摘要
Background:The historical trajectory of TCM appropriate technologies spans from their primordial origins in daily life practices,through the systematization of classical theoretical frameworks,to modern scientific validation and health management applications.Methods:Employing literature review and historical analysis methodologies,this study systematically traces and synthesizes the entire developmental pathway of TCM appropriate technologies.Results:The analysis reveals the intrinsic developmental patterns of these technologies and underscores their practical significance in“preventive treatment”and chronic condition management.A key exemplar of modern innovation is presented:the Hand Twelve Jing-Well Points Exercise.This non-invasive technique adapts the classical Jing-Well Points(jǐng xué)theory,extending its traditional functions in emergency care and brain health from a focus on“treating established diseases”to the paradigm of“preventive treatment.”Conclusion:This research provides a comprehensive case study for the systematic investigation of TCM appropriate technologies.It elucidates a model of inheritance and innovation within modern healthcare systems and offers a theoretical foundation for the promotion and cultural dissemination of these practices.
