Er Bai Liu Shi Sui Ren Rui Shi Ji An Authentic and True Record of the 250-Year-Old Man

In 1927, General Yang Sen invited Li Qingyun to Wanxian, China, to teach about health and longevity. Li Qingyun was reported to be 250 years old at the time, and his visit to Wanxian was big news. In 1970, Yang Sen compiled this book of his and others' accounts of Li Qingyun. Besides the notion of someone living to 250 years of age, this work goes well beyond the biography of Li Qingyun's life. It has great historical value, especially for those who are unfamiliar with much of Chinese history towards the end of the Qing dynasty. It also explains incredible health therapies and provides information on Medical Qigong. Much is explained about Taoism on meditation, breathing, qigong exercise, food, sex, and philosophy for Taoist living. Another true gem of this book is the philosophical teachings. It is rare to come across a text with such abundance of insights and written with such clarity as this book provides.
