What are the basic characteristics of TCM health culture?

Heaven and man are one. /Man is an inseparable part of nature.

"Harmony between man and nature" means that the human body and the external natural environment are unified, that is, if heaven and earth are a big universe, then the human body is a small universe. So the change of heaven and earth will bring some influence to human body.

the banlance of yin and yang

"Balance of Yin and Yang" is also a major feature of TCM health preservation. Yin and Yang are two relative concepts. If the sky, sun, fire and man are yang, then the earth, moon, water and woman are yin. If initiative, extroversion, enthusiasm and sunshine are regarded as yang, then quietness, introversion, gloom and indifference are regarded as yin. Chinese medicine believes that people get sick because of the imbalance of yin and yang. Therefore, Chinese medicine attaches great importance to the balance of yin and yang.

Combination of form and spirit

The concepts of "unity of form and spirit" and "unity of body and mind" are interlinked, and people's spirit and body are considered as an organic whole. That is, the human body will affect the human spiritual world, and the human spiritual world will also affect the human body. Therefore, Chinese medicine attaches great importance to the relationship between nourishing spirit and form, and attaches importance to the functions of essence, qi and spirit. In short, Chinese medicine attaches importance to both physical exercise and maintenance, as well as spiritual cultivation and adjustment.
