care is frequent and the bad habits of confinement in childbirth appear in newspapers.This study sorts out the literature related to postpartum nursing in traditional Chinese medicine from the perspective of philology,and consults the relevant knowledge of folklore for the purpose of providing a theoretical reference for the development of modern postpartum care academic and industrial health.MethodWith the method of documentation combining with the knowledge of gynecology,Chinese materia medica and folklore,this study has combed the contents of postpartum medicine and food
