Forms are mainly morphological structures, such as muscles, bones, five organs, five senses, skin, hair, blood vessels, etc. Spirits includes character, psychology, spirit, heartbeat, breathing, digestion and absorption, excretion, character characteristics, emotional response, sleep, etc. Hence the combination of forms and spirit is life. Harmony of forms and spirit is health. The opposite is disease.  Therefore, it is necessary to pay more attention to the maintenance from the inside to the outside when maintaining health and recuperating the physique. Distinguish from the inside out what kind of physique oneself belongs to, treat the symptoms and treat the root cause to regulate the body.
