ABSTRACT
"Healthy China 2030" states that health is a necessary requirement for all-round human development and a basic condition for economic and social development. Achieving national health and longevity is an important symbol of national prosperity and rejuvenation, and also the common aspiration of the people of all ethnic groups in China. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) health preservation has been fully integrated into the construction of "Healthy China", and the development of TCM health preservation culture and thought has a profound historical origin. Starting from the development of TCM health preservation culture thought and ethical principles, this paper analyzed the TCM health preservation thought contained in Master Lyu’s Spring and Autumn Annals, and further discussed and summarized the ethical principles contained in them, with a view to comprehensively and systematically promoting the development of TCM health preservation culture and providing a theoretical basis for people to use health preservation ethical principles to achieve physical fitness, disease prevention and longevity.
ABSTRACT
Health and longevity are the eternal themes of human pursuit. The pre-Qin period was the beginning of the development of traditional health preservation. Combined with archaeological findings and relevant literature and materials, this paper summarizes the behaviors and phenomena related to health preservation in the pre-Qin period from the three aspects, namely, exercise, diet, and environment and personal health. Through long-term investigation from the perspective of medical archaeology, the development of pre-Qin health concept can be roughly divided into three stages: prehistoric period; Xia, Shang, Western Zhou period; and Eastern Zhou dynasties. It is mainly manifested as from unconsciousness to consciousness and from simple experience accumulation stage to the exploration and summary of theory. It is closely related to the improvement of social productivity and the development of medicine and ancient philosophy, which is also an important feature and development law in the accumulation of Chinese traditional health culture. Judging from medical archaeology, the development of health preservation concept in the pre-Qin period is of great benefit for people to understand the origin of health preservation and its early development, correctly view health preservation, improve the concept of health preservation, promote the formation of a good lifestyle, and promote the development of public health undertakings.
ABSTRACT
Health-preservation thoughts of the four major schools (Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism and Medicine) have important reference values for the health preservation and health care industry. The core of health-preservation thought of the Taoism is taking mind training as the focus and physical exercise as the supplementary means, Taoism is nature-admiring, emphasizes the idea of natural laws and inaction and humanity follows natural laws, as well as advocates following nature's courses, realizing the passive inaction, and keeping calmness, also, it advocates the way of keeping good health through preserving vital essence, energy and mentality, in order to achieve the purpose of training vital essence into energy, training energy into mentality and maintaining complete vital essence, energy and vitality. 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. Based on the health-preservation thoughts of the four major schools, this paper summarizes the modern health-preservation guiding thoughts of dredging collaterals, nourishing essence, taking exercises and keeping mental calmness, in order to provide the theoretical guidance for traditional Chinese medicine health-preservation services.

ABSTRACT
O artigo pretende fomentar a discussão em torno das relações entre saúde e trabalho, a partir de um diagnóstico sobre as causas de afastamento de trabalhadores de uma empresa do setor siderúrgico de Minas Gerais. Seu objetivo principal foi o de explicitar as estratégias que permitem a alguns trabalhadores preservarem sua saúde, apesar de estarem inseridos em um contexto patogênico de trabalho. A entrevista em profundidade foi o instrumento adotado na coleta de dados. Os resultados apontaram que os trabalhadores que conseguiam manter, ao mesmo tempo seu emprego e sua saúde, construíram, através da experiência profissional acumulada ao longo de sua história laboral, estratégias de enfrentamento da "gestão pelo medo", adotada pela empresa após sua privatização. Observou-se que eles privilegiam a qualidade ao invés da quantidade, sendo a boa qualidade de seu trabalho uma forma de garantir seus empregos. De modo geral, eles não temem a demissão, o que representou também um importante elemento na preservação da saúde. O artigo conclui, alertando para os riscos de se cometer reducionismos como o de atribuir o adoecimento ou a preservação da saúde às características pessoais do trabalhador. Ele propõe que a organização do trabalho seja percebida como um espaço cujo papel é preponderante nos processos saúde/doença
