Abstract:
The trinity of physique-qi-spirit is a view of life in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) that integrates both theoretical interpretation and technical operation. Its connotation includes two aspects, the three elements of physique, qi, and spirit composing human life, and these three elements exist as an inseparable unity. Based on the concept of the trinity of physique-qi-spirit, this article explores three key points from the technical operation level, defining "qi" as an intangible, non-physical substance; briefly analyzing the mechanism of the trinity of physique-qi-spirit from the perspective of qi theory; and discussing the state of life optimization achieved through their integration. Understanding the connotation of the trinity of physique-qi-spirit from a technical operation level helps to maximize its unique advantages in self-health management.
