Judging from the essence of the book, the relationship between the physiological and anatomical parts of human viscera and meridians is closely related to the knowledge of health and longevity of traditional Chinese medicine, or it stems from the development of traditional Chinese medicine content. However, from the renaming and definition of the physiological functions of human viscera and the essentials of graphic exercises, its language characteristics and Taoist theory are more prominent.

The development of traditional Chinese medicine has a close relationship with Taoism in China in history, especially the theory and technology of TCM health preservation, which is closely related to Taoism's idea of immortality and practice methods. Taoist thought has a profound penetration into Huangdi Neijing, the theoretical source of traditional Chinese medicine, and Shennong Bencao Jing, a classic of traditional Chinese medicine. In other words, the Taoist thought of health and longevity has guided the development of Chinese medicine to a certain extent. For example, in the book "Su Wen in the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic", at the beginning, the Yellow Emperor asked Shi Tian: "I heard that people in ancient times were a hundred years old, but their actions were not bad; Today's people, who are over half a hundred years old, fail in sports. Why? " Qi Bo said to him, "Those who knew in ancient times, based on Yin and Yang, counted ... they died when they lived to 100. ...... ""An enlightened person can be old and full of figures. " "So, you can live a long life, never ending." Shennong's herbal classics are divided into three categories: upper, middle and lower. The top category says that taking medicine makes people strong and live longer, and taking medicine makes immortals immortal. It is almost entirely Taoist saying that taking medicine makes people healthy and live longer and even become immortal.

Famous Chinese medicine practitioners in ancient times included Jin, Hong Jing, Tang Sun Simiao and Shi Zhen. They are not only great doctors, but also great scholars. They are good at Taoist theory and have a lot of research on Taoist health care. They have not only made great achievements in the development of Chinese medicine, but also made indelible contributions to the integration of Taoist health preserving ideas and methods into Chinese medicine and the improvement of the health and longevity of Chinese medicine.

With the social progress and scientific development, Taoism pursues the goal of immortality. In the late Tang Dynasty, Song Dynasty and Ming Dynasty, its contents, human viscera, meridians and body position functions became increasingly mysterious, and a subtle style was developed, which summarized inscrutable characters. There were more and more different opinions on naming and theory, which made it more and more difficult for ordinary people to understand and master and became the patent of a few Taoists and Taoists. Under the influence of Taoist health-preserving thought, Chinese medicine gradually got rid of the restriction of cultivating immortals, fully absorbed and developed its ideas and technologies beneficial to human health and disease prevention, and became a more scientific representative of health-preserving nature.
