She Paved a Path to Wellness from Her Own Hardships——A Profile of Wang Qianwen, Inheritor of Xuanyan Dao Culture, and Her Wellness Courtyard

在河北保定的易水湖边，一座小院刚刚收拾停当。灶台是新搭的，床铺是新铺的，一切都在从头开始。小院的主人叫王芊雯，号知闲子，轩延道文化传承人。此刻的她，在云南参加轩延道康养训练营，心却时时刻刻惦记着那座刚落地的小院——惦记着自己这些年吃过的苦、走过的路，能不能真的铺成别人的健康大道。

By the Yishui Lake in Baoding, Hebei Province, a courtyard has just been renovated. A new cooking stove has been built, and the beds freshly made. Everything is starting from scratch. The owner of the courtyard is Wang Qianwen, also known by her courtesy name Zhixianzi, an inheritor of Xuanyan Dao Culture. While attending a Xuanyan Dao wellness training camp in Yunnan at the moment, her heart is constantly with her newly-established courtyard. She wonders whether all the hardships and journeys she has endured over the years can truly pave a road to health for others.

一、农民的女儿，经济学的选择

（轩延道养生文化传承人王芊雯 与 原外经贸部副部长周可仁合影）

王芊雯，原名王丽薇，出生在一个普通的农民家庭。小时候，她最常看到的，是父母在田地里弯着腰劳作的背影，那时候她就暗暗发誓，长大了一定要多挣钱，让父母不再辛苦。高中毕业填报志愿，父亲让她学医或师范，她却毅然填报了大连海事大学经济学专业——她的想法很简单：学经济，能挣钱，挣了钱，父母就能享福了。

毕业后，王芊雯先后在STX（大连）海洋重工和河北永亮纺织品做采购，忙起来连喝水的时间都没有。身体很快发出警报——一到冬天就反复感冒发烧，更让她痛心的是，因身体透支过度，第一次怀孕竟然流产了。也是在那时，她接触到艾灸，调理了一段时间，体质竟真的好了很多。那是她第一次真切感受到，传统中医的智慧有着如此神奇的力量。

二〇二〇年正月十六，父亲走了。因为特殊时期去不了医院，她守在父亲身边，那种无力感像潮水一样将她淹没。她一遍遍自责：如果当初听了父亲的话，学了医，是不是父亲就不会走得那么早？是不是自己就能在父亲最需要的时候，有能力拉住他的手？这个念头，像一根刺，扎在她心里，也成了她后来一头扎进中医康养、再也不肯回头的深层缘由

I. A Farmer’s Daughter and Her Choice of Economics 。

Wang Qianwen, originally named Wang Liwei, was born into an ordinary farming family. In her childhood, what she saw most often was her parents bending over to work in the farm fields. Back then, she secretly made a vow: when she grew up, she would earn plenty of money so her parents would no longer have to toil.

When filling out college applications after high school graduation, her father suggested she study medicine or teaching. However, she resolutely chose Economics at Dalian Maritime University. Her reasoning was simple: studying economics would help her make money, and with that money, her parents could live an easier life.

After graduation, Wang Qianwen worked successively as a purchaser at STX (Dalian) Offshore & Engineering and Hebei Yongliang Textiles. She was so swamped with work that she barely had time to drink water. Soon, her body sent out warning signals. Every winter, she suffered repeated colds and fevers. Worse still, due to severe physical exhaustion, she miscarried during her first pregnancy. It was around that time that she was introduced to moxibustion. After a period of conditioning, her physical condition improved greatly. That was the first time she truly witnessed the remarkable power of wisdom from traditional Chinese medicine.

On the 16th day of the first lunar month in 2020, her father passed away. Restricted by special circumstances, they could not go to a hospital. She stayed by his side, overwhelmed by a surge of helplessness. She blamed herself repeatedly: if she had listened to her father and studied medicine, would he not have left so soon? Would she have been able to help him when he needed her most? This thought pricked at her heart, and became the deep reason why she later devoted herself wholeheartedly to traditional Chinese wellness.

