Beauty, with Health as Its Foundation

To further care for the physical and mental health of female employees, enhance their self-confidence, and showcase their healthy and uplifting spirit, the Trade Union and the Women’s Work Committee of our Academy held the Third “Female Professional Image Enhancement Salon” activity of the Academy of Marxism on September 22, 2022, in Conference Room 1237 of the Research Building. We specially invited Zhi Xiaoai, senior designer and posture management designer of Vini Fashion Group, to give a lecture at our Academy on body management and healthy posture, and to provide on-site guidance and instruction on daily exercise methods suitable for researchers, with the aim of cultivating a healthy and beautiful professional female image among our female employees. The activity was hosted by Tan Xiaojun, Director of the Academy’s Women’s Work Committee, and was attended by members of the Women’s Work Committee and dozens of female employees.

为进一步关爱女职工身心健康，提升女职工自信心，展现女职工健康向上的精神风貌，我院工会、妇工委于2022年9月22日在科研大楼1237会议室举办了马研院第三届“女性职业形象提升沙龙”活动。特邀薇妮时尚集团高级设计师、体态管理设计师郅小爱到我院做关于形体管理、健康体态的讲座，并现场指导、教授适合研究人员日常锻炼的活动方式，以期打造我院女职工健康、美丽的职业女性形象。活动由院妇工委主任谭晓军主持，妇工委委员及数十名女职工参加了沙龙活动。

First, Teacher Tan introduced the purpose of holding this salon activity: due to the nature of their work, the female employees of our Academy are often in a state of prolonged sitting without movement. Over time, many have developed problems with their shoulders, necks, and lower backs, which not only affects their physical health but also makes it difficult to maintain a good posture, thereby impacting their beauty in appearance. For this reason, we are holding this salon activity to help everyone understand the benefits of maintaining a good posture for health, and to teach everyone corresponding exercise methods, so that everyone can become more beautiful on the foundation of health.

首先，谭老师介绍了举办这次沙龙活动的目的：我们院的女职工由于工作性质，经常处于久坐不动的状态，长此以往，很多人的肩颈、腰部都出现了问题，不仅影响身体健康，而且难以保持良好的体态，也影响了形象上的美丽。为此，我们举办这次沙龙活动，就是要大家了解保持良好的体态对健康的益处，并教给大家相应的锻炼方法，使大家能够在健康的基础上，变得更加美丽。

Next, Teacher Zhi gave a lecture on related topics, divided into three parts.

接下来，郅老师就相关话题为大家讲了三部分的内容。

First, she introduced knowledge about correct posture. Teacher Zhi pointed out that figure is a comprehensive concept of body shape, with height, weight, bone structure, and body posture being comprehensive indicators for evaluating figure. Figure is closely related to people’s postures in daily work and life; many muscle and skeletal problems result from habitual incorrect postures of various body parts. Incorrect standing, sitting, and lying postures can lead to damage to joints, muscles, and tissues, and produce symptoms of discomfort and pain. To this end, she taught everyone several correct postures to maintain in daily life.

第一，介绍正确体态的相关知识。郅老师指出，身材是体型的综合概念，身高、体重和骨骼结构、身体姿势等是评价身材的综合性指标。身材与人们日常工作生活中的姿势息息相关，很多肌肉骨骼的问题都是身体各部位习惯性处于错误姿势所致。错误的站姿、坐姿及卧姿等会导致关节、肌肉和组织的损伤，并产生不适和疼痛的症状。为此，她教给大家日常要注意保持的几种正确的姿态。

Second, she helped everyone understand their own posture data. To mobilize everyone’s enthusiasm for participation, Teacher Zhi specially prepared a soft measuring tape and a body measurement form for each person, and guided everyone on-site in self-measuring and mutual measuring of their body data. Based on the problems revealed by the actual measurement data, she explained in a targeted manner the relationship between body data and healthy posture, enabling everyone to further understand knowledge related to bones, body shape, and posture.

第二，了解自己的体态数据。为调动大家参与的积极性，郅老师特意为大家每人准备了一条软尺、一张体测表，现场指导大家自测、互测自己的身体数据。根据实测数据显示出的问题，有针对性地讲解了身体数据与健康体态之间的关系，使大家进一步了解了骨骼、身形、体态的相关知识。

Third, she taught everyone a few simple posture training movements. Teacher Zhi taught everyone on-site some posture training movements suitable for the work nature of researchers. To the accompaniment of dynamic music, everyone practiced rhythmic exercises for the neck, shoulders, lower back, and legs, as well as varied fitness exercises suitable for brief relaxation in the office. Everyone moved together, feeling the long-missed joy of exercise in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

第三，学会几个简单的体态训练动作。郅老师现场教给大家一些适合研究人员工作性质的体态训练动作。在动感的音乐中，大家一起练习了锻炼颈部、肩部、腰部、腿部的韵律操以及适合办公室短暂放松的花样健身操等。大家一起动起来，在轻松、愉悦的氛围中感受到了久违的运动乐趣。

After the lecture ended, at everyone’s request, the Academy’s Women’s Work Committee also arranged with Teacher Zhi to provide three one-hour posture training guidance sessions during lunchtime on return-to-office days via Tencent Video, extending body management and healthy posture from the brief “two hours in class” to “any time outside class,” in order to urge and help everyone develop daily exercise habits and cultivate an awareness of beauty based on health.

讲座结束后，应大家要求，院妇工委还与郅老师商定，通过腾讯视频，为大家安排三次返所日中午一小时的体态训练指导，将形体管理和健康体态从短暂的“课堂两小时”延伸至“课外任意时”，以督促、帮助大家养成日常的锻炼习惯，培养起健康基础上的美丽意识。

The teachers who participated in the activity expressed that this salon activity was novel in form and meaningful. It not only enabled everyone to understand knowledge about body management and healthy posture that they usually pay little attention to, and to recognize the close relationship between posture and health, and between exercise and mood, but also allowed them to master some simple and easy exercise methods suitable for themselves. They felt they had gained a lot and were very grateful to the Academy’s Trade Union and Women’s Work Committee for organizing such a thoughtful activity.

参加活动的老师们纷纷表示，这次沙龙活动形式新颖、有意义，不仅使大家了解了平常很少关注的形体管理和健康体态的知识，认识到体态与健康、运动与情绪之间的密切关系，而且掌握了一些适合自己的简单、易行的锻炼方式，感觉收获满满，非常感谢院工会、妇工委举办这么贴心的活动。
