Dr. Chen believes that traditional health and rehabilitation medicine and geriatrics have an inseparable relationship in Chinese culture. The word “health” has two meanings in ancient Chinese literature: one is to take care of the body and mind to increase life span, and the other is to serve the parents so that they are physically and mentally healthy to take care of themselves. Accordingly, the content of Chinese health care can be divided into two categories: general health care and prevention and treatment of old age diseases. Chinese health care is an important part of traditional Chinese culture, and naturally, the imprint of the Chinese national spirit can be seen everywhere. From the number of existing Chinese traditional health care literature, there are more than 300 monographs and thousands of volumes. The content of health science is not only found in ancient medical texts, but also in literature, history, philosophy and Confucian, Taoist and Buddhist texts. It can be said that no other nation in the world has ever left such a rich literature on health and wellness for future generations, showing such a strong sense of “rebirth” or “precious life” as our Chinese nation. In order to preserve and discover this cultural heritage and to better serve contemporary health care for all, in 1992, Chen was invited by Gansu People’s Publishing House to organize relevant experts nationwide to compile a complete set of “Chinese Health Literature”. This is a new type of health care ancient books (punctuation, proofreading, annotation, collection of notes) book, from the genre and content, seems to be regarded as an extension or sister of the aforementioned “Chinese traditional geriatric medicine literature essence”. The scope of the collected literature ranges from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States to the period before the founding of New China. It is a collection of the works of scholars of the pre-Qin dynasty, the treatises of famous scholars of the Han and Jin dynasties, the aphorisms of sages of the Tang and Song dynasties, and the experiences of scholars of the Ming and Qing dynasties and modern times. It is a voluminous collection of more than 15 million words, which can be regarded as a comprehensive collection of the essence of Chinese health care literature through the ages, and reflects in a more practical way the magnitude and vastness of China’s knowledge in this field. In the preface of “The Complete Book of Chinese Health Care Literature”, he talked about his own views, the characteristics of traditional Chinese health care are three: First, the virtue of nurturing sex. The virtuous live long, in the Chinese traditional culture has long formed a consensus. Confucius clearly proposed that “those who are benevolent live long” (Liji? The “benevolence” here, in addition to the political content, mainly refers to the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation, such as generosity, love, trustworthiness, diligence, frugality, loyalty and filial piety. Laozi regarded charity, frugality and not being the first in the world as the three valuable spiritual assets of life (Laozi? Tao Te Ching), and similarly valued moral cultivation. Zhuangzi’s famous essay on health and wellness, “The Master of Health and Wellness”, also emphasizes the importance of spiritual life. The search for the “life” (i.e., spirit) of nourishment is the highest level for human beings to shape, perfect and extend themselves. In the ancient literature, “nourishing sex” is almost synonymous with nourishing life, and the so-called “nourishing life” is better than nourishing sex. The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine, when analyzing the reasons for the longevity of centenarians, points out that “those who can live for a hundred years without decaying in their movements are those whose virtues are not in danger.” This viewpoint of attaching importance to the relationship between moral cultivation and healthy longevity is compatible with the modern medical development model and the new concept of health. The second is the moderate reconciliation. It pursues the multi-directional coordination of yin and yang, qi and blood, and movement of the person, rather than local anatomy or a purely physiological effect of a particular physiology. For example, the form and the spirit together, the combination of movement and stillness, the unity of essence, qi and spirit, the unity of heaven and man, diet and living must be done with moderation and regularity. Tao Hongjing, a Taoist and medical doctor of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, said, “Those who can live in harmony will live long.” (Nourishing Life Record) The actual situation is that those who insist on practicing boxing, sword dancing and other traditional health care techniques, often have a healthy life, while professional athletes who specialize in physical exercise, competitive sports, longevity is not much, it seems to indicate the advantages of this unity of form and spirit, the combination of static and dynamic health care techniques. Third is to cultivate the body and nourish the qi. This is also the difference between Chinese health science and Western health regimen, not only Confucianism, Taoism, medicine, and even Buddhism, which was introduced to China in the early