二、二十一天的高烧，与一盏艾灸的灯火

（轩延道养生文化传承人王芊雯 和布基纳法索外交官共同手持荣誉证书合影。）

身体调理好之后，王芊雯再次怀孕。可孕期因和公婆闹矛盾、经常生气，孩子生下来体质不好，身体弱得像一片薄纸，动不动就生病。最让她刻骨铭心的，是孩子那次长达二十一天的高烧——白天还活蹦乱跳，一到晚上体温就飙升到四十度，中医西医都试了，就是找不到原因。二十一天，整整二十一天，王芊雯几乎没有合过眼，抱着滚烫的孩子，眼泪止不住地流。

就在她几近绝望的时候，一位老师指导她艾灸两个穴位。不到半个小时，孩子的烧竟然退了！那一刻，王芊雯泪流满面——一炷艾，两个穴位，不到半个小时，就解决了困扰她二十一天的难题。也是从那一刻起，她下定决心深入学习艾灸，后来开了一家艾灸馆，希望帮到更多像她一样无助的母亲。

I. Twenty-One Days of High Fever and the Light of Moxa

After her health recovered, Wang Qianwen became pregnant again. Yet frequent conflicts and emotional stress with her parents-in-law during pregnancy left their child with a frail constitution after birth. The little one fell ill easily. The most unforgettable ordeal was when the child suffered a continuous high fever for twenty-one days. The kid would be lively in the daytime, yet the temperature would soar to 40°C every night. Both traditional Chinese and Western medicine were tried, yet no cause could be found. For twenty-one straight days, Wang Qianwen barely slept. Holding her burning child, she could not stop her tears.

When she was nearly desperate, a mentor guided her to apply moxibustion on two acupoints. In less than half an hour, the child’s fever broke. At that moment, Wang Qianwen burst into tears. One stick of moxa, two acupoints, and less than thirty minutes solved a problem that had tormented her for weeks. From that day on, she resolved to dive deep into learning moxibustion. Later she opened a moxibustion studio, hoping to help other helpless mothers like herself.

三、跟随恩师，踏上系统学习的道路

（轩延道养生文化传承人王芊雯（知闲子） 与航天专家王一老师合影）

如果说孩子的病让王芊雯走进了中医康养的大门，那么跟随恩师刘轩延先生学习，则是她人生中最重要的转折点。

二〇一九年，王芊雯遇到了恩师——中医康养科普达人、轩延道文化创始人刘轩延先生。第一次听恩师讲课，她就被深深吸引了。恩师讲的不仅仅是中医康养知识，更是一种生命的智慧，一种看待世界、看待健康的根本方式。从那以后，她踏上了系统学习中医养生的道路，一发不可收拾。这些年，她跟随恩师走遍了大半个中国，每一次课程都全程参与，笔记累计将近千万字。

恩师教给她的，远不止艾灸、推拿、膳食调理这些技术，更是一套完整的生命智慧体系：从饮食起居到情志调养，从运动导引到心性修炼，从个人健康到家庭和睦，恩师都一一为她指明了方向。更重要的是，恩师以"文化搭台、经济唱戏、公益引领"的格局，教她如何把康养智慧落地成可持续的事业，如何以财弘道、厚德载物，如何在利他中成就自己。恩师还摈弃门户之见，推荐她拜师杨梅香主任医师——燕京学派明医传承指导老师、北京中医药大学教授、国医堂主任医师，让她学习更扎实的中医理论知识，为中医康养打下更坚实对的基础，对后来照顾中风的先生帮助极大。她常说，如果没有遇到恩师，就没有今天的自己。

III.Following Her Mentor and Embarking on Systematic Learning

If her child’s illness brought Wang Qianwen through the gate of traditional Chinese wellness, meeting her mentor marked the most important turning point in her life.

In 2019, Wang Qianwen met her mentor, Mr. Liu Xuanyan, a popular science educator of traditional Chinese wellness and founder of Xuanyan Dao Culture. She was deeply captivated the first time she attended his lecture. What the mentor shared was not merely knowledge of Chinese wellness, but wisdom of life, and a fundamental way of viewing the world and health. From then on, she set out on the path of systematic learning of traditional Chinese health preservation and never looked back. Over the years, she has traveled across most of China alongside her mentor, participating in every single course. Her accumulated notes amount to nearly ten million words.

