Good Life and Good Death: Palliative Pursuit of Chinese Life Culture

Chinese traditional life culture, based on the unity of life and death, has a set of cultural narrative of "Peace" at the end of life. In terms of the fundamental concept, it argues that "Death" is more important than "Health care", and "Good death" is the pursuit of human happiness. In terms of the strategic path, it advocates to abide by the "Etiquette system" and specially designs a set of deathbed etiquette to help people reach a "Good end". In terms of the goal value, it states that "Knowing life" helps "Knowing death" and living well can lead to dying well, thus realizing the immortality of life value. In terms of spiritual beliefs, it emphasizes the acceptance of "Life and death are destined", and transforms "Life limit" into "Mission", thus sublimating the recognition of "Destiny" and accepting death in the belief that "Life never ends".
