The academic research on "health" has made great achievements, but the fly in the ointment is that most of them regard it as a new term in modern times and focus on the emergence and introduction of the modern term "health" into China.
The significance of "health" in China's traditional society has not been comprehensively investigated. In fact, "hygiene" in traditional culture is the basis of modern and even modern concept of "hygiene".
When "health" is defined as "protecting its life", its concept is abstract and broad, including almost all aspects such as "health preservation", "disease prevention", "avoiding harm", "life preservation", "life extension" and "treatment". This usage is most widely used in traditional China.
Here are a few examples: "Generally speaking, taste is to nourish essence, valley is to nourish shape, medical stone is to treat diseases, with essence as the foundation, followed by nourishing shape, and treating diseases is the next step ... covering the health experience." "I know that I can take medicine after I get sick. If I can prevent myself before I get sick, Guo will be given a health-preserving skill when he meets a fairy."
Shennong wrote a letter to the very heavy people, the people born, the people in urgent need of health care, and the people who can't use drugs wrongly. "Parents' thoughts about wives, or from them, can't get it if they want to see it, and almost all people are worried and angry, and they are sick and safe, and they are healthy."
As the saying goes, "practicing medicine leads to life, while Confucianism leads to life". Therefore, "not a good doctor, but a good doctor" has become the pursuit of Confucian doctors since Fan Zhongyan.
Traditionally, doctors have the mission of "saving lives" and "saving the world", and kings have the kingly principle of "saving the world and saving people", so kings often use "medicine" to save the world, and doctors often use "surgery" to help the people. Therefore, "health" is often manifested as "saving the world and saving the people".
Here are a few examples: "When I come home, my children and grandchildren are happy, the hive is harvested, the birds are fed, the city dust is mixed, my medicine can is hung up, and the benevolence of hygiene is given to the state." "My ancestors set up too many hospitals, as well as peripheral county medicine, which is in the name of academics. Gai wants to gather people and learn, and if he tries it successfully, he will give one party health care, so he thinks it is Chinese medicine and benefits all the scholars in the world.
Then no one in the world will suffer from death, and jumping into the realm of benevolence and longevity is also one of the purposes of the benevolent government of the king. ""If the epidemic is prevalent, don't ask the young and the old, and each drink a cup, then all diseases will not be born, which is really a treasure for health. " "When taking care of patients and nursing patients, those who love others with kindness are not good doctors. Therefore, if they don't try to use them in time, they are willing to become good doctors and realize their ambitions. "