What her mentor taught her went far beyond practical techniques including moxibustion, tuina massage and dietary conditioning. He passed on a complete system of life wisdom: daily diet and living routines, emotional regulation, movement guidance, spiritual cultivation, and even harmony within families. Most importantly, with the vision of "building a platform through culture, developing business via economy, and taking the lead with public welfare", her mentor taught her how to translate wellness wisdom into a sustainable undertaking — to promote the Dao through wealth, uphold virtue to carry responsibilities, and achieve self-fulfillment while benefiting others. Setting aside sectarian barriers, her mentor also recommended her to study under Professor Yang Meixiang, chief physician at Guoyitang, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine and an inheritance mentor of the Yanjing School of Traditional Chinese Medicine. This helped her build a solid foundation of TCM theories, which proved invaluable when caring for her husband after his stroke. She often says that without meeting her mentor, she would not be who she is today.

四、幼吾幼以及人之幼，反求诸己的修行

（轩延道养生文化传承人王芊雯与赤道几内亚外交官共同手持荣誉证书合影。）

刚开始出去学习的时候，王芊雯心里充满了愧疚——孩子在家发烧，她却在外面学习，不能守在身边。学长德茂开导她说："幼吾幼以及人之幼。你出来学习，是为了利益无数个孩子的事情，不用过于担心自己的孩子。"这句话像一盏灯，照亮了她的心。神奇的是，随着她学习的深入，孩子的身体反而越来越好了——从最开始烧一个星期，到五天、三天、一天……到现在，孩子们也受到熏陶，知道生病是不良生活习惯导致的，感冒了能自己找到原因，还知道恢复期要忌口。学习中医康养，不仅守护了家人的健康，更让她学会了"反求诸己"——遇到问题先从自己身上找原因。慢慢地，她跟先生的关系变好了，跟家公家婆的关系也变好了。她常说，中医康养，养的不仅仅是身体，更是心性。

IV. Loving One’s Own Children, Then Extending to All; Self-Reflection as Spiritual Practice

At the beginning of her studies away from home, Wang Qianwen was filled with guilt. While she was out learning, her child ran a fever at home and she could not stay beside them. Senior fellow practitioner Demao comforted her: "If you love your own children, extend that care to all children. Your studies are for the benefit of countless families. Do not worry excessively about your own." These words lit up her heart. Surprisingly, as she delved deeper into her studies, her child’s health kept improving. The fever once lasted a week, then five days, three days, one day. Now her children are influenced by what she has learned. They understand illnesses stem from poor lifestyle habits, can identify triggers when catching colds, and know what foods to avoid during recovery.

Learning traditional Chinese wellness has not only protected her family’s health but also taught her to "look inward for answers" — to seek reasons within herself when troubles arise. Gradually, her relationship with her husband improved, as did her bond with her parents-in-law. She often remarks: wellness cultivation nourishes not just the body, but the mind and temperament.

五、生死关头，先生的脑干出血

如果说孩子的病让她走进了中医康养的大门，那么先生的那场大病，则让她彻底坚定了做康养小院的决心。

二〇二五年底，先生突发脑干出血，差点丧命。上有年迈的老人，下有两个年幼的孩子，中间是生死未卜的丈夫——这个家，一下子全压在了她一个人的肩上。好在，这些年跟随恩师系统学习的康养智慧，在关键时刻派上了用场。她没有被打倒，一边配合医院治疗，一边用学到的康养知识为先生做护理。那段日子，她一边照顾病床上的先生，一边继续工作维持家用，一边安抚老人，一边还抽出时间考取了中医心理咨询师、中医体质辨别与调理师、中医养生保健膳食营养师、茶艺师等证书。别人问她怎么扛得过来，她总是笑笑说："不扛怎么办？身后空无一人，我不勇敢，谁替我坚强？"

先生清醒后一度陷入绝望，觉得后半辈子完了。王芊雯用了大半年耐心陪伴疏导，先生终于意识到，自己之所以中风，完全是不良生活习惯导致的——抽烟、熬夜、喝冰饮料、刷手机、吃外卖、好吃懒做，还傲慢不听劝。他说："我太自私了，以前你怎么跟我说我都听不进去，上有老下有小，我只顾自己快活。"他还说，自己能被救回来，完全得益于后期的专业护理，得益于这些年王芊雯跟随恩师学习的康养智慧。可身边还有很多像他一样的人，没有健康理念，自己亲手把身体残害了，等到病倒才后悔，却已经晚了。

 V. A Brush with Death: Her Husband’s Brainstem Hemorrhage

If her child’s sickness led her into wellness, her husband’s severe illness strengthened her resolve to build the wellness courtyard.

