Abstract: The objective principles of shiology are mainly reflected in three fields as food acquisition, eaters' health and shiance order. Most of the objective principles in the field of food acquisition have been revealed by agronomy and foodstuff science. This research mainly focuses on 10 principles in the field of eaters' health and shiance order and in addition, there are also five lemmas that extend from the above principles. The 10 principles are the core theory of the shiology knowledge system, which play an important role in the objective principles revealed by human beings and constitute one of the basic principles of human civilization. Compared with the scientific principles of mathematics, physics, chemistry and economics, the principles of shiology have three characteristics as popularity, practicability and survivability. The principles of shiology in the field of eaters' health are all around us, and everyone can understand and master them. Using the principles of shiology can improve the healthy life span of 8 billion people. The principles of shiology in the field of shiance order is an important tool of social governance, which can reduce human social conflicts, reduce social involution, improve overall efficiency of social operation, and maintain the sustainable development of human beings.

Keywords: principle of shiology, rule, shiance, eater, eating matter, eatology

As the basic and essential laws, principles contribute to recognizing the objective world. And it is called science by revealing objective principles in different disciplines. In the past 200 years, different disciplines had revealed kinds of objective principles from various dimensions, and they accelerated greatly the processes of human cognitions of the objective world.

The objective principles of shiology are mainly reflected in three areas as food acquisition, eaters' health and shiance order. Most of the objective principles in the field of food acquisition have been revealed by agronomy and foodstuff science. This paper mainly focuses on 10 principles in the field of eaters' health and shiance order. The principles of shiology are the principles of shiance, and the principles of eatology are the principles of eating matters. Shiance includes eating matters, the principles of shiology include the principles of eatology. The principles of shiology are the important contents of the shiology scientific system. The principles of shiology are effective tools to solve human shiance issues, which benefit every person on earth in the most direct, vivid and popular ways.

How do Humans Reveal Objective Principles

The method of revealing shiance principles is consistent with the method of recognizing the objective world.

A few basic concepts

To expound the principles of shiology, clarifying the connotation and extension of shiology concepts is the premise of the discussion and revelation on the principles of shiology.

Food is interpreted as edible substances in Modern Chinese Dictionary. Human food has always consisted of four main groups, namely plants, animals, microorganisms and minerals. In recent 200 years, "synthetic" entered the human food chain and became the fifth type of human food, called "synthetic food" (Liu, 2020). Food includes water, grain, vegetables, fruits, meat and eggs, drinks, oral drugs and other substances.

Eater is the subject of shiance, which is defined as "humans from the perspective of eating demands", not humans from the full perspective. Eaters are human beings who are known from the perspective of eating, and they are human beings from the perspective of eating, individual survival, health, group harmony, and population sustainability. It is a dimension of recognizing the nature of human beings and the core of studying shiance issues.

Shiance is defined as "the phenomenon and activities of obtaining and using food by humans" (Liu, 2020). Shiance not only includes eating, drinking, survival, health, and other matters, but also includes food planting, breeding, cooking, fermentation, and also includes the maintenance of food order involved in the law, economy, administration, education, and other things. Judging from the human history, the history of shiance is far more than 5.5 million years, and it can be proved that shiance is before civilization. Shiance is the most important thing for human survival. In the past, shiance was taken as a narrow and small matter, and the meaning of shiance and eating matter is confused.

Shiology is defined as "the body of knowledge that reveals the human objective laws of shiance". Shiology is a knowledge system that studies and solves the issues of human shiance; shiology is a science that studies the relationship and law between human and food; shiology is a knowledge system that studies the occurrence, development and law of human shiance behavior, and studies the causal relationship between human eating behavior and eating problem. It is a knowledge system to study and inherit the correct shiance behavior of human beings, correct inappropriate shiance behavior, and maintain sustainable development (Liu, 2023). Shiology chooses a larger concept—shiance to look at the problems of human eating matters out of the traditional perspective of agriculture, grain, food, and nutrition.

In addition to these basic concepts of shiology, there are also related concepts such as eating matter and eatology that are equally important for understanding shiology theory, as described by Liu (2020).

Objective laws having been revealed by human beings

Human's quest to reveal objective principles has a long history and its pace has never stopped. In modern times, the pace of revealing objective principles has been greatly accelerated. Science is a knowledge system that reveals objective principles by discipline and is an excellent achievement of human cognition of the objective world. According to the Classification and Code of Disciplines, there are currently 62 firstlevel disciplines, 676 second-level disciplines and 2 382 third-level disciplines (General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the People's Republic of China, Standardization Administration of the People's Republic of China, 2009). The sum of these scientific systems reflects the depth and breadth of today's human cognition of the objective world. From different perspectives, different disciplines recognize the objective world and discover the objective principles in different fields. Taking the following objective principles in the fields of physics, chemistry, mathematics, and economics to better understand the elaboration of the principles of shiology.

