Chinese medicine pays attention to the four seasons of Yin and Yang, spring and summer, autumn harvest and winter storage, which is a natural law. People should conform to the laws of nature, for example, there should be a kind of hair growth in spring, slow down and get up early in the evening. Winter can't be too ostentatious and divergent, everything is going on in the dark. The concept of TCM health preservation varies from time to time, from place to place and from person to person.

Traditional Chinese medicine health care includes a series of health care principles, such as the unity of body and mind, the harmony of yin and yang, the adaptation to nature, the recuperation of diet, the prudence of life, the conditioning of viscera, the dredging of meridians, the restraint of nourishing essence, the benefit of qi and the regulation of breath, and the combination of static and dynamic, among which coordination and balance are its core ideas. When a person's body reaches a balance point, it is the healthiest and "disease prevention".

In terms of health care, the most important thing is to nourish the heart. "Being indifferent to my heart all my life" is a high spiritual realm. Everyone has joy, anger, worry, thinking, sadness, fear and surprise. This is a person's seven emotions, too much is too emotional. "People who often look at the world, those who are kind live long, those who are good in quality live long, those who are large in quantity live long, and those who are brief live long. Gai Si, the end of benevolence is also, so the benevolent is born. " Benevolence is to be gentle, kind, generous and humorous. Benevolence and virtue are the intrinsic elements of a person's health. Huangdi Neijing emphasizes "indifferent to nothingness" and says "indifferent to nothingness, conforming to the true qi, hiding the spirit inside, and preventing diseases". In short, it is to be "light".
