《攝養詩》明。龔廷賢
惜氣存精更養神，
少思寡欲勿勞心。
食惟半飽無兼味，
酒止三分莫過頻。
每把戲言多取笑，
常含樂意莫生嗔。
炎涼變詐都休問，
任我逍遙過百春。
"Health Cultivation and Maintenance Poem"
-- by Gong Tingxian （1522～1619）
-- Translated by Frank C Yue
Treasure Qi and Essence, cultivate Positive Attitude,
Curb deep thoughts, burning desires, and burden your mind less still.
When eating you should only fill up your stomach half-way,
Over you, never let exotic flavours hold sway.
Seventy-percent sober you should remain -- drink mindfully,
Never drink too much and only drink occasionally.
Ne'er too seriously take e'erything,
For jokes let hearty laughter take wing.
Go with Joy and Pleasure always,
Don't let Anger ruin your days.
Let Frown'd Brows, Cold Shoulders pass by,
For the Changes and Frauds, don't ask why.
I'll continue -- to myself true --
O'er a hundred Springs, treading through.
this is practical and sound advice. Gong tingxian lived until he was 97, probably more than double than the average life expectancy of his contemporaries!

龔廷賢（明代 1522～1619），字子才，號雲林山人，又號悟真子，江西金溪人。父龔信，字西園，一說字瑞芝，任職太醫院，撰有《古今醫鑒》8卷。廷賢幼攻舉業，後隨父學醫。他承家學，又訪賢求師，醫名日隆。曾任太醫院吏目。1593年，治癒魯王張妃臌脹，被贊為「天下醫之魁首」，並贈以「醫林狀元」扁額。
龔廷賢著有：《種杏仙方》4卷（1577）、《萬病回春》8卷（1587）、《復明眼方外科神驗全書》6卷（1591）、《云林神彀》（1591）、《魯府禁方》4卷（1594）、《壽世保元》10卷（1615）、《小兒推拿方脈全書》3卷（1604）。尚有《醫學準繩》4卷、《經世全書》8卷，《痘疹辨疑全幼錄》3卷，《本草炮製藥性賦定衡》13卷等。亦托名為龔氏所撰。
'《內經》：“恬淡虛無，真氣從之，精神內守，病安從來。”意思是放平心態，做事從容不迫，也別總是勞心勞神，就不容易生病。 唐代醫學家孫思邈活了101歲，他在《千金要方·養性序》中也說：“道德日全，不祈壽而有福，不求壽而自延，此養生之大旨也。”'
