title: [Features of health preserving for the elderly in Shouqin Yanglao Xinshu].
abstract: Shouqin Yanglao Xinshu, written by CHEN Zhi in the Song dynasty and revised by ZOU Xuan in the Yuan dynasty, is an extant older book on health preservation for the elderly. The book emphasizes that old people should keep a peaceful mind and descendants should show filial obedience to them. Also, diet and medicine regulation could be used as a combination. Those records, which are in accord with old people's physiological and pathological characteristics, embody the features of ancient Chinese civilization and are also of great value for old people's health preservation in modern times.
