养生十二说(1) 什么是养生 人体有五脏,北京有九个城门。北京城和人体养生之间似乎风马牛不相及。但是北京中医药大学副教授曲黎敏认为,北京的九个城门恰好对应着人体五脏的功能。那么心和前门是什么关系,肾和安定门又是什么关系呢? 我经常会提到一个观点,就是哪怕懂北京城也可能懂我们中国的养生之道。比如说过去大家都听说过有一个九门提督鳌拜(鳌拜的图片),实际上就是指的是原先主管北京九个城门的这么一个官员。那么关于北京的九个城门是怎么样设计的呢? 北京的九门分布如下:北方,德胜门、安定门;南方宣武门、崇文门,正南为正阳门,也叫前门;西方为西直门、阜成门;东方为东直门、朝阳门。除南方只有一个门之外,其余三个方向都是两个门。...
《有做才有爱》作者:背水沉舟第一章没钱就等于没爱情1今天是5月20日,是吴越最兴奋的一天了,因为,今天是他的女朋友小玉的生日,22岁生日。对女人而言,一年有五大节庆,即西洋情人节、中国情人节、她的生日、三八妇女节、圣诞节。一个男人敢骂女人三八,敢放女人鸽子,敢说女人脸蛋不够好看,敢嫌女人身材不够纤细,但绝不敢在这五大节庆里不上贡一些礼品与花朵以表示忠贞不渝、绝无贰心。所以,冷落早早的就预定了玫瑰和蛋糕,等着下班后一起共度烛光晚餐。这并不是令吴越兴奋的原因,令他兴奋的是在以前的时候,小玉曾对他说过,她决定在这一天这个生日后将自己的第一次交给吴越。换作任何一个男人想到在烛光晚餐后,在浪漫的气氛下,在酒精的渲染下,自己最心爱的女人将自己的第一次交给自己恐怕都会感到兴奋吧。...
前言(1)1962年,我的第一次印度之旅把我带到了阿赫梅达巴这个城市,在此我应邀主持一个有关人生周期的研讨会。阿赫梅达巴是一个通常被旅游者忽视的印度城市,但它却有着独特的历史。自古以来,这个城市一直以纺织品加工和出口为主。今天,人们往往把那些工会组织高度发达的工业化城市贬为美国的匹兹堡(或者说是曾经的匹兹堡)。然而,这个城市特别引人注目之处恰恰在于,从中世纪以行会组织为基础的都市发展到现代化的工业城市,它一直主要是由当地人投资、由当地一些大家族管理的。我借住在当地一个大家族中,很快就重新领悟到甘地在该市劳资关系中曾经担当的角色,以及这种角色对他以后上升为民族领袖所发挥的作用。说“重新领悟”是因为我对阿赫梅巴达产生了一种似曾相识的感觉。当一个旅行者处于一个他以前想象不出、也念不准名字的外国城市时,这种错觉有时会闯进他的脑海。年轻时,我就知道甘地住在阿赫梅达巴或者附近,总...
VIICONSIDERATIONS BY THE WAYHear what British Merlin sung,Of keenest eye and truest tongue.Say not, the chiefs who first arriveUsurp the seats for which all strive;The forefathers this land who foundFailed to plant the vantage-ground;Ever from one who comes to-morrowMen wait their good and truth to borrow.But wilt thou measure all thy road,See thou lift the lightest load....
BROWN OF CALAVERASA subdued tone of conversation, and the absence of cigar smoke andboot heels at the windows of the Wingdam stagecoach, made itevident that one of the inside passengers was a woman. Adisposition on the part of loungers at the stations to congregatebefore the window, and some concern in regard to the appearance ofcoats, hats, and collars, further indicated that she was lovely.All of which Mr. Jack Hamlin, on the box seat, noted with the smile...
对面坐的小严伸了个懒腰:“哎,累死我了。杜姐,还不歇会儿?”她这一说,我也觉得自己头昏脑涨了。唉,不服还真不行,人过了40就好比石头下山,一溜斜歪往下滚,止都止不住。年轻的时候看一宿书,第二天该干吗干吗。高考的时候,因为亢奋,连着三夜没合眼,越想睡越清醒的像洗了冷水澡,数绵羊数的都能开牧场了,只好爬起来吃安眠药。一片还是两片?一片怕不管用,两片又怕到时醒不过来,或人是醒了,脑子却半睡半醒。一片吧。谁知一点没用。想着这下可玩完了,脑子还不一盆糨糊?嘿,好运气来了挡都挡不住,所有的题别管对错全做了。最后一门课考完,监考老师笑眯眯地说,这考场有一个能考上的就是你。还真让他说中了。不知道那考场是不是只有我一人考上,反正我考上了是没错。年轻真好呀。...

SHERLOCK HOLMESTHE ADVENTURE OF THE BLANCHED SOLDIERby Sir Arthur Conan DoyleThe ideas of my friend Watson, though limited, are exceedinglypertinacious. For a long time he has worried me to write an experienceof my own. Perhaps I have rather invited this persecution, since Ihave often had occasion to point out to him how superficial are hisown accounts and to accuse him of pandering to popular taste instead...
The Brotherhood of Consolationby Honore de BalzacTranslated by Katharine Prescott WormeleyFIRST EPISODEMADAME DE LA CHANTERIEITHE MALADY OF THE AGEOn a fine evening in the month of September, 1836, a man about thirtyyears of age was leaning on the parapet of that quay from which aspectator can look up the Seine from the Jardin des Plantes to Notre-Dame, and down, along the vast perspective of the river, to theLouvre. There is not another point of view to compare with it in the...
THE SUN-DOG TRAILSITKA CHARLEY smoked his pipe and gazed thoughtfully at the POLICEGAZETTE illustration on the wall. For half an hour he had beensteadily regarding it, and for half an hour I had been slylywatching him. Something was going on in that mind of his, and,whatever it was, I knew it was well worth knowing. He had livedlife, and seen things, and performed that prodigy of prodigies,namely, the turning of his back upon his own people, and, in so far...
