Historical Traceability and Value of Physical Health Preservation

For thousands of years, emperors and generals in China pursued immortality and developed a unique traditional medical technology in China, which is the theory of traditional Chinese medicine that we see now. This theory holds that the human body is a small universe, which is closely related to everything in nature. In addition, it also established the theory of yin and yang, the theory of five elements, the theory of Tibetan images, the theory of the unity of man and nature and the theory of the unity of form and spirit. However, at the end of the 20th century and the beginning of this century, when the eastern and western cultures just began to merge, most people thought that these theories had no scientific basis and even described them as metaphysics. With the development of scientific information and network technology, people have gradually discovered the great value of these theories. In the field of medicine, it is easier to understand and accept the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the historical crystallization of ancient medicine in China, to explain the irregular changes of the human body. As an interdisciplinary subject between Chinese traditional medicine and traditional sports, traditional physical health preservation is a knowledge system of a series of principles and methods about how people in China and the world can maintain their body and mind, prevent and treat diseases before they get sick, and live a long and healthy life.

In the new century, this is an important task for us to think, undertake and solve, and it is also our unshirkable responsibility and obligation to discard the dross, retain the truth, excavate and sort out, inherit the essence, and develop and innovate on the basis of Scientific Outlook on Development. Historical experience has proved that the prosperity of a country and the rejuvenation of a nation depend on the quality of the nation, and the important cornerstone of the national quality is the healthy physique of the people. Only by constantly enhancing the people's healthy physique can we continuously improve the national quality. Therefore, popularizing health preservation methods is no longer a problem of the health and longevity of the elderly, but a major event related to the rejuvenation of the whole nation and the prosperity of the country.
