Abstract:
The view of life in Huang Di Nei Jing discusses the essence of human life by exploring the origin, structure and existence of human life, elucidates the overall quality of human life by observing the state and length of human life, and summarizes the characteristics of human life by analyzing the commonalities and unique characteristics of human life with other lives. On the one hand, this life view respects the objectivity and regularity of life, and enabling people to calmly face death but actively seeking higher possibilities of life, which reflects the reasonable self-awareness of ancient doctors towards human life. On the other hand, it affirms the intrinsic value of life, advocates meeting the subjective value of life and pursuing the external value of life, and expresses the self-pursuit of exploring the existence value of human life, which makes the life view in Huang Di Nei Jing quite humanistic. This humanistic life view has important reference significance for modern medical practice. Reasonable absorbing the humanistic spirit of the life view in Huang Di Nei Jing is conducive to the return of modern medicine to the medical essence of saving the dying and healing the wounded, as well as the establishment of the medical value of people-oriented.
