Abstract：The book of Zhuang Zi demonstrates that the Yin-yang theory is used to explain the nature and the thoughts of being indifferent to fame or gain and doing nothing are guided to preserve health.In addition,there are the thoughts of oneness of man and nature and treating diseases by tranquilizing mind in the book.Also some medical words have been recorded.For example,applying "disease" and "illness" to express the generic name of pathological changes,using "Jun Shou (cleft hands) "," Piao Ju (panaris)" and " Sou Gao (chyluria) " to express the disease‘ s names as well as the disease's syndromes and putting "the imbalance between Yin and Yang" and "internal thermal" into use to express the etiology and pathogenesis.To some extent,those medical words show the historic looking of medical development at that time.And there is a great value and significance for deeply researching the medical history during the pre-Qin period by systemizing and interpreting the medical words in the book.