At the end of 2025, her husband suffered a sudden brainstem hemorrhage, barely surviving. She now bore the whole burden of the family: elderly parents to support, two young children to raise, and a husband fighting for his life. Fortunately, the wellness knowledge she had systematically learned from her mentor became her anchor in this crisis. She refused to be defeated. While cooperating with hospital treatment, she used her wellness expertise to nurse him. During that difficult time, she cared for her hospitalized husband, kept working to support the household, comforted the elderly, and still found time to obtain multiple certificates: Certified TCM Psychological Counselor, TCM Constitution Identification and Conditioning Specialist, TCM Health Preservation Nutritionist, and Tea Art Master. When people asked how she endured it all, she smiled and replied: "What choice did I have? With no one to lean on behind me, if I am not brave, who will stand strong for us?"

After regaining consciousness, her husband fell into despair, thinking his life was ruined. Wang Qianwen spent more than half a year patiently comforting and guiding him. Eventually, he realized his stroke was caused entirely by poor living habits: smoking, staying up late, drinking cold beverages, endlessly scrolling on his phone, ordering takeout, being idle, and stubbornly refusing advice. He said: "I was so selfish. I ignored all your warnings, caring only for my own pleasure even though we had elders and children to look after." He also acknowledged that his survival was owed to professional long-term care and the wellness knowledge Wang Qianwen learned from her mentor. Yet many people like him lack health awareness. They harm their own bodies through bad habits and regret it only once serious illness strikes, when it may already be too late.

六、苦难生出的慈悲，康养小院的诞生

先生说，前半辈子活得太浑浑噩噩了，后半辈子不能再这样下去。两个人一拍即合——做康养小院！其实，恩师几年前就鼓励弟子们做康养小院，那时候王芊雯和先生也动心了，但总在舒适圈里走不出来，最后不了了之。可经历了先生这场生死大病之后，他们再也等不了了。他们决定做“养生系列工程践行者”，把这些年跟随恩师系统学习的康养智慧落地，去利益更多的家庭，给人们多一种选择——在生病之外，还有一种活法，叫"好好对待自己"。

说起来容易，做起来难。王芊雯之前开车连半小时都觉得吃力，可为了找到合适的小院选址，她每天开七到八个小时的车，在河北保定的深山密林里四处奔波。回到家，还要照顾两个年幼的孩子和行动不便的先生。到底是什么支撑着这样一个弱女子，在经济下行的时期义无反顾地担起大旗？是慈爱——是因为自己走过了太多弯路、吃了太多苦，便想为别人撑伞、为后来者点灯；是因为自己在最绝望的时候被中医的智慧救过、被恩师的光芒照过，所以想把这份光和热传递给更多的人。如今，小院终于落了地，虽然一切才刚刚开始，但王芊雯心里的那团火，已经越烧越旺。

VI. Compassion Forged from Suffering: The Birth of the Wellness Courtyard

Her husband reflected that he had lived a muddled first half of his life and refused to continue this way. The two reached an agreement: to build a wellness courtyard. Years earlier, their mentor had encouraged disciples to establish such courtyards. Back then, Wang Qianwen and her husband were tempted, yet hesitated in their comfort zone and put the idea aside. But after this life-threatening illness, they could wait no longer. They resolved to become practitioners of the "Wellness Project", translating the wellness wisdom learned from their mentor into real action to benefit more families. They want to show people an alternative choice beyond illness — another way of living, by treating ourselves well.

