Over the long course of time, it has been continuously refined, making significant contributions to the health, longevity, and happy lives of the Chinese nation. The health preservation works passed down through generations have become increasingly perfect, abundant, and profound. The health preservation theories and methods recorded in the historical documents have not only been inherited and developed in China but have also been valued and utilized by many countries around the world. The content of this book is extremely extensive, covering knowledge in various aspects such as mental and emotional well-being, diet and daily routines, as well as guiding and massage techniques.
Due to the vast number of ancient health preservation works passed down through the ages, it is difficult for people to read them all.

By carefully comparing different versions and choosing the best ones, adding annotations, and providing translations, readers can truly grasp the correct meaning of the original texts. This enables them to understand and master the correct theories and methods of health preservation and well-being.
