Features: Leisure is an important part of the process of life. Therefore, the issue of leisure necessarily involves the issue of life. The life sentiment pursued by the ancient Chinese, "carefree clouds and wild cranes," can experience the leisurely life view of the Chinese people. This life view originates from the concept of "valuing life" in the pre-Qin period, which was later developed by the Taoist school and Taoism, eventually becoming a life view that values life, preserves life, maintains health, achieves life, nourishes life, and respects life, and spread to the world. This book starts from the perspective of leisure to re-examine the Chinese theory of health preservation and life values, and further explores the leisure view of the Chinese people, in response to modern Western leisure theory.
