Love food and attach importance to nutrition.
Yuan Mei is good at eating. He deeply studied the food culture of our country and left a book "Suiyuan Menu" for later generations. In Yuan Mei's poems and works, there are also many ways to preserve one's health. Yuan Mei is good at food and pays attention to "not eating from time to time". Yuan Mei's "Menu with the Garden" initiated the combination of ancient China nutrition theory and practice. Yuan Mei emphasized the importance of keeping in good health in season in "Eating List with Garden". He wrote: "It is not the right time to eat cattle and sheep in winter and move them to summer." Yuan Mei believes that different seasons make different foods suitable for eating, that is, the principle of "not eating from time to time". Yuan Mei likes tofu very much. In his menu with the garden, tofu is the most popular food, such as "hibiscus tofu", "frozen tofu" and "shrimp oil tofu". Tofu is not only rich in protein, but also helpful to lose weight and prevent cancer. Tofu, fish, kelp and cabbage are the best partners. Cooking and cooking soup with these ingredients can double the nutrition.
I like to travel and exercise.
Yuan Mei loves traveling, but he never knows his age. Since he was a teenager, he loved nature and often conceived poems in beautiful places. After resigning in middle age, Yuan Mei lived a carefree sightseeing life. Yuan Mei thinks that traveling is a good way to keep fit. He thinks that traveling is a good way to cultivate sentiment and exercise. In his poem "Old Travel", he said: "Old travel thousands of miles, go forward bravely, and sing to Qianfeng repeatedly. I always feel that famous mountains are like celebrities, and I won't give up until I see them. " He compared "famous mountains" to "celebrities" and always wanted to see them soon, so he traveled thousands of miles. In his later years, Yuan Mei liked climbing mountains very much and enjoyed the pleasure of "galloping with me". At the age of 77, he visited Tiantai Mountain twice. He wrote in the poem "Going out to revisit the rooftop on February 28": "I am still alive, and Qianshan does not let people. Put on the longevity stick again and cross the river directly. Liu Ruxue, peach blossoms are everywhere. Friends and relatives smile together, and there is this ancient spirit. " It is this passion for travel that makes him more energetic as he gets older.
Optimistic, positive and good attitude
Yuan Mei is very active in life. He said that he was "eighty years old" and his life was more leisurely in his later years. After Yuan Mei resigned, he built a garden in Xiaocang Mountain to cultivate his feelings. In his later years, he summed up the greatest pleasure in life as "a good flower in a bag". Among many flowers, Yuan Mei likes orchids best. He once wrote in the poem "I am successful": "After three days of smoking in the blue, I only feel light." This means that when he is in the orchid, he feels tall and comfortable. After retiring from the countryside, Yuan Mei mainly engaged in reading and writing, but in addition to mental work, he also paid attention to exercising his bones and muscles, so as to be active and quiet. Besides walking, practicing boxing and sword dancing, he also likes pruning fruit trees and farmland. These activities make him tireless. Yuan Mei faced life and death calmly. He believes that birth, illness, death and illness are natural laws, so there is no need to be afraid. He wrote in the poem "Love the Old": "Let's sleep happily together." This calm bearing is admirable.
