The Integration Path of Traditional Chinese Medicine Xuanfu and Taoist Health Preservation Theory from the Perspective of Traditional Culture

Abstract

The Xuanfu theory of traditional Chinese medicine and the health preservation philosophy of Taoism are both important components of Chinese traditional culture, rooted in the cultural core of "unity of heaven and man" and "gasification popularity", and have a natural theoretical compatibility. Traditional Chinese Medicine Xuanfu focuses on the core of "promoting circulation and opening and closing", covering the multidimensional pathways of human body shape, qi, and spirit and intention; Taoist health preservation adheres to the principles of "Dao follows nature" and "dual cultivation of life and soul", pursuing harmony between form and spirit.  This article starts from the foundation of traditional culture, sorts out the evolution and core connotation of the Xuanfu theory of traditional Chinese medicine, explains the core and practical methods of Taoist health preservation thought, analyzes the theoretical convergence points of the two in "Qi theory", "holistic view" and "form and spirit view", explores the three-dimensional integration path of "theoretical interpretation", "method complementarity" and "carrier integration", and reveals its practical value for contemporary health preservation and the significance of traditional cultural inheritance. Research has shown that the integration of the two is a return to the integrity of traditional culture and an innovative direction for the traditional Chinese medicine health preservation system, which can provide ideas for modern health management that combine cultural heritage and practical effectiveness.
