Some text from Tai Shang nine points heart inscription classic.

以身为国,以气为民,以心为帝王,
The body is the nation,
The breath is the people,
The mind is the emperor.
帝王爱民而民自安。
When the emperor loves the people, the people will be at peace.
帝正者,心不乱也,心不乱则气自调,
If the emperor is upright, the mind will not be wild, the mind not being wild means the breath will adjust itself.
气调则神和,神和则精悦,精悦则身安泰,此乃富国安民鍊气之法也
The breath adjusting itself means the spirit will be harmonious, the spirit being harmonious means the essence will be delighted. The essence being delighted means the body will be quiet and stable. This is how to make the nation rich and people calm through the practice of refining the breath.
