三篇之一 羨魚原創 Poem No. 1 of 3
-- by Frank C Yue
健體强身， Exercise for a strong body;
修心養性。 Meditate to experience Harmony.
天地行健， Heav'n and Earth move in space ocean;
自強不息。 Man, likewise, in constant motion.
三運暢通， When your qi, blood, air and wastes circulations are good,
髮煥光容 Your vibrant hair and complexion will glow as they should.
日新又新， Train today, and more, each new day;
立信恆心。 Establish a daily routine.
心平氣寧， With your qi flowing strong and mind serene,
卻病延年。 One just lives long and keeps Illness at bay.
'三運'：
1. 呼吸鉅微循環暢順，心礦神怡。
2. 氣血暢運，舒筋活絡。
3. 二便通利，水清宿便。
以上只是一己之管見。

「治未病，弘養生。」
《黃帝內經‧素問》〈四氣調神大論〉選著

Nip all latent "Illness buds" well before they germinate;
Exercise, and a healthy lifestyle always cultivate.
An 'Abridged' Quote from Huáng Dì Nèi Jīng‧Sù Wèn:

《黃帝內經‧素問〈四氣調神大論〉》曰：
... “ 陰陽四時者，萬物之終始也、死生之本也，逆之則災害生、從之則苛疾不起，是謂得道。道者、聖人行之，愚者佩之。從陰陽則生、逆之則死，從之則治、逆之則亂，反順為逆，是為內格。 是故、聖人不治己病、治未病，不治己亂、治未亂，此之謂也。夫病已成而後藥之，亂己成而後治之，譬猶渴而穿井、鬪而鑄兵，不亦晚乎！”
又曰：“ 其知道者，法於陰陽合於術數，食飲有節、起居有常、不妄作勞，故能形與神俱而盡終其天年，度百歲乃去。”
... 四季養生 “ 春夏養陽、秋冬養陰。”
「上工治未病，中工治已病」
《難經‧第七十七難》:
「所謂治未病者，見肝之病，則知肝當傳之與脾，故先實其脾氣，無令得受肝之邪，
故曰治未病焉。中工者，見肝之病，不曉相傳，但一心治肝，故曰治已病也。」
《金匱‧臟腑經絡先後病脈證第一》:
「夫治未病者，見肝之病，知肝傳脾，當先實脾，四季脾王不受邪，即勿補之；
中工不曉相傳，見肝之病，不解實脾，惟治肝也。」
《史記‧扁鵲倉公傳》:
"扁鵲 過齊，齊桓侯客之。入朝見，曰：「君有疾在腠理，不治將深。」桓侯曰：「寡人無疾。」扁鵲出，桓侯謂左右曰：「醫之好利也，欲以不疾者為功。」後五日，扁鵲復見，曰：「君有疾在血脈，不治恐深。」桓侯曰：「寡人無疾。」扁鵲出，桓侯不悅。後五日，扁鵲復見，曰：「君有疾在腸胃閑，不治將深。」桓侯不應。扁鵲出，桓侯不悅。後五日，扁鵲復見，望見桓侯而退走。……使人問其故。扁鵲曰：「疾之居腠理也，湯熨之所及也；在血脈，針石之所及也；其在腸胃，酒醪之所及也；其在骨髓，雖司命無柰之何。今在骨髓，臣是以無請也。」後五日，桓侯體病，使人召扁鵲，扁鵲已逃去。桓侯遂死。"

Some popular Chinese folk sayings on Ageing: Beware! (Tr. by F C Yue)
老從腳起！
Old age grows from your foot!
樹老根先枯，
人老腳先衰。
For the trees growing too old, first to rot is their root;
For people growing too old, first to fail is their foot.
Why is this so?
Your feet (and knees too: they support your whole body weight every day!) are located farthest from the heart that pumps out oxygenated-blood carrying the essential nutrients out to (and helping eliminate the toxic wastes from) all the tissues and organs... With the heart muscles inevitably weakening over time, the efficiency of the heart functions drops and then the extremities of the body will first suffer.
(that's why long ago i taught my grandchildren, for fun and friendly competition in the park, to "stand on one leg". the one-leg stance forces each leg to become stronger by supporting the whole weight of the body. it's not just training the leg muscles per se. with suitable encouragement and incentives, the young child gains eye-body co-ordination, stability, confidence and slowly learns how to persevere in one's pursuits ...)
