Abstract:
The culture of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)health preservation originates from traditional Chinese philosophical thought.The traditional concepts,such as the human-oriented view of valuing life,the view of doctors'benevolence,the philosophical view of"the unity of heaven and humanity,and the Tao follows nature,"and the principles of life containing the theory of essence-Qi-spirit,Yin-Yang,and five elements,constitute the bioethical basis of TCM health preservation,guiding the behaviors and methods of TCM in the practice of disease treatment and health preservation.By summarizing the above ethical concepts,tracing their theoretical origins,and exploring their practical significance in health preservation in modern society,this paper aimed to promote the development of the ethical concepts of TCM health preservation and even global bioethics more comprehensively and systematically,assist individuals in guiding their health behaviors with the bioethical concepts of TCM health preservation,and achieving the goal of comprehensive physical and mental health and prolonging life.
