First of all, let me state that this "nature" is not that "nature". It is a quote from Li Yu, a celebrity in the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty, who wrote in the book "Xian Qing Ou Ji": "Food and color are also the nature of food. If you want to maintain your health through diet, you should not leave it."

"Xing is the most important thing." The "Xing" mentioned here refers to temperament and habits.

Li Yu was a writer, dramatist, drama theorist and esthetician in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. He was a rare artistic genius in the history of Chinese culture. He wrote more than 5 million words in his lifetime and was praised by later generations as "the ancestor of Chinese drama theory" and "the founder of Chinese drama theory".

"Master of Comedy in the World" and "Shakespeare of the East", he is an advocate of leisure culture and a pioneer of the cultural industry.

Li Yu is also a very alternative gourmet. His view on diet is different from the traditional diet and health theory. He believes that diet should be arranged according to each person's "nature", and he proposed six specific diet methods for literati: First

, those who love food eat more.

Li Yu believes: "If you love eating food throughout your life, you can maintain your health. There is no need to look up "Food Materia Medica"." He believes that the dietary taboos stipulated in books such as "Food Materia Medica" may not be suitable for everyone.

Second, those who are afraid of eating eat less.

Li Yu believes that if you force yourself to eat food that you don't like to eat by nature, it will not only be detrimental to your health, but will also lead to disease.

Third, don’t be too full if you are too hungry.

Li Yu believes that you should control your diet and avoid overeating due to hunger, which means don't eat a lot at once when you are too hungry.

Fourth, don’t be hungry if you are too full.

Li Yu said: "You should not drink more than seventy percent when you are hungry." This is what we often say that eating seventy percent full is in line with the principle of healthy eating.

Fifth, do not eat when you are angry or sad.

Li Yu said that you should not eat when you are angry or sad, because "when you are angry, food is easy to go down and it is difficult to go away; when you are sad, it is hard to go down and eat down."

Sixth, do not eat when you are tired or bored.

Li Yu believes that if you eat when you are tired, "the food will stop in the middle and will not be able to go down." If you eat when you are bored, "if you are not feeling very good, you will not be able to go down, and vomiting will follow."
