Abstract:
The disabled body is a common narrative element in literature, with profound implications and rich topic extension. "Tuina" and "Shouhuo" approach from the unique perspective of " body availability ", and under the potential influence of personal concept intervention, subjective spiritual constraints, and social context, they respectively present two types of body utilization patterns ? “compensating for disability”and “amplifying disability”. Behind the utilization pattern of the residual body, the reverse charm of the body's ability to overcome pathological difficulties and unleash life energy is demonstrated.
