In traditional China, achieving healthy longevity is the highest value of human life. At the same time, health is understood as a balanced internal state of a person, which is manifested in his healthy, simple and pleasant relationship with the outside world. Man himself is an integral part of the Universe, therefore the health of each is connected with the health of the family and the whole nation as a whole. The author speaks about the wisdom of the ruler, implying not only and not so much a person engaged in management in administrative and state structures, but first of all wants to designate the one who seeks to manage his world, the world of his consciousness, perceiving the internal and external movements of being.The book deals with immortality in every sense of the word. In the Taoist teaching, immortality, and first of all the immortality of the physical body, was the main goal of all efforts. The author fully admits that the immortality of the physical body is impossible and unattainable, but the ultimate basis for one's actions always makes them more productive.Each chapter consists of three parts that form a complete picture of the way to achieve health. In the first one, the author interpreted the Tao Te Ching (“The Book of Truth and Power” by Lao Tzu) in such a way as to reveal the ways in which consciousness works, to show the images and paths along which a healthy course of life passes, and how a state of illness arises. The second part of each chapter contains quotations from classical Chinese treatises on medicine, which, in essence, also describe the work of consciousness in the human body. The third part in the chapters is a practical understanding of Chinese wisdom. It tells about the possible application of Chinese knowledge about the structure of the world and the body, gives the main definitions and concepts that a wise ruler of the inner and outer world encounters on the path of healthy longevity, striving for eternity.