The objective principles revealed by physics mainly focus on the fields of material motion and basic structure of matter. For example, Newton's First Law (the Law of Inertia) states that "all bodies, when subjected to no external force, always remain at rest or in uniform linear motion". It reveals the relationship between force and motion at the macro level, so that people can accurately grasp force and its role, realize the manufacture of machinery,promote the industrial revolution, and lead to the rapid progress of modernization (Newton, 2002).

The objective principles revealed by chemistry are mainly concentrated in the fields of composition, structure, properties and changes of matter. For example, the Law of Conservation of Charge states that "the total positive charge of the cation in solution is equal to the total negative charge of the anion. That is, the net charge number does not change before or after a chemical reaction involving ions". The application of chemical principles is closely related to human daily life and has made great contributions to improving the quality of human life. The objective principles revealed by mathematics are mainly concentrated in areas, such as quantitative relations and spatial forms. For example, as stated in the parallel axiom of Euclidean geometry, "there is the only one line parallel to the known line at a point outside the know line" (Playfair and Edin, 1804). Mathematical principles have a high degree of abstraction, rigorous logic and a wide range of applicability. The objective principles revealed by economics are mainly concentrated in the fields of production, exchange, distribution and consumption of social goods. For example, one of the Ten Economic Principles states that "people face trade-offs", which is typically noted as "there is no free lunch". Economic principles play a positive role in promoting social development (Mankiw, 2000).

The principles of each discipline listed above are the core contents supporting each discipline system. Although they observe different dimensions, focus on different objects, and express in different ways, they have a common attribute, that is, they reveal objective laws, they can help people solve problems, and the principles of shiology also need to have this attribute.

Revealing the objective principles of human shiance

Modern science is highly developed nowadays, but why don't humans live as long as mammals should? Humans, as intelligent humans famous for their large brain capacity, why are there 800 million people in the state of starvation? Why do 2 billion people get chronic diseases from eating? Why are billions of people at the risk of food insecurity? Why do social conflicts over food resources continue? As a link in the food chain, why should human beings interfere with the ecology more and more, to threaten their own survival and continuation? The long-term existence of these problems all points to whether the objective principles have not been revealed. Only by revealing, mastering and utilizing the shiance principles can solve these issues effectively and continuously and build a harmonious world order that can last a hundred years or a thousand years.

The shiology principles in the field of eaters' health include the principles of "food brain as the king", "different people eat differently", "eating can cause disease", "eating can cure disease", and "aesthetics of five senses". The above principles reveal the essential relationship among food, eating methods and individual survival and health. None of these principles may sound unfamiliar, but their value has never been seriously considered. By understanding these common viewpoints to the height of the basic law of eating matter, grasping them to the height of shiology principles and using them actively and consciously, everyone's healthy life will be extended.

The principles of shiology in shiance order field include "shiance breeds civilization", "shiance triangle", "shiance priority", "shiance behavior follows food matrix and food conversion", and "shiance order is the basis of human social order". These principles are the basic laws of human society and reveal the essential relationship among shiance and ecology, civilization and society. They are the major discoveries of human cognition of the objective world and provide theoretical support for unraveling the problems of human civilization progress, social order and the sustainable development. Following the above shiology principles is the cornerstone of human civilization and the foundation of human social order. Shiance order is the basis of social order. If these principles are not followed, the society will not be stable, and civilization will not be sustainable.

The principles of shiology are different from the principles of physics, chemistry, mathematics, and economics, and have three obvious characteristics. The first one is its popularity. The principles of shiology are not abstruse and difficult to understand. There are no abstract formulas or obscure terms. The contents of the principles of food are all around the daily life. The principles of shiology are not strange, just like the description of a Chinese poem "we cannot make the true face of the mountain, for we are lost in the mountain". The second one is its practicality. The principles of shiology can solve personal problems. The principles of shiology mean that food can cause disease and can cure disease. Grasping the principles can achieve health and longevity through eating. And the principles of shiology mean social problems. The principles of shiology deeply expound the essential relationship between shiance and civilization, and the application of its principles can promote the harmonious development of human society. The third one is its survivability. The principles of shiology are not only related to the survival and health of each person, but also to the survival and development of the human population. Making good use of the principles of shiology can improve the quality of human life and support the sustainable development of human beings. Generally speaking, the principles of shiology are an important scientific discovery in the development process of human civilization.

