and mind.

The adjustment of mentality is also an important part of Qing Yunzi's health preservation. He learned to let go of his desires and troubles in his heart and maintain a peaceful and calm heart. He was no longer frustrated by the failure of alchemy nor anxious about pursuing immortality. He learned to enjoy every moment in life, feel the beauty of nature, and live in harmony with people and things around him.

As time passed, Qing Yunzi's body gradually became healthier and healthier. His complexion was rosy, and his eyes revealed a profound wisdom and tranquility. His steps were light, as if he were integrated with nature. Although he did not refine the elixir of immortality, he obtained a healthy body and a long life.

Qing Yunzi's story soon spread everywhere. People came to ask him for the way of health preservation. Qing Yunzi always patiently answered their questions and shared his experiences and insights. He told people that health preservation is not an act of pursuing external substances but an inner practice. Only by adjusting one's lifestyle and maintaining a good mentality can the purpose of health preservation be truly achieved.

In this modern society full of temptations and busyness, we often ignore our own physical health. In pursuit of fame and fortune, we do not hesitate to sacrifice our rest time, overwork, and have irregular diets. We are addicted to electronic products, lack exercise, and have a 浮躁 mentality. And Qing Yunzi's story provides us with a profound inspiration: health preservation should start from oneself, pay attention to the balance of diet, exercise and mentality, return to nature, and live in harmony with nature.

Taoist thought emphasizes conforming to nature and governing by non-interference. Qing Yunzi's way of health preservation precisely reflects this thought. By adjusting his lifestyle and conforming to the laws of nature, he achieved the harmony and unity of body and mind. In modern society, we can also draw wisdom from Taoist thought, learn to let go of our desires and troubles, and maintain a peaceful and calm heart. We can have more contact with nature, feel the beauty of nature, and let our body and mind relax and nourish.

Let us take Qing Yunzi as an example, pursue a healthy lifestyle, and pay attention to the way of health preservation. In this beautiful world, feel the miracle of life with a healthy body and a peaceful mentality, and create our own wonderful life.
