According to the relationship between idioms and medicine, Professor Wen divides idioms into three categories. First, idioms and allusions directly derived from medicine, such as "six-pulse harmony", "dizziness", "ten diseases and nine pains", "hemiplegia", "terminal illness", "suit the remedy to the case" and "three-year love affair". The second is to use medical concepts to explain idioms and allusions of social phenomena, such as "going to a medical country", "being afraid of medical treatment", "colluding with others", "Gui Jiang's nature", "moaning without illness", "being thirsty for illness", "being pregnant in October", "being backward in life" and "smoking carbuncle". The third is to use idioms and allusions endowed with medical connotation by other disciplines, such as

It takes some effort to distinguish the third idiom. Professor Wen carefully screened and selected these idioms and idiom allusions that seem to have nothing to do with medicine in Health and Longevity, and put them into the circle of medical science one after another, enriching the connotation of medicine and greatly expanding the scope of medicine. Such as Hundred Flowers Blossom, Flowers in the River, Fog Leopard in Nanshan, Flying Sand and Rocks, Landslides and Earthquakes, etc. , which originally meant environment, now belongs to the category of environmental medicine; "Laughing and laughing", "furious" and "joy begets sorrow" belong to the category of psychiatry. Taking Qi Mei as an Example, A Heroine and Forgetting the Year Friends belong to the category of social medicine. "Smell the chicken dancing", "Walk slowly like a car" and "Climb the mountain on the Double Ninth Festival" belong to the field of sports medicine. "Xanadu", "forget all about sleeping and eating" and "rest easy" belong to the category of health care medicine; "Taigong fishing", "Banji theme fan" and "Gu Mo fragrance" belong to the category of leisure medicine; "Day and night" and "day and night" belong to the category of preventive medicine; "Zhang Chang thrush", "makeover" and "Gong Chu slender waist" belong to the category of cosmetic medicine. As Professor Wen said: "In the application field of idioms and allusions, the mutual penetration and extensive contact between medicine and society, society and medicine will be strengthened with the progress of medicine and society. Some idioms unrelated to medicine will be given medical-related missions, and some medical terms will become new idioms with broader meanings and enter a broader stage outside the medical field. " The author tries to construct a new concept of "generalized medicine" and "generalized health and longevity" through rational discussion on the application of idioms and allusions in real life, that is, physical health+psychological health+good social adaptation+moral health = health, which means that the author puts "healthy environment" and "healthy life" in the overall layout of the four parts of the book.
