According to Chinese Confucianism, filial piety is the primary virtue, including a duty to keep our body healthy to fulfill the demands of justice. We should feel gratitude toward elders and toward all of nature. The other traditional Chinese religion was Taoism, which emphasized health promotion even more. Taoists have even believed that immortality could be possible if only human beings followed the true laws of nature. Taoism, in this way, joins forces with traditional Chinese medicine and its emphasis on attaining a proper balance among the various elements and energies in the human body.
