After thousands of years of practice, China's traditional health preserving theory has gradually formed a systematic and complete theoretical system. In this theoretical system, China's traditional philosophy of Yin-Yang and Five Elements, Qi monism and holism are the leading ideas, and the theory of essence and qi and the theory of zang-fu organs and meridians are the theoretical basis, and to some extent, the new ideas and contents of modern medicine, physiology, sports training and other related disciplines are integrated, thus forming the theoretical framework of China's traditional health preservation.

China's ancient health-preserving thought and theoretical model were conceived in the ancient cultural matrix of China, closely related to the ancient way of thinking and philosophical concepts, and influenced by hundred schools of thought, such as Taoism, Confucianism and doctors, and formed the concept of attaching importance to human life, the theory of vitality, the holistic view of harmony between man and nature, the integration of body and mind, and the life view of dual cultivation of body and mind.
