Features: Leisure is an important part of the life process. Therefore, leisure issues inevitably involve life issues. 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 "life" concept in the pre-Qin period, later developed by the Taoist school and Taoism, and has become a life view that values life, preserves life, maintains health, achieves life, nourishes life, and respects life, spreading to the world. This book starts from the perspective of leisure to re-examine the Chinese people's theories of health preservation and life values, and further explores the leisure view of the Chinese people, in response to modern Western leisure studies theory.
