Through long-term development, Medicine has formed a relatively complete set of theoretical and systematic health-preservation methods. The holistic concept of Medicine emphasizes the uniformity among human, nature and society, considers human body as an organic whole, and advocates the health-preservation thoughts of living in harmony with nature, accommodating the four seasons, keeping good circulation of energy and blood, dredging collaterals, nourishing essence and replenishing energy, accumulating healthy energy and repelling pathogenic factors, maintaining the inseparability of the body and spirits, as well as taking proper exercises and keeping mental calmness.

ABSTRACT
Tu-Jia medicine is an important part of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).“San-Yuan doctrine”is the guiding ideology of Tu-Jia medicine, but there is no systematic exposition of its literature origin. This paper ar-gued that“San-Yuan doctrine”of Tu-Jia medicine was originated in the“San-Yuan”of Taoism. Its formation was closely related to the impact of Taoism and Tu-Jia culture, the understanding of human physiology and pathology in Tu-Jia medicine. This paper expounded the origin of“San-Yuan doctrine”, the guiding ideology of Tu-Jia medi-cine and Taoism culture through citing a number of theoretical bases. First of all, the concept of“San-Yuan”in Tu-Jia medicine originated in Taoism. Secondly, legends about the Lord Lao-Zi and Medicine King Bodhisattva in Tu-Jia medicine were closely related with Taoism. Moreover, there existed important links between Tu-Jia medicine and Taoist medicine. For example, both of them are aware of the importance of brain. The reason, I think, is firstly due to the penetration of Taoism in Tu-Jia culture. Taoism culture has a profound influence on Tu-Jia culture. Sec-ondly, the understanding of human physiology and disease in Tu-Jia medicine is closely related to“three”. There-fore, Tu-Jia medicine took“San-Yuan doctrine”as its own guiding ideology. It is of great significance to the study of ethnic minority medicine culture and inheriting its academic thoughts by the study of Tu-Jia medicine origin.
ABSTRACT
A man should control his ejaculation until a woman has an orgasm if the couple desires to achieve mutual orgasms during sexual intercourse. In male-oriented traditional societies, men have sexual relations without concerns about female sexuality. On the contrary, men's erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation have been regarded as detrimental to sexual relationships since female sexuality has gained similar importance to male sexuality in the context of gender equality. Thus, many men would like to sustain erections for as long as desired and regulate their ejaculation like the experts in the Tantric sex or Taoism. Sexual techniques or teachings of the ancient Tantric sex or Taoism may sound illogical from a modern medical perspective, but they have something to teach us, such as focusing on foreplay to achieve female orgasm. Several issues on men's erectile capability and ejaculation are discussed in this article, while reviewing a variety of viewpoints on male sexual functioning.
