摘      要：Health medicine has been the direction of the development of medicine. However, the definition of health defined by Western medicine and traditional medicine cannot completely cover the ful meaning of health. Therefore, we propose the new concept of health: health is a state of physical and mental harmony of different individuals in the life process with the environment, and good self-adaptive and regulation ability to natural and social environment. The new concept of health enriches the connotation of health defined by Western medicine and improves the understanding of health in the past, which provide the conceptual basis for further study on health medicine.
