The Exercise Effect of Bridge on the Brain
Bridge is no stranger to modern people, and many national leaders are fans of it. Deng Xiaoping, the late leader of our country, liked playing bridge very much before his death. People linked his hobby with his wisdom, health and longevity. Many political and business celebrities in the world also like bridge.
Not long ago, the celebrity bridge competition held in the Great Hall of the People attracted senior leaders and celebrities from the central ministries and commissions. The exemplary role of these celebrities urges us to think rationally about the benefits of bridge. Today, this sport attracts more and more people in China. Bridge, chess and go are called together. Three intellectual sports in the world? , known as? Brain aerobics? Known as. The most fundamental difference between it and mahjong and poker is that the bridge game excludes the element of luck to the maximum extent, so it requires a higher level of brain use. After two or three hours of games, it is tantamount to giving the brain a valuable aerobic exercise.
Bridge is a mental game that can effectively promote health, and it seems to be more suitable for the elderly. Because bridge is an accurate and scientific sport, it can exercise people's reaction ability, enhance people's thinking ability and improve people's communication and cooperation ability. So bridge can be healthy, delay aging and rejuvenate. The experience of many people engaged in bridge sports tells us that after a period of bridge activities, people can become refreshed, strong, exercise their minds, improve their sleep, and even relieve the symptoms of cerebral arteriosclerosis for many years.
According to the survey of developed countries in Europe and America, engaging in bridge and enjoying sports for a long time can increase the vitality of brain cells in the elderly and obviously delay the process of brain atrophy, while the risk of Alzheimer's disease is 1% of the general population.
The reason why bridge can promote the health and longevity of the elderly is because it is a very interesting, competitive, team and intellectual game activity. It is said that it is a sport because it has the characteristics and characteristics of many competitions. Because of this, bridge, as a performance project, was included in the Asian Games and the Olympic Games. Life lies in exercise, and health comes from exercise. The elderly can keep their spirits and bodies in a healthy and energetic state by constantly exercising in this kind of intellectual movement that combines static and dynamic.
Many health preservation theories emphasize that the elderly should use their brains and exercise hard in order to maintain overall health and delay aging. Bridge is a mental exercise for the elderly. At the same time, it also promotes their physical activities to a certain extent. In bridge sports, people's emotions, reactions and many other aspects are very similar to those in other sports.
The fun of playing bridge mainly lies in seldom relying on luck, but basically relying on wisdom. In the process of playing cards, a lot of knowledge of mathematics and logic is needed, and the ability of memory and calculation is very important in bridge. At the same time, the interesting thing about bridge is that the element of luck is inevitable when playing bridge (the so-called luck is that your judgment is just in line with the road). If you only say one deck of cards, the master will definitely beat the beginner. In addition, after careful calculation and judgment, the player completed a difficult contract with some advanced gameplay (such as throwing in, squeezing cards, etc.). ), this is self-evident.
The elderly, especially those who retire at home, often have some unexpected changes in psychology and physiology due to the lack of beneficial mental activities and normal interpersonal communication, resulting in loneliness and loss, which leads to listlessness, physical decline and accelerated aging. Bridge can stimulate the old people's interest in participating in collective activities and interpersonal communication, and enhance their positive brain thinking, and skillfully apply their accumulated life and work experience and wisdom to bridge wits and wits, so as to keep their higher nervous activities in good condition? Running at high speed? State, to achieve the effect of brain-heart integration.
Bridge pays the most attention to cooperation with peers and competition with opponents. This relationship between cooperation and competition is a typical healthy interpersonal communication and a good form of activity to make up for the lack of interpersonal communication among the elderly. In this kind of game communication, the spirit, mood and body of the elderly can be well adjusted. Therefore, the elderly who often participate in bridge sports often show the characteristics of optimism, openness, initiative, quick thinking, easy to get along with others and mental health, thus promoting their physical and mental health. Form a positive and beneficial virtuous circle between life, exercise and health.
The school invited Mr. Yang, the bridge champion of Liaoning Province, to give a lecture on bridge knowledge popularization in the multifunctional classroom at 9: 00 on Wednesday morning. If possible, consider offering a bridge course. I hope everyone can attend then!
An advanced experience story about playing bridge
First of all, can I give you a brief introduction? Bridge? What should be the first reaction of most people? High IQ? A card game played by the crowd.
Bridge, as an elegant, civilized and competitive intellectual game. Like golf, it is called. The aristocratic movement? ) has become a performance event of the 20 12 Summer Olympic Games and an official competition event of the 2007 National University Games.
Our beloved Deng Xiaoping is a well-known bridge lover, so people feel that this is an elegant card game ~ (the main gameplay can be searched online by yourself ~ I promise to sigh that my IQ is not enough to understand the rules of bridge after reading a blank sheet of paper ~ hahaha)
First contact with the bridge
A few years ago, I was 20 years old. At the stage when the brain is ignorant of the whole social group, sensibility occupies the brain. After several years of study, I can now say with certainty that bridge can definitely make you more rational and logical!
I have been in contact with my family since I was young, because bridge is a social game. Father often organizes business partners to play together, including many successful people and class cadres. First of all, the game literacy of the whole group I contacted at that time brought me a completely different live experience from the popular entertainment games. And after the game, each partner resumed the transaction with each other. Even if the partner made a mistake, he didn't blame and scold loudly, but made logical reasoning with his partner by memorizing the playing situation before reciting, and proved the other party's mistake. . . Wait a minute. What amazes me is their super memory! ), take the time to start studying after graduating from the college entrance examination.
