There are countless longevity cases among modern and contemporary artists and calligraphers, such as the modern painter He Xiangning and Qi Baishi, both of whom lived over ninety years. The cultivation of health through calligraphy and painting includes both practicing calligraphy and painting, and appreciating calligraphy and painting. Practicing calligraphy and painting involves personally holding the brush, integrating learning, fitness, and self-appreciation into one. The appreciation of calligraphy is through admiring and savoring the works of famous calligraphers and artists from ancient and modern times, such as inscriptions and steles, and obtaining spiritual resonance and the enjoyment of beauty. Therefore, both are beneficial to physical and mental health. Some people compare the practice of calligraphy and painting to qigong exercises without practicing qigong. Firstly, calligraphy emphasizes the intention, and when practicing, one must calm the mind, focus the attention, and exclude distractions, which is similar to the breathing exercises and intention retention in qigong. Secondly, both calligraphy and painting emphasize posture, requiring the head to be straight, the shoulders to be level, the chest to be open, and the back to be straight, and to hold the brush with the wrist suspended, concentrating all the strength on the upper limbs, which is extremely close to the posture of qigong practice.
