Abstract

The theory of Zhi in traditional Chinese medicine covers a wide range of content levels. The ancient people's understanding of Zhi has a cross disciplinary understanding between philosophical and medical fields. If Zhi is only related to the theory of visceral manifestation and emotional theory in traditional Chinese medicine, it is difficult to fully explain its specific meaning. Since the Huangdi Neijing, the state of Zhi can be used as an evaluation criterion to diagnose a person's health and the degree of illness. Throughout history, medical practitioners have attached great importance to the diagnosis and health preservation of Zhi. Modern scholars have also explored it from multiple perspectives, but there is still a lack of clear understanding of the definition of Zhi. It is necessary to further explore, organize and summarize the research on Zhi in modern times.