Principles of Shiology in the Field of Eaters' Health

Eater is defined as "people and humans from the perspective of eating". Eating matter is a part of shiance, which is the behavior and result of people's intake of food. Eating matter is the basis of a person's survival, and the basis of health. Man cannot do without eating matter, without eating matter, there is no life. Eating matter determines people's survival, determines people's quality of life, and to a large extent determines people's health and longevity. There is an inherent objective law between eating matter and human life. Eating has two sides to health that eating can make people healthy and longevity, but also can cause diseases and death. Examining the history of human eating matter, if the objective law of eating matter is followed, people will be healthy and longevity. However, if it is violated, there will be health problems, such as the internal body unbalance abnormal body state and even diseases.

Perhaps because of the complexity of individual differences, few people have explored the general rules in depth. In other words, the contents of the laws that have been expressed by predecessors have not attracted attentions, so that people see them every day and ignore them every day. Health is the eternal pursuit of human beings, and the principles of shiology in the field of eaters' health are linked to the rise and fall of the health of 8 billion people and their families around the world. By understanding the two sides of eating matters and grasping the objective law of eating matters, people will grasp the initiative of health.

As the relationships between shiance and eating matter, shiology and eatology are general, the following five principles can be all called the principles of eating matter and shiance; they also can be called the shiology principles and eatology principles. They are the laws of survival, which are closely related to everyone's health and objectively regulate the health and longevity of each individual.

Principle of "body transformed from food"

The principle of "body transformed from food" states that "human body is transformed from food, which includes bones, blood, organs, muscles, brain, skin, hair, and so on. It may be said that without food there is no body, and without food there is no life. The principle of "body transformed from food" reveals the essential relationship between food and body.

Food is the basis of human body composition and the premise of human survival. Without food there is no life, life cannot be separated from food. A conclusion can be draw that human body is transformed from food, which is the objective law of material form transformation between food and human body. In the past, it was often said that eating is "satisfying hunger", which is to solve the problem of hunger. Such understanding is not enough. Firstly, the essence of eating is "transforming food into body", especially in the growing period of children and teenagers. Secondly, it is to satisfy hunger. The principle of "body transformed from food" means that people should re-understand eating matters from the perspective of life and survival. People used to underestimate the relationship between food and human life.

The transformation of food into body requires the support of genes, oxygen, temperature, and other factors, which is a highly intelligent system. From the perspective of its wisdom, food brain not only exists in the digestive system, and does not limit to the intestinal brain or abdominal brain. The transformation mechanism still needs to be deeply explored and recognized and is an important subject people should face in the 21st century. From the perspective of the relationship between food brain and brain, the principle of "food brain as the king" can be extended, which means that food brain determines the survival and health of the body, and brain is developed in the process of serving food brain. Food brain commands brain, but brain cannot command food brain. The relationship between them is like the king and minister, and only brain obeying food brain can achieve health and longevity. Otherwise, health and survival are at risk.

Food brain appears earlier than the brain, and the brain is gradually evolved in the process of meeting the demand for food brain, and it serves the food brain. When the human brain is developed, it is still the minister of food brain, and the position of serving the food brain remains unchanged. If the food brain is survival, the brain can be survival; if the food brain is dead, the brain cannot be survival. On the other hand, the brain ceases to work, people can still live.

The brain can make misjudgments when faced with food. Most of the time, people do not eat according to their own physiological needs, but have many social needs during the Chinese New Year, weddings, funerals, relative gatherings, and so on. On these occasions mentioned above, people usually eat a big meal and often feel discomfort, over time will harm the health of the body. Many "hungry", in fact, are not really hungry, but to meet greedy taste. People did not just meet the demands of the stomach, which is the misdirection of the brain.

In the face of the "magic master", the chemical food additives, the human body's five organs commanded by the brain are often deceived by its superb magics. Food additives have the functions of flavoring, coloring and antiseptic, which can improve the color and taste of food and make it more delicious. It can also extend the saving time of food. But excessive use of food additives can violate the operation mechanism of food brain and harm the health of the human body.

The value of the principles of "body transformed from food" and "food brain as king" has been seriously underestimated in today's era of brain worship. People ignore the essential relationship between food and body, violate the objective law of shiance, and eventually harm the health of human body.

Principle of "food and human body coupling"

The principle of "food and human body coupling" is "healthy coupling between human body and food". Everyone's body is different and changes all the time. Only by clearly recognizing their differences, according to the needs of their own body conditions at that time, choose the most suitable food and eating methods, they can achieve health through eating. If this principle is violated, people will become ill. The principle of "food and human body coupling" reveals the essential relationship among individual health, food and eating methods.

The principle of “food and human body coupling" is about the healthy coupling between food and the individual. There are 8 billion people in the world today (Guterres, 2022), and each of them is a unique individual. From the perspective of shiology, 8 billion people are 8 billion different food conversion systems with 8 billion coupling demands for food. This is not a problem that can be solved with group average theory.

