With the continuous penetration of modern science and technology into medicine

medical staff and patients are calling more and more eagerly for the return of medical humanities

and narrative medicine comes into being. Traditional Chinese medicine contains the germination of narrative medicine

which is rich in medical humanistic thoughts. The connotation of the spirit of benevolence includes four levels: affinity

benevolence

love of things and benevolence. By listening to patients’ narratives

paying attention to neglected emotional factors

and reproducing what patients have said

narrative medicine aims to empathize with patients

establish correlation and belonging relationship

and pay attention to the relationship between people

which is in line with the humane spirit of traditional Chinese medicine. The origin of benevolence comes from the mutual understanding between people of the same kind

which is the idea of empathy emphasized by narrative medicine. On the other hand

the love spirit of self and others has a hierarchy and difference

reflecting the emotional transmission sequence of starting from oneself

and then caring for others from inside to outside

from near to far. The highest level of benevolence is "integrated benevolence" . The essence of the spirit of benevolence and the spirit of narrative medicine share some similarities. Narrative medicine has a rich philosophical theoretical basis

and the spirit of benevolence

based on the traditional wisdom of the Chinese nation

on the basis of the overall natural medical model and thousands of years of practical experience

will play an important guiding role in the localized development of narrative medicine in China.
