Abstract：Based on Wu Cangping’s proposition， this study further proposes that “the harmony of relationship determines health and longevity”， which implies that harmonious aging determines healthy aging. Specifically， the existence and quality of the relationships between heaven and man， between man and society， between man and me， and between man and himself determine the health and longevity of human beings. On the basis of “the benevolent live long”， “the harmonious live long” is put forward， which means appeasing one’s mind， nourishing one’s body， rejoicing in spirit， strengthening one’s aspirations， honoring virtue， and practicing the way. If the relationships (especially close and strong relationships) that dominate the life and living of the elderly give off strong positive energy， they can bring a sense of security， belonging and happiness to the elderly， and they lay the psychological， emotional and spiritual foundation that is necessary for a long and healthy life. Aging and “empty nest syndrome” will become a great challenge for the aging Chinese. Health does not mean longevity， and suffering from illness does not mean short life. To build intimate， family and social relationships in old age with the principle of harmony， and let the elderly live in a loving， caring and warm family and society is undoubtedly the “dream of old age” for the elderly in China.
