What do you mean by "Dao governs the heart"?

"Tao lies in medical mind" is a concept to explain the concept of medical treatment. Among many medical ethics, "the Tao lies in the medical mind" is second to none. It is emphasized that the core value of medicine is to serve patients, and doctors should always keep a heart of sympathy and compassion, use their medical knowledge to help patients and eliminate their diseases and pains.

"Tao is in the heart of medicine" is also to commemorate the ancient physician Zhang Zhongjing. He is famous for Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Synopsis of the Golden Chamber. He is widely recognized not only in medical theory, but also in medical ethics. Zhang Zhongjing emphasized that doctors should get rid of all utilitarianism and interests, take "medical heart" as the foundation, give full play to the selfless spirit of medical staff, and actively devote themselves to the medical cause that benefits mankind.

In modern medicine, "Tao governs the mind" is still of great significance. Doctors should not only have solid medical knowledge and excellent medical skills, but also "treat". This means that doctors must always pay attention to patients' needs and feelings, pay attention to their diseases and pains, and try their best to help them recover. Only on the basis of constantly practicing the medical concept of "the Tao lies in the medical mind" can medicine truly become a neo-Confucianism serving people's health.
