"Light diet, the way to health". The Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi once wrote "food regimen regimen," which said: "Food should be less refined, taste should be light and true." The poem is a metaphor for a light diet that not only nourishes the body, but also cleanses the mind. As the ancients said, the essence of the diet does not lie in the mountains and the sea, but in the authenticity of the ingredients and the harmony of the light.
"Vegetables, food and light meals, happy and happy". Tao Yuanming, a poet of the Jin Dynasty, wrote in "Returning to the Garden", "I am not sure if I will be able to take care of all the filth in the morning, but I will be able to return to the garden with a hoe in the moonlight. The road is narrow* and the wood is long, and the evening dew stains my clothes." Tao Yuanming in the poem returned to his hometown, away from the hustle and bustle of the world, living a quiet and self-sufficient life. And the light vegetables and food, but also become a reflection of his happy and contented.
"Temperance is the key to tranquility". Zhou Dunyi, a poet of the Song Dynasty, said in "The Love of Lotus", "I love the lotus only out of the silt and not stained, the Maundy League and not demon." The lotus flower is a symbol of calmness and serenity. Similarly, a light diet can also wash the taste buds of the flashy, leading us to the realm of purity and elegance.
Besides these classic verses, there are many modern poets who also marvel at light eating. Contemporary poet Yu Guangzhong's poem "Eat" reads, "Eat a bite of lightness, eat a bite of health, eat a bite of serenity, eat a bite of joy." The poem associates light eating with beautiful imagery such as health, tranquility and joy, which speaks to the rich connotation of light eating.

It allows us to get rid of the constraints of heavy taste, return to the nature of the real, to understand the true flavor of ordinary life. Therefore, why not add some light elements in the diet, feel the charm of light diet, so that the body and mind together to get purified.
