Live Regularly and Cultivate Wellbeing
Having practiced medicine and taught for over six decades, Dr. Wangdui, as a Tibetan doctor, diligently works in clinical settings for more than 10 hours daily.

As a researcher, he never lets go of a book, delving deeply into ancient Tibetan medical texts.In such a busy work environment, Wangdui, who holds three roles, still maintains high spirits. To him, when busyness becomes a habit, it turns into enjoyment. His dedication to researching Tibetan medicine supports his life dedicated to its preservation.Living Regularly and Immersed in WorkIn Wangdui's long career, "sitting still" is not the norm. Upon arriving at work, he always wishes to be involved in every step, often filling his schedule so tightly that he only sleeps for 3-4 hours a day. To most people, his daily routine of seeing patients, teaching, reading, and researching seems immense and fast-paced, but this does not leave Wangdui feeling drained; instead, his body has adapted to this constant state of busyness.The Huangdi Neijing states: "Ancient people who understood the Dao followed the principles of yin and yang, harmonized with the methods of health… -

For a healthy fall: Sleep more, drink more water and stay warm
TCM recommends getting one more hour of sleep, drinking more water and eating moistening foods to maintain health and keep your body's energy in sync with cosmic energy.Chu Shu on the Chinese lunar calendar usually falls around August 23. Temperatures usually remain high for around 18 days before it starts to cool off south of the Yangtze River, according to Qing Jia Lu by Gu Tieqing in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). The book describes the culture and customs in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, and nearby areas.At this time of year, the yang energy in the universe begins to descend from its peak while yin energy starts to grow. Accordingly, the yang energy in the human body also starts to decline. Thus, at least another hour of sleep is recommended.Though ancient Chinese wisdom calls for taking a nap whenever you feel sleepy after Chu Shu, in these times it's not possible to just nod off when you feel like it. A nap of up to an hour at midday is recommended, if you can manage.Getting good quality sleep at zi (11pm-1am) and wu (11am-1pm) is important for health.The yin and yang energy in the human body will shift along with energy changes in the… -
Century-old countryside library still shining, evolving
KUNMING, May 11 ( tasteallchina ) -- Crossing the double rainbow bridge at the entrance of Heshun ancient town in southwest China's Yunnan Province reveals a two-story building blending Chinese and Western architectural styles. This is Heshun Library in the city of Tengchong, a library boasting around 130,000 volumes, including numerous invaluable ancient books, and a history spanning over a century. In 1924, inspired by progressive ideas, young locals in remote Heshun recognized the importance of knowledge, wisdom, and external information for the village's prospects to progress. Despite the challenge of long delays in receiving periodicals from Shanghai due to Heshun's southwestern location, they resolved to establish a reading and newspaper society, thereby laying the foundation for today's Heshun Library. At that time, books and newspapers were purchased from Shanghai, shipped by sea to Myanmar, then transported by riverboat in Myanmar, before finally being carried by horses to Heshun. The people of Heshun advocate reading, and their tradition of valuing both farming and studying has been passed down through generations. Cun Yu, the current curator of Heshun Library, said that after a busy day of farming, locals would rush to the library to read, and their passion for reading has… -
