Features: Older adults should have the same desire to learn as young people, achieving the goal of "learning until old age." For older adults, learning calligraphy and painting is the most suitable choice. "Calligraphy can promote longevity" is a common experience shared by many elderly people. In China's calligraphy community, there is a saying, "Southern Immortal, Northern Buddha." "Southern Immortal" refers to Shanghai's Su Jushan, who lived to the age of 110, and "Northern Buddha" refers to Beijing's centenarian Sun Mofu, who lived to the age of 107. Both lived long lives because they were lifelong enthusiasts of calligraphy. Why can calligraphy contribute to longevity? This book provides detailed discussions and specific answers.