Han Dynasty, attach great importance to the cultivation of Qi. Qi, in ancient China, is a simple understanding of natural phenomena, and it is believed that Qi is the most basic substance that constitutes the world, and that everything in the universe, including human beings, is created by the movement of Qi. Therefore, the important purpose of health care is how to maintain the body’s qi. Lao Tzu said, “There is no better way to treat people than to be stingy.” (Tao Te Ching) “To be stingy” means to be stingy with one’s own inherent qi and blood, and to minimize depletion. One of the methods is to exhale the old and to invigorate the new through the art of channeling, and to cultivate positive qi with spiritual will as the leading force; and the Buddhist method of nourishing qi, in which “all thoughts are empty”, is different from Taoism and Confucianism. The Buddhist method of nourishing qi, which is “empty of all thoughts”, is different from the Taoist and Confucian methods. The positive qi includes the body’s anti-disease, regulatory and compensatory functions. From the point of view of the function of the internal organs, and focus on the spleen and kidneys, through abstinence, exercise, acupuncture, massage, food therapy and medicine measures to regulate and support the various aspects. Rehabilitation medicine is an emerging comprehensive discipline different from preventive medicine and therapeutic medicine. It was in the early 1980s that modern rehabilitation medicine emerged in China. In the winter of 1984, China’s first national academic conference on rehabilitation medicine was held in Shijiazhuang, during which the China Rehabilitation Medicine Research Association was formally established, along with the establishment of During the conference, the Chinese Society of Rehabilitation Medicine was formally established, and at the same time, a special committee of Chinese medicine and combined Chinese and Western medicine on rehabilitation medicine was set up. During the discussion, the experts at the conference agreed that the theoretical and practical experience of China’s traditional medicine on rehabilitation medicine is very rich and is an important part of the development of rehabilitation medicine with Chinese characteristics, and suggested organizing relevant domestic scholars to compile a “Chinese Traditional Rehabilitation Medicine” to inherit, organize and carry forward China’s excellent rehabilitation academic ideas and proven rehabilitation techniques for the people’s health care. He accepted the commission of the conference and took the lead in editing the first Chinese book “Chinese Traditional Rehabilitation Medicine”, which was published by People’s Health Publishing House. The book is based on the outline of modern medical pathology and focuses on the rehabilitation of chronic diseases, recovery period of certain diseases, physical disabilities, functional disorders, mental disorders and geriatric diseases. It not only reflects the level of traditional rehabilitation medicine in China, but also absorbs the clinical and experimental progress of applying modern science including modern medical knowledge and methods to study rehabilitation medicine, which is practical and unique. After its publication, the book was well received by all circles. In order to promote the development of the discipline of TCM rehabilitation, Chen has written an article entitled “Overview of TCM Rehabilitation”, which gives an overview of the theoretical system, main contents and clinical scope of TCM rehabilitation, and especially points out the wide application and good efficacy of traditional rehabilitation therapy in tumor, cardiovascular diseases and paralysis diseases. In addition, the study of function first in rehabilitation medicine, especially the quality of life of patients in the rehabilitation period, was not yet available in China in previous years. Based on foreign literature, he proposed the idea of conducting research on quality of life in rehabilitation with Chinese characteristics. He believes that the quality of life scales, which are widely used in clinical practice, are mostly developed by Westerners and may not be suitable for China due to the differences in race, culture and social living environment. When learning from foreign experience, we should combine the characteristics of our own nation including Chinese medicine to compile and design a quality of life scale that fits our cultural backdrop and social life situation. On the one hand, it can be applied to medical clinical and rehabilitation practice, as one of the important bases for reversing treatment or rehabilitation methods, assessing treatment and rehabilitation effects, and evaluating the efficacy of new drugs; on the other hand, since the scale reflects to a certain extent the idea of Chinese medicine on evidence-based treatment, it will also dynamically reflect the changes of evidence and disease in Chinese medicine, improve the evaluation index of prognosis of diseases in Chinese medicine, and make the determination of efficacy of Chinese medicine and Chinese and Western medicine It will also reflect the dynamic changes of TCM evidence and disease, improve the evaluation index of TCM on disease prognosis, and make the determination of efficacy of TCM and TCM more objective and scientific.
