China is one of the earliest countries where medical culture originated. From the dawn of civilization shining on the land of China, clusters of cultural bonfires spread throughout the land China, connecting from point to surface, forming a prairie fire and gradually melting into the glory of the civilization era. From then on, the civilization history of Chinese medicine began.

Compared to the Western medical philosophy of treating the head with headaches and treating the foot with foot pain. Chinese medicine in China emphasizes the importance of "treating diseases before they occur" and "treating existing diseases", that is, "preventing and treating diseases without them, and treating them with them. 'Treatment' means treatment. The main idea of "prevention" in traditional Chinese medicine is to prevent diseases before they occur and to prevent changes immediately. The concept of "treating illness before it is cured" originated from the "Emperor's Inner Canon - Su Wen", which states: "A sage who does not treat illness before it is cured, and who does not treat chaos before it is cured, is called 'also'. When a man's illness is cured, he will be treated with medicine, and when chaos is cured, he will be treated. For example, it is still too late to pierce a well with longing and cast a cone with fighting. 'This emphasizes the importance of treating illness before it is both positive and negative. Later generations of physicians have continuously exerted this concept, enriching the connotation of traditional Chinese medicine's treatment of diseases before onset, and practicing it in clinical practice to guide treatment and health preservation, deepening the concept of treating diseases before onset into the hearts of the people, and continue spreading it in practice. It is one of the uniquely influential theories in the theoretical system of traditional Chinese medicine.

As doctors, it is their responsibility to rescue the suffering and illness of the world. The concept of "treating existing diseases" in traditional Chinese medicine precisely reflects the common phenomenon of seeking medical treatment nowadays. Doctors do their best to relieve patients' pain, which is the first level that doctors reach and is a necessary means of relieving pain. However, the second realm of traditional Chinese medicine is "treating before getting sick", which means preventing and treating diseases before getting sick. It allows patients to avoid the torment of illness and maintain a healthy state. This is the highest realm of doctors and the highest ideal in the field of traditional Chinese medicine - "there is no disease in the world". Chinese medicine gathers the essence of the dual realm, uses Chinese herbal medicine, diet therapy, and health care products to prevent and treat diseases, and truly achieves "treating diseases with diseases, preventing diseases without diseases".

In addition, traditional Chinese medicine believes that if the human body wants to keep healthy, it should recuperate the body before the occurrence of diseases, that is, health preservation should be based on absorption and supplemented by treatment. But while maintaining health, if a disorder or evil energy is entering the body that cannot achieve the state of "harmony between heaven and man", treatment methods must be taken to treat the existing disease, rather than using preventive methods. Therefore, one prevention and one treatment are two aspects of the Chinese medical civilization and health treasures, and the two complement each other. We have reason to believe that with the birth of modern traditional Chinese medicine theory and the development of science and technology, traditional Chinese medicine will undoubtedly make greater contributions to human health.
