After examining the viewpoints of the mental cultivation of The yellow Emperor¡¯s Internal Bible(Ò®ÌÓ), from the viewpoints of The yellow Emperor¡¯s Internal Bible, I studied the principles and methods of the mental cultivation(ïñãêå×ßæ) which the Taoism School, the Confusian School and the past physicians proposed. And I studied the methods of mental cultivation of the child, the woman and the old by the differences of ages and sex. At the subject of health preservation(å×ßæùÊ) on the basis of concept of relevant adaptation of man to nature(ô¸ìÑßÓëëÞÖßÌ), the mental cultivation(ïñãêå×ßæ) was regard more important than the body cultivation(ë¿ô÷å×ßæ) and it was considered that the success of health preservation depended on the state of mind. the basic principles of the mental cultivation is achivement of the mental internal keeping(ïñãêÒ®áú) through the state of peace and tranquility without avarice and wild fancy(Ò¸Ó¼úÈÙí). The ways of mental cultivation of the Taoism School, the Confusian School and the past physicians were in the category of The yellow Emperor¡¯s Internal Bible. 4. In the previous Jin dynasty(à»òÚãÁÓÛ), the important theoretical bases and practices to mental cultivation were made. In the Han dynasty(ùÓãÁÓÛ), the physicians attached importance to mental treaments. During the time from Sui dynasty to Tang Dynasty(âÉÓÐãÁÓÛ), the mental cultivation was made perfect theoretically. During the Period from Song dynasty to Yuan Dynasty(áäêªãÁÓÛ), Many methods of mental cultivation were newly created. During the Ming and the Qing Dynasties(Ù¥ôèãÁÓÛ), the theory of health preservation and the methods of mental treaments were embodied. 5. Studying the mental cultivation by the differences of ages, the childhood(á³ä®Ñ¢) is the spring of life. So the mental cultivation of this period put importance to the cultivation of Sh ng(å×ßæ). And the youth(ôìÒ´Ñ¢) is the summer of life. So the mental cultivation of this period pill importance to the cultivation of Ch¡¯ang(å×íþ). And the middle age(ñéÒ´Ñ¢) is the autumn of life. So the mental cultivation of this period put imporance to the cultivation of Shou(å×â¥). And the old age(ÒÇÒ´Ñ¢) is the winter of life. So the mental cultivation of this period put importance to the cultivation of Tsang(å×íú). Studying the mental cultivation by the differences of sex, the man must do the mental cultivation through the dynamic nature(àõï×) of Yang(åÕ) and the woman must do the mental cultivation through the static nature of Yin(ëä).
