What is "longevity culture"?
The basic ideological connotation of longevity culture. The basic ideological connotation of Fushou culture is the most basic philosophical thought embodied in Fushou culture. The basic ideological connotation of Fu culture is "the unity of Yin and Yang". This is most obvious in Five Blessingg's "auspicious events". Zhang Fu Heng in the Eastern Han Dynasty: "Yang Difu lived, Yang Yaoyin Cang." Imperial refers to Chang 'an Palace, the bedroom of Lin Xingfei in Han Dynasty. This poem means: it is a great blessing to be able to bear the rain and dew and be blessed by the emperor! Yang is above, Yin is below, and Yin and Yang are integrated. This is really the most beautiful and harmonious music in the world! This is what Five Blessingg called auspicious and beautiful things, and it is the greatest blessing in life. Here, the integration of yin and yang has sublimated the blessing culture to a lofty and wonderful realm. Judging from the basic ideological connotation of the integration of Yin and Yang, another important ideological connotation of Fu culture is the idea of carrying on the family line. For thousands of years, the widespread phenomenon of "many children and many blessings" in China is the concrete embodiment of this idea. Objectively speaking, the concept of carrying on the family line is the need of the development of human society, and it is also a life instinct advocated and embodied by rich culture. Carrying on the family line is one of the most basic tasks for human survival and development. According to relevant historical data, the average life expectancy of China people was only 18 years in the Yao and Shun period. During the reign of Emperor Taizong, the average life expectancy of China people was 27 years. Until the heyday of the Qing Dynasty, the average life expectancy of China people was less than 36 years old. Therefore, there is a saying in ancient poems that "seventy years old is rare", and it is very rare for a person to live to 70 years old. Under this historical condition, carrying on the family line was regarded as a basic task and the primary task of life by ancient China people. It is under the control of this rich cultural concept that people regard "five generations living under one roof", "four generations living under one roof", "five generations thriving" and "full house of children and grandchildren" as great blessings, which are admired and respected by the world. The most basic ideological connotation of longevity culture is "harmony between man and nature". If we say that the ideal of Fu culture can only be realized by people praying, struggling and struggling, then the goal pursued by Shou culture is to make people live and live according to the laws of nature and the development of things. Laozi repeatedly told people in the Tao Te Ching that to achieve the goal of "longevity", we must have no distractions, not greedy, and have a full stomach. Let nature take its course and keep your mind at peace. Clear your mind, quietism. Only in this way can we reach the highest level of "longevity". The idea of harmony between man and nature in the culture of longevity directly influenced the formation of Confucian philosophy, and was completely accepted by Confucian philosophy and integrated into Confucian philosophy of life. Confucianism believes that there is life and death, and wealth is in the sky. Everything is predestined, people should be obedient, not forced. Vigorously advocate the "way of neutralization", which is the "way to success" in dealing with people. "The Doctrine of the Mean": "The winner is the foundation of the world; He who is in harmony is also in the world. Neutral, the status of Heaven is awkward, and everything breeds. " It should be said that the philosophical thoughts of the integration of yin and yang and the integration of man and nature in Fushou culture all originated from the simple materialism of Taoism, which is very philosophical and profound. Fourth, the theme concept of Fushou culture. The theme idea of Fushou culture is "harmony is precious", as the saying goes, "the country is harmonious and the home is prosperous". The formation of this concept of "harmony is precious" is based on the idea of the unity of Yin and Yang, the unity of man and nature and the concept of peace of mind in Fushou culture. Fushou culture reminds people to deal with the complicated relations in the world harmoniously, to have a harmonious environment for social development and progress, and to live in harmony among people. Society is made up of families, so every family should be happy. In interpersonal communication, we should be obedient and polite, and have a tolerant and peaceful attitude. After the concept of "harmony is precious" came into being, it was naturally accepted by people and passed down from generation to generation. Today, the people of China are building a harmonious society, and the concept of "harmony is the most important" is regarded as the standard to measure people's morality.
