“精”“气”“神”原是道家术语，古代道家认为精气神是人生命活动得以维持的三件宝,对三者的养护极为重视。现泛指一个人的精神状态。

“精,” ”气,” and “神” are Daoist terms. The ancient Daoists considered these concepts as the three key factors to keep the human body alive and healthy, so they put great emphasis on protecting them. Nowadays, “精,” “气,” and “神” refer to a person’s mental condition.
