碩士 === 真理大學 === 宗教學系碩士班 === 95 === Abstract Until now, “Keeping in good health” is always the popular topic. In the ancient times, most people who is good at regimen are centenarian. But it doesn’t now. This article take Sun Si-miao’s thought of the keeping in good health as the research subject, because he writes as his experience in his writings. Although "qian jin yao fang", "qian jin yi fang" are the clinical medical books, they may regard as a regimen guide in fact. The mainly edition of "qian jin yao fang" is Northern Sung folk edition which is not revised by the Office of Revising Medical Books of the Song dynasty, because it has preserved the more appearance of the original. The key principle of Sun’s keeping in good health lies in the corresponding of nature-and-man, especially in diagnosing and medicining. He thought that behavior, diet and sexual activity in the daily life is affect the psychological health most directly. He emphasized that keeping in good health is based on health preserving; and then correct diet concept may not only take care of health but cure diseases; it is an important function to have a son to carry on the family name for sexual activity. Besides, it can extend one's life span by practicing huan-ching pu-nao (making the Essence return to restore the brain). With practicing guiding art and massage, the discipline of the chi-touring and the interior empiricism, it may brisk up articulation and smooth over qi-blood. Further, it may change habitude. Moreover, Sun also pointed out how to set up the home environment, attended to the details of the life about the daily life. The purpose of keeping in good health lies in “the prevention”. While facing the danger of the air epidemic, Sun proposed manufacturing drugs, wearing powder, and the moxibustion to strengthen our resistance. Sun attached great importance to women and children's care especially. As woman is easier fall ill than man, in addition, catamenia, fetation let them hard to make recovery from illness. We should notice baby's care from fecundation period. As for the old who is weakling and not satisfied with all things, they had better forbear to do everything but do guiding art, the inhalation and exhalation of breathing methods so as to extend their life span. There are lots of Sun’s authors about fate, divination, astronomy, geography, etc. Obviously, his interpretation about keeping in good health is different from the modern age.
