What is the explanation of The Yellow Emperor s Inner Canon about longevity and 100 years old?

The hundredth day after the birth of the baby is the first birthday of the newborn baby after birth, not the date of birth after a year, but the hundredth day after birth, commonly known as "100 years old", which means that the child may live a long life. On this day, the baby should receive a gift from the elderly, and the older the elder is, the greater the blessing the baby will receive. It is an ancient custom of the Chinese nation to give the baby 100 days, invite relatives and friends to celebrate, and wish the baby a healthy growth and a long life.

When the child is 100 days old, the host family invites the midwife and relatives and friends to dinner. Generally, eating eggs means "consummation"; Or eat noodles, which means "longevity". This kind of activity is commonly known as "100 years old".

When the baby is 100 days old, the mother's family sends 100 steamed buns, which is called "steaming (increasing) 100 years old", and sending 100 money is called "100-year-old money".

100 days after the baby is born, the baby should be given salt, commonly known as "eating taste". Parents buy pork intestines, pork belly, pork loin, and pork liver for the baby, and boil porridge to feed the baby. Commonly known as "belly supplement".

After the child "replenishes the belly", the digestion is strong, and the body will be strong in the future. Babies who have passed 100 days are not so likely to die, and "100" can be associated with auspicious events and prayers such as longevity and longevity.

Qin Shi Huang once recruited warlocks from all over the world to cultivate the elixir of immortality for him; He also asked Xu Fu to find the Penglai Immortal Island recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" in order to live forever.

It can be seen that even a high-ranking and powerful figure who dominates the world hopes to find the secret of longevity when facing birth, old age, sickness and death.

As a representative of the ancient sages and emperors, the Yellow Emperor was also curious about what was the secret of longevity?

In the ancient naivety theory of "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing", the Yellow Emperor also asked Qi Bo about it.

From this passage, we can know that the Yellow Emperor once heard that people in ancient times had a very long lifespan, more than 100 years old.

It turned out that they all did what Lao Tzu said: "Man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law, and the Tao is the nature." ”

Between heaven and earth, there is a law of change, and if you abide by this law and change, you can live a long life.

So why don't people live to be 100 years old?

At the time of the Yellow Emperor, people began to age around the age of fifty and did not live to be 100 years old, so Qi Bo explained the reason to the Yellow Emperor.

Learn from the people of ancient times, arrange your diet, work and rest reasonably, and adjust your mentality, you can live a long life.

And learning from people who are half a hundred years old, violating the laws of life, wantonly dissipating one's essence, and not maintaining it, will get the result of aging at the age of fifty.

Life is actually formed by different choices, just like walking at a crossroads, going left or right, the choice is in each person's own hands.

Different directions, different results. I wish you all good health and long life.
