The phenomenon of longevity in Xiayi has a strong historical and cultural background, a harmonious natural and humanistic environment, and a coordinated economic and social foundation.
Xiayi is the ancestral home of Confucius, and the hometown of Confucius, Qufu, as a neighbor, has a profound Confucian cultural precipitation. Confucius said, "A benevolent man enjoys the mountains", "A benevolent man does not worry", "A benevolent man lives", and "Great Virtue will get his life". Benevolent person's state of mind, peaceful as Mount Taishan, quiet as still water, not moved by selfish desires, not disturbed by temptation; not to things, not to their own sadness; no worries, no worries, their joy. With this calm state of mind, you can be indifferent to fame and fortune, not alarmed by the spoils and insults, sleep can be peaceful seat, food can be sweet ...... and thus reach the highest state of benevolence and virtue. Since ancient times, Xiayi people are simple, benevolence and virtue of thought from generation to generation, longevity of the elderly continue to emerge. As recorded in the genealogy of the family name of Si, the average age of the ancestors of the family name of Si was 86 years old in the 1st to 11th generations (starting from the Southern Song Dynasty), of which 3 were over 90 years old and 2 were over 100 years old (1 was 104 years old and 1 was 108 years old). According to Xiayi County Records, the highest age in Xiayi was 114 years old at the time of the 1982 census. The idea of benevolence and love of Confucius culture has been y rooted in people's hearts and nourished Xiayi people from generation to generation. 105-year-old Luo famous, former director of Beijing Luo Famous Traditional Chinese Medicine and Bone Injury Hospital, who was originally from Luolou Village, Caoji Township, Xiayi County, was engaged in the cause of saving the lives of the Chinese medicine practitioners, and she used to treat the leaders of the Central Government, and was named "Luo Famous" by Premier Zhou Enlai because of her excellent medical skills and great fame. "She often said, "I have saved many people in my life, and good will be rewarded with good health". 107-year-old Chi Wang of Xiazhuang Village, Luoji Township, has been kind and charitable all her life, and considers helping others as her greatest joy. 109-year-old Liu of Xibeizhuang Village, Luoji Township, has gone from being a midwife to a small businesswoman, and has made a great deal of effort in all aspects. From a midwife to a small businessman, she has helped and relieved others everywhere, and is happy with herself. "Those who love others are loved by all."...... Generosity and generosity are undoubtedly important factors in longevity.
In Xiayi, more than 80-year-olds can still play the waist drum, more than 90-year-olds riding a bicycle is also very normal, more than 100-year-olds eyes do not blur, ears are not deaf, but also still able to thread a needle, do some housework and farm work. This unique phenomenon of longevity has attracted a lot of attention from the world. in May 2008, leaders and experts from the Chinese Gerontological Society visited Xiayi County for a field trip, and recognized the phenomenon of longevity in Xiayi County. on November 26, 2008, Xiayi County became one of the 8 "Chinese Longevity Hometowns" in China that have been awarded with this honor.
Although there are no big rivers in Xiayi, there are a lot of small rivers, and there are 14 big rivers over 100 square kilometers in the county, crossing the whole territory from west to east. In the areas where long-lived old people live, there are basically rivers flowing through. Chinese Academy of Sciences, Institute of Geographic Sciences and Resources of the survey sampling results found that the Xiayi water is not simple, in addition to presenting a weak alkaline beneficial to the human body, where the average per liter of water contains selenium 0.68 micrograms of selenium, while other areas of the selenium content is generally only 0.2 micrograms.
The trace element selenium is recognized worldwide as a longevity element. There is a positive correlation between blood selenium levels in people's bodies and longevity. Experts extracted the blood of centenarians to measure the selenium content, and the results showed that the blood selenium level of centenarians is three times higher than that of normal people. Selenium is a strong antioxidant, its antioxidant capacity is 500 times higher than vitamin E. It can effectively remove free radicals in the human body, eliminate age spots, protect cells and cell membranes from damage, regulate material and energy metabolism, improve the body's resistance to disease, and thus maintain good health and slow down aging. In fact, the role of selenium is all aspects of selenium on the threat to our human health of the three major diseases - cancer, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes has a very good preventive effect. If the human body is deficient in selenium, it will lead to heart disease, diabetes, coronary heart disease, hypertension, atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, cataracts and more than 40 kinds of diseases.
Xiayi's longevity phenomenon can give us a lot of health revelations: life as a game of cards, each person's hand on behalf of the environment, family, personality, gender, lifestyle, genetics and so on. Some people have a good hand of cards but go out early, while some people use their wisdom and luck to have the last laugh. Although innate factors and external factors cannot be changed, human vitality and creativity can be turned into gold. Now, immortality may no longer be a fashionable ambition, the connotation of life and the quality of life is the fundamental pursuit of people, so that the limited life is full of infinite possibilities and infinite splendor.
