INTRODUCTION
TaoismthinksthatTaogeneratedeverything,includingmankind,theyallembodylawoftheTao.Hence,aatureandmaninonearethehighestprincipleofpreservingone’shealth,whichmeanslettingpeople’slivingactivitiesconformtothelawsofnature.Thehealthmaintenancemodernpeoplecallingmostlyrefertophysicalhealthwhilementalhealthhasbeenrelativelyneglected.Taoismregardspeopleasaunityof“form,qi,soul”and“sexandlife”,thesekindsoftheoriesseparatepeoplefromothernon-lifebody,plantsandanimals.Therefore,Taoismcultureadvocatesaccomplishmentof“form,qi,soul”aswellas“sexandlife”atthesametime,incontextofmodernsociety,itmeanstokeepphysicalandmentalhealthysimultaneously.DuetothatTaoistpracticetakeslivingalonglifewithgoodeyesandearsasthetopgoal,theypaymuchattentiontomaintenanceandextensionoflifeasmuchaspossible.Underbackgroundofthispracticingculture,Taoismhasaccumulatedvaluableexperienceandformedacompletetheoryandmethodforpreservingone’shealth.It’sthemostprominent,obviousandrepresentativealsooneofthesymbolstomakeitdifferentfromotherreligiouscultures,tillnowithasimportantinfluenceandmeaning.

1.1ConceptofCultureUndertaking
Hu(2010)holdstheopinionthatculturalundertakingmeanspeopletakeupsomeregularactivitieswithcertaintargets,scaleandimportantinfluenceonsocialdevelopmentincultureandart,pressandpublication,radio,filmandtelevision.Specifically,itincludessubjectivecontentsuchasthoughtsandtheories,valuecriterion,spiritformaswellasobjectiveelementsincludingcontentcarrier,transmissionmode,culturalfacilitiesandculturalorganizationandmanagementsystem.Generalizedculturalundertakingsincludingbothcultureindustryandthosenon-profitculturalundertakingsdidn’tmakeindustrialoperation.Narrowculturalundertakingmainlyreferstonon-profitculturalundertakings.Ithasthecharacteristicssuchaspublicity,commonweal,diversity,equalityandadvancement.
AccordingtoLi(2012),culturalundertakingmustbeakindofpublicwelfareundertakingsandneverforthepurposeofprofit.Takingupcultureconstruction,promotingthepolitical,spiritual,materialandecologicalcivilizationconstruction,meetingpeople’sgrowingdemandforcultureshouldbeundertakenbysomespecificdepartmentsandunits,it’sakindofindustriesbelongingtonationaleconomy.LiZhengyuangiveshisdefinitionasfollowing:

1.2DifferenceBetweenCulturalUndertakingandCultureIndustry
Theconceptsofculturalundertakingandculturalindustryareeasilyconfused,inviewofthis,it’snecessarytodistinguishthemfromdefinition,purpose,principleandoperationmodes.
Hu(2010)considersthatcultureindustryreferstothoseactivitiesprovidingculturalandentertainmentproductsandservicestopublicaswellasactivitiescollectionrelated.Fromproductionpurpose,culturalundertakingsgeneratepublicculturalproductsservingforcountryneedswhilecultureindustriesgeneratefor-profitcommodityandserveformarketneeds;fromsourceofcapital,capitalofculturalundertakingsisfromnationalfinanceandsocialsupportwhilecapitalofculturalindustryisfromenterprise;culturalundertakingsseekhighestsocialbenefitsasoperatingprinciplewhileculturalindustriestakehighesteconomicbenefitastopprinciple;fromtheregulationway,culturalundertakingsacceptdirectcontrolfromnationaladministrativecommandswhileculturalindustriesacceptindirectcontrolsuchasnationallawsandregulations,taxpolicyandpriceleverage. AccordingtoLi(2012),thedifferenceslieinthatwhetheritoperatesthroughthemarketmechanismorindustrialmode,whetherit’sfor-profitornot.Culturalinstitutionswon’trejectprofit-making,theyalsoneedtoimplementcostaccountinganddooperationmanagement.Therefore,it’sbettertouse“non-publicwelfare”todefine“cultureindustry”ratherthan“profit-making”.Tosumup,cultureindustryshouldhavefollowingdefinition:
Cultureindustryisakindof“non-publicwelfare”industrieswhichofferingculturalproductsproductionandculturalconsumptionandimplementingenterprisemanagement,itacceptsindirectcontrolinterventionfromadministrativedepartmentthroughlaw,taxationandpricelever.
Aboveall,inauthor’sopinion,culturalindustryiskindofindustryfor-profitandnon-publicwelfareoperationspursuingformaximizingeconomicefficiencyandbasedonproductionandconsumption.Thekeydifferenceslieatcharacteristicsof“for-profit”and“non-publicwelfare”,“operational”didn’tincludethem.