In theory, 8 billion people need 8 billion"healthy coupling plans of eating matters", and everyone hopes to get a healthy coupling plan. But it is a pity that outsiders cannot design this plan, because people are the only ones who know every detail of body changes. The design of this healthy plan needs to follow the principle of "seven appropriates and two tests", that means seven appropriates during dining and two tests after dining. The "seven appropriates" mean that in the process of dining, people should consider whether it is suitable for the body from seven aspects, such as quantity, type, temperature, speed, frequency, order, degree of raw, and cooked food. The "two tests" refers to the observation of all kinds of excretions and body changes after dining to check whether the last meal is correct, thus forming a closed loop of dining and repeated experience to find the best coupling between oneself and food.

If people want to achieve health and longevity by eating, they can't merely follow what other people eat. People can't just rely on the group average of "6 grams of salt and 8 glasses of water a day" for guidance. For example, the water content of the adult human body is about 70%, and the water content of a person weighing 50 kg and a person weighing 75 kg is 35 and 52.5 kg, respectively. The difference in body water content between the two is 17.5 kg. If each person drinks eight glasses of water a day, there would be people who would fall short and some people who would exceed what they really need. There is a gap between the group average and the actual individual demand. To reduce this gap, it is necessary to find the approximate value of individual demand. Industrial society advocates standards, and with a standard for all things, efficiency can be multiplied. Using a single standard for all people is wrong, and one standard cannot meet the needs of 8 billion individuals. In other words, in the matter of getting healthy through eating, relying on uniform standards and uniform quantities is not the best choice. Only by the principle "food and human body coupling" can achieve health and long-life span.

In the process of human cognition of the objective world, the paradigms of "from people" and "from things" are different. "From people" cognitive system must take individual differences as the premise, and pursue individual convergence value. Such a knowledge system should not be expressed by a standard data. Concepts, such as appropriate, moderate and a little, are often used, because only in this way can people get closer to the objective reality of countless individuals. The same is true of eatology in shiology. This cognitive paradigm difference between "from people" and "from things" is also the difference between eastern and western cultures in the cognitive field. From this, people can see the advantages and values of some oriental traditional cognitive systems.

Principle of "eating can cause disease"

The principle of "eating can cause disease" states that "eating matter is a source of human disease." Improper food and eating methods can cause disease and threaten health. Eating right can prevent disease. The principle of "eating can cause disease" reveals the essential relationship between eating matter and illness.

There are six main factors that lead to human diseases: genetics, environment, diet, temperature, exercise and mentality. Among them, genetics and environment are objective factors, while diet, temperature, exercise and mentality are subjective factors. Diet is an important aspect of the factors mentioned above. Diseases caused by eating are called eating diseases. It is a consensus in recent researches that refer to the abnormal state of the body caused by improper food or improper eating methods, including diseases caused by food problems and eating methods. Naming diseases from the perspective of etiology has a positive significance for disease prevention compared with naming diseases from the perspective of symptoms in the past. It can point to the source of disease, so that patients are no longer at a loss in the face of disease, not only conducive to treatment, but also conducive to active prevention.

Eating diseases are mainly caused by six aspects, such as lack of food, overeating, dirty food, imbalanced dining, allergic food, and anorexia. A chronic lack of food can lead to malnutrition; eating more than the body needs is the root of many chronic diseases; the intake of unclean food will endanger the health of the body; eating only one kind of food for a long time will lead to nutritional imbalance; the result of prolonged anorexia is also malnutrition; food allergy is an inherent physical problem that can threaten the health of the body. Among the above six causes of diseases, the problem of "overeating" is relatively easy to be ignored. It is necessary to identify "overeating hurting the body" as a sub-principle of "eating can cause disease", which has a positive effect on solving the problem of overeating of nearly 2 billion people in the world.

The principle of "overeating hurting the body" is that eating more food than body needs for a long time can lead to illness. One of the main reasons for the prevalence of overeating is the "inertia of food deprivation behavior." The inertia of food deprivation is traced back to the human nature of actively storing energy. The formation of the inertia of food deprivation behavior, to the human nature to actively store energy to begin with. In ancient times, humans found that most of the sweet fruits of plants were more nutritious and found the mellow of cooked animals after fire was more resistant to hunger and easier to digest. Gradually human beings formed a sweet and fragrant diet that actively stored energy. After millions of years of evolution, this habit has become an instinct written into the genes. Today, in the environment of abundant food, this nature of active energy storage leads to excessive calorie intake, but the loss of continuous hunger releases scene, thus disrupting the body's mechanism and causing disease.

In health management, everyone knows