Easier said than done. Wang Qianwen used to struggle driving for just half an hour, yet to find a suitable location for the courtyard, she drove seven to eight hours every day, traveling deep into the mountains of Baoding, Hebei. After returning home, she still needed to look after her two young children and her husband with limited mobility. What supported this woman to take on such a huge mission amid an economic downturn? It was compassion. Having traveled so many rough roads and endured so much suffering, she wanted to hold an umbrella for others and light the way for those coming after her. Having been rescued by TCM wisdom and illuminated by her mentor’s guidance in her darkest hours, she hopes to pass on this warmth and light. Today, the courtyard is finally established. Although everything has just begun, the fire burning in Wang Qianwen’s heart grows brighter and stronger.

七、学无止境，坚定跟随每一期课程

王芊雯深知，空有情怀办不成事，最重要的是专业能力和经营本领。这次云南小院开课十四天，还不能完全自理的先生义无反顾地支持她来学习，他说："你去吧，家里有我。你学好了，才能帮到更多的人。"王芊雯说，她一定会坚定地跟随恩师，参加每一期轩延道康养训练营及生命纵横创业交流会的学习。在康养训练营里，她要把饮食、心理、运动各个方面的康养理念学得更深入、更落地；在生命纵横创业交流会上，她要好好学习经济运作和经营管理的真本领，践行恩师"文化搭台、经济唱戏、公益引领"的理念——以文化涵养心性，以经济创造价值，以公益积累福报。她要做，就做到最专业；要经营，就经营到最好。因为她知道，只有自己足够专业，才能真正帮到别人；只有小院经营得好，才能长久地利益更多的人，才能真正做到以财弘道、厚德载物。

VII. Lifelong Learning: Committed to Every Training Session

Wang Qianwen understands that passion alone cannot sustain such an undertaking. Professional expertise and operational capabilities matter most. For this fourteen-day training camp in Yunnan, her husband, who cannot yet fully take care of himself, fully supported her journey. He told her: "Go ahead. I will manage things at home. The more you learn, the more people you can help."

Wang Qianwen says she will faithfully follow her mentor and attend every Xuanyan Dao wellness training camp and Life & Entrepreneurship Exchange Forum. At the wellness camps, she will deepen her knowledge of diet, psychology and physical exercise for wellness. At the entrepreneurship forums, she will master economic operation and management skills, putting into practice her mentor’s philosophy: "building a platform through culture, developing business via economy, and taking the lead with public welfare". Culture nurtures temperament, economy creates value, and public welfare accumulates blessings. She aims for professionalism and sound management. She knows only when she herself is competent can she truly help others; only when the courtyard operates steadily can it benefit people for a long time, fulfilling the mission of promoting the Dao through wealth and carrying virtue.

结语：慈悲里的那盏灯

王芊雯常说，她这一路走来吃了太多的苦。可正是这些苦，熬成了她今天的良方。她把自己走过的弯路变成了别人的路标，把自己吃过的苦铺成了别人的健康大道。在河北保定的易水河边，那座刚落地的康养小院就像一盏刚刚点亮的灯。灯光虽然微弱，却温暖而坚定。知闲子，知闲而后能静，知静而后能安——那不是安逸，而是历经风雨后的从容；那不是逃避，而是看透生死后的担当。“养生系列工程践行者”这条路，王芊雯会一直走下去，坚定地跟随恩师，在文化复兴的沃土上耕耘，在经济发展的浪潮中奋进，在公益利他的道路上笃行。因为她走过的每一步，都在为后来者铺路；她点亮的每一盏灯，都在为迷途者照亮方向。

Conclusion: The Lamp of Compassion

Wang Qianwen often says she has endured countless hardships along her path. Yet those hardships have been refined into remedies for others. She turns the detours she took into signposts for others, and the pain she bore into a path to wellness. Beside the Yishui River in Baoding, Hebei, this newly-built wellness courtyard is like a newly lit lamp. Its glow may be gentle, yet warm and unwavering. Her courtesy name Zhixianzi means "one who knows tranquility". Knowing tranquility brings peace. This tranquility is not ease or idleness, but composure forged by storms; not escape, but commitment after seeing the reality of life and death.

As a practitioner of the "Wellness Project", Wang Qianwen will keep moving forward. She will faithfully follow her mentor, till the fertile soil of cultural rejuvenation, forge ahead amid economic waves, and walk steadily on the path of public welfare and altruism. Every step she takes paves the road for those who follow; every lamp she lights guides the lost.
