That great thinkers such as Kong Fu Zi (Confucius), Lao Zi, Meng Zi, and Zhuang Zi preceded the great classic of Chinese medicine, the Huang Di Nei Jing - 'The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine' - which was compiled between 300 and 100 BC.

But also the maintenance and improvement of vitality through specific exercies and techniques such as meditation, breathing, and massage.
