During the Spring Festival, in addition to the happy gatherings of relatives and friends, gourmet food is also indispensable. Good wine and food are indispensable for every household. It is the time to enjoy "delicious food on the tip of the tongue". However, during the Spring Festival, hospital emergency rooms always receive a special group of patients: those who become physically unwell due to overeating and irregular eating, which lead to various diseases. The original joyful and festive atmosphere was greatly reduced by the pain, which was a bit more gain than loss. The reason is that I can't blame others. I blame myself only for not being able to control my mouth, and my greed for food and drink is causing my body to suffer.

The traditional famous dish "Dongpo Pork" is said to have been created by Su Shi, a poet in the Northern Song Dynasty. The meat is fat but not greasy, crispy and fragrant, and can be called a delicacy handed down from generation to generation. In fact, although Su Shi was fond of delicious food, he did not eat enough. His daily life was very frugal. He once wrote in "Selecting Letters with Li Gong": "There is no limit to the desire for food and drink. Every additional frugality is also a way to cherish blessings and prolong life." He believes that the desire for food can never be satisfied, and saving every day is also a good way to cherish blessings and extend life.

Su Shi’s interpretation of restraining appetite has both practical value for health preservation and full of Zen implications. Eat less and not be greedy, which is a blessing and a long life. As the saying goes, "Easier to know than to do." The truth is not difficult to understand, but it is not easy to practice. Delicious food is now so tempting that many people just enjoy it with their mouths and tongues, regardless of the consequences.

Everything is too much, and moderation is the best policy. This is true for food and many choices in life.
