The important principle of Health Preservation of TCM is Health Preservation based on constitution distinction(HPCD).On the basis of literature reseach, the paper discusses the significance, theoretical basis, and its proper application of HPCD.HPCD is based on inspection auscultation-and-olfaction,inquiry,pulse-taking and other means of checkup to collect the history and current status information in form and function of psychology and physiology on human body and by means of through analyzing, synthesizing to identify constitution state of human's zang-fu organs, qi-blood, yin and yang etc, it synthesizes and identifies the relevant actual multi-aspects living conditions with human constitution and then formulate and implement targeted Health Preservation programs. One of the basic principles of Tradition Chinese Medicine is people-oriented, adopting different ways to different people, Health Preservation based on constitution distinction as well.
