Some people also experience symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, decreased memory and work productivity, heart palpitations and insomnia, anxiety, depression, sensitivity and paranoia. These symptoms indicate that they have entered menopause early.
In the past, women usually began to slowly enter menopause at the age of 45-48, but now more and more women like Ms. Pang are experiencing early menopausal symptoms. Early menopause is related to many factors, such as high competitive pressure, fast pace of life, complex interpersonal relationships, poor family relationships, staying up late, and worrying about children's education, etc. Behind the success of many modern white-collar women, there are many hardships and frustrations hidden. Mental stress affects endocrine, leading to premature ovarian failure and various menopausal symptoms. If you don't pay attention and don't intervene, the family will be "filled with smoke" at best, and it will be a tragedy for the family at worst.
Because of the imbalance of hormone levels during menopause, women become emotionally unstable. If the people around you, especially family members, cannot care for them at this time, the situation will be even more serious. During menopause, in addition to learning to adapt to themselves and face the environment, the most important thing for women is not to close themselves off, actively participate in social activities, enjoy life, and do their best to participate in labor. If you stay at home all day and mope, it will aggravate your condition. Books need to be adjusted both psychologically and physiologically, and medication needs to be taken appropriately under the guidance of a doctor if necessary.
Calligraphy - releasing the freedom of the soul
Calligraphy is a spiritual dance that is appreciated and interpreted with the eyes and the heart. It is the free spirit active on paper and the nourishment of the soul in life. chicken soup. Generation after generation, it nourishes our hearts, soothes our anxious souls, and allows us to have a soul that lives poetically and leisurely in a reality full of helplessness and struggle. Let us find our soul's destination in the appreciation and creation of calligraphy, understand the breadth and depth of Chinese culture, and obtain spiritual nourishment and high-level cultural enjoyment.
One of the most outstanding art categories in human civilization has been ignored because it cannot find a counterpart in Western art. This neglected art embodies the lofty spiritual freedom of the Chinese people, even reaching the level of reached a level that ancient Greece and Rome had not reached. The West only began to show this in their portrait art in modern times, but compared to China's art that has matured for thousands of years, they are still naive and rudimentary. This art category that intuitively expresses the free spirit of the Chinese people is calligraphy.
One of the reasons why calligraphy has been ignored by human civilization is its universality. For the Chinese, writing is so common that every child can practice it at will, and anyone can write on the ground in the park dipped in water. Calligraphy, no matter how high or low, allows all people to express their feelings in its name. The second reason is the mystique of Westerners. Chinese calligraphy is like a heavenly book in their eyes. Chinese people cannot express the beauty and free spirit contained in Chinese calligraphy in a way that Westerners can understand. The way Chinese characters are created and the vertical lines are arranged so that the unwritten Chinese characters fit exactly into the beginning of the next character. The different individual Chinese characters, once freely arranged by the calligrapher, form endless smooth dotted lines. Let the calligrapher do his best to show the infinite possibilities of imagination.
It provides the greatest possible freedom for the expression of the heart and spirit.
This is the key point that distinguishes calligraphy from other arts. Speaking of freedom, Chinese calligraphy can achieve the state of spiritual freedom through intuition rather than logical thinking.
As the main body of urban civilization, people have also lost their spiritual freedom while enjoying the fruits of material civilization. Calligraphy allows our desire for freedom to find a way to indulge our souls: it gets rid of the entanglement of the images of all things in nature and highly simplifies the presentation of language. When we calm down and express ourselves freely, calligraphy shows us the holy land of the soul. After a hard day's physical and mental work, we can find a free space here. Calligraphy expresses our dreams of freedom and provides us with a place of spiritual rest. In terms of spiritual freedom, cursive script is undoubtedly the pinnacle of Chinese calligraphy. Expressing spiritual artistic conception completely based on one's own understanding, such as Wang Xizhi's "Lanting Preface" and Zhang Xu's "Wild Grass", are the author's publicity and spiritual indulgence at that time, and are the generation of a free spirit. Such a work cannot be copied even by the author himself.
Readers of a book will gain a spiritual state.
Calligraphy is an art in which calligraphers use Chinese characters to describe their hearts, express emotions, and relax their images. Through the calligrapher's emotion and wisdom, Chinese characters become vivid and lively, conveying the calligrapher's spiritual message. This kind of information is actually the breath of artistic life, and its atmosphere and realm are different.
Ethereal. This is the highest state of calligraphy, which is what Zhuangzi calls "the infinite state". Wang Wei's poems, Bada Shanren's calligraphy and painting, and Wang Xizhi's calligraphy are all examples of ethereal and extreme perfection, which can only be achieved when a person's character is refined and refined, and he forgets both things and himself. Their works are fresh and elegant, like wild cranes and fairy tales. Their brushwork is natural and fades away, leaving behind the human spirit and the truth, goodness and beauty of art. Calligraphy is the art closest to "Zen" and "Tao". These masters are masters of meditation and calligraphy, and their works are filled with a childlike innocence like the chirping of cicadas. Also known as the "natural childish state". Childlike innocence is the ideal state of "Laozi": "Chaos is like an unborn baby." From the perspective of calligraphy art, it is a kind of straightforward beauty and natural beauty that seems unconventional but does not lose common sense. It was a kind of freedom. The beauty of innocence and simplicity. That is, the realm of "foolishness" and "simple yet true" wisdom. The ancients said, "A fool will achieve perfection, and a fool will become an immortal." It seems simple, but in fact it is profound.
Boundless atmosphere. Also known as the Qi of Heaven and Earth. This is a bold, broad, and mysterious artistic temperament that is gradually formed by calligraphers following their example, showing a big mind, a broad vision, and a generous spirit. Some of these calligraphy works are like mountains, tall and straight; some are like sea dragons, winding and winding; some rivers rush like torrents and sweep like bamboos. For example, Yue Fei's calligraphy "Man Jiang Hong" has smooth and vigorous brushwork and overflows with national justice. Another example is Mao Zedong's poetry and calligraphy. His poetry and calligraphy are majestic, showing a dignified atmosphere and magnanimity, sweeping away dragons and snakes, swallowing mountains and rivers angrily, trying to cover up the past and present. Such a big undertaking is impossible for those without wisdom and mind.
There are three common realms of calligraphy. The first is "pen in hand", which is the basic skill of a calligrapher. Only by mastering the basic skills can you express your feelings through the pen and ink in your hands. The second is the "image in mind" stage. At this time, you only have what you want to express in your heart, and you forget the pen in your hand. Just like playing Tai Chi Chuan, the Qi is in front and the hands are behind. The third type is "self-forgetting heart and self-forgetting hands", which is the state of unity between nature and man. This is what we call "returning to nature". This is almost the highest level of martial arts: 3354. The real master with a sword is "swordless". "The elephant is invisible, but its voice is loud and its voice is weak." This is a great practice and the best way to the great road and truth. It is the highest state of art, the highest state of life, and the perfect state of great freedom and ease.

Wang Xizhi's Guan Juge needs to be turned with a pen; Lu intuitively realized the intention of Long Paddle Wave Road.