Unlike board games, playing bridge requires a partner. And never talk, playing cards depends entirely on your own judgment and tacit understanding with your companions. The longer the cooperation time, the smoother the communication, and the more tacit the understanding of going out to play games.
Many people say that playing mahjong is also available? Mahjong partner? Yes ~ hehe, this is the main reason why mahjong can't be an elegant game ~ is there a set of bridge that is accurate? Brand language? Communication system, even if everyone has learned this? Basic language? However, you can't play games on behalf of individuals like mahjong. Bridge is not a game for one person. It has a strong sense of teamwork. By knowing some information, you can know the number of cards, the distribution of colors, and the number of cards in the hands of all other players except yourself.
Start learning bridge
Personally, no matter what you do, these three elements are indispensable: time, location, people and so on. In learning this matter, a good tutor, a good learning atmosphere and a self-study attitude are all indispensable.
Here, I want to share that not everyone has to learn bridge, or how high my starting point is. (After all, the learning content is exactly the same) But after my personal study, many people and things that I became attached to brought me different feelings and experiences. But the first time I learned bridge, I didn't simply go to the bridge classroom to study, but I studied with many elders who had no basic experience but had fruitful results in all walks of life. So, that's it? Good luck? Based on my personal experience, I think that in unfamiliar industries, age and experience are only a primitive accumulation, and hard work the day after tomorrow is the key. Many times, because you are young, you go out just to be old? Rely on the old and sell the old? , all kinds? You are still young. You don't understand. Can you do it? Be denied. . )
The first time I studied was under the recommendation of a respected elder, and I joined a bridge class organized by a well-known enterprise association (I didn't know it at that time, but I thought it was just taught by the school, which just happened to catch up with this problem). The lecturer is a former heavyweight of the national team (later became my respected big brother)
Okay, that's the theme. (It can be seen as a story ~ My mental journey of learning bridge has really enjoyed it since I tried to play it. )
At that time, I just arrived at the place where I studied. It was a medium-sized beautifully decorated conference room. There are already a lot of preparatory staff to arrange it at the scene, and there is also a special sign-in desk. (I thought I came to a gathering place) I timidly ran over and asked, who is this? Teacher XX's bridge class? Really? As a result, the puzzled eyes of the on-site personnel brought me to the position (next to the first row). Soon, many people arrived one after another, exchanging greetings and shaking hands as soon as they entered the door.
? Captain XX, you're here. ?
? Hey, are you interested in this too?
? Hey, why don't we play cards together in the future?
With the increase in the number of people, they are basically seated on time. Take a look, they are all elders, imposing. .
At that time, for myself who had just graduated from school and had never worked, ostentation and extravagance, this age group, this suit and tie, all kinds of situations were very confused. . Wow, sure enough, the bridge is a? Tall? Things ~ haha, the instant self-feeling has improved n times. Forgive my shallowness. . Hehehe)
At the same time, I can feel everyone's puzzled eyes on me, and a little girl is sitting in the seat together. Actually, I make soy sauce. )
After all kinds of introductions by the host, the formal learning process began (omitting N introductions, it is nothing more than what kind of people are there, all kinds of welcome, all kinds of opportunities for everyone to socialize, etc.). . )
Look, speaking of socializing, actually, at this time, I'm already experiencing it myself. As mentioned earlier, bridge is a social activity. In addition to playing golf and tennis together, playing bridge is also a social activity of many high-level companies.
After that, I officially entered the learning mode. It's hard to imagine that many executives who give lectures or give orders in their own company's conference room will carefully take notes in the textbooks distributed in class (you can't remember them immediately without taking notes) and listen carefully (you really can't understand what the teacher is saying without listening carefully). Such a good learning atmosphere brings me all kinds of seriousness ~
After that, I have a class once a week, which basically takes an afternoon to study. The teacher has been emphasizing? Attitude is everything? At least in the process of learning from our elders, we can see from everything they do how they learn, learn and communicate with each other on things they don't understand. Until you understand and use it.
After each class, only a handful of people are absent unless they are very busy. After learning simple rules and playing cards in teams, many students have begun to like bridge. And I also met several people in the process of studying. Have you forgotten the New Year? Card friends, there is no generation gap between us because of bridge. After all, what are you talking about? * * * The same language? All right. At first, I didn't understand what the teacher said. I thought it was fun anyway, so forget it. Then the teacher will make up lessons for me privately, and my peers will drag me to play together. Even if I made a mistake, I didn't blame, but encouraged each other. In this atmosphere, I became less afraid of making a mistake. I followed suit and watched my failure.
In the process of learning, playing cards is the key point, but the teacher has never forgotten to mention all kinds? Playing cards etiquette? . It is also very important that I personally like bridge. In the rules of playing games, the game is a game after all, but mutual respect between partners and opponents is an important part of making this game meaningful.
Bridge tracking
Although the semester of the study class is over, my friends who are keen on playing cards continue to communicate with each other, even though I have been stagnant for several years (gave birth to a doll,? Baby brain for three years? ), the excitement of touching the card again now is indescribable.
Maybe dear, you all have your favorite activities and interests. Maybe you think that clubbing all day is the spiritual source of your happiness. Maybe you think that keeping yourself busy doing all kinds of things every day is the enrichment of life.
And I think, when your interest can bring you different experiences and make you calm down and think about your life state and quality, your spirit will be enriched and your heart will be very happy and sunny!
