Abstract

To fundamentally cope with the health crisis of the modern people, we need to turn to the ancient medical wisdom for the wise guidance. Eventually, the great wisdom of health and happiness lies in the consistently virtuous life. Living the virtuous life means following the laws of nature naturally. The virtuous consciousness of one's existence and self is closely linked with the consciousness of one's health. In addition, we also need to find the ontological significance of the healthy body to the spiritual fitness. Finally, in order to make sure about the close connection between the virtuous life and the healthy life, we need to find back the ancient wisdom of the state or horizon of life, which essentially determines the health of a person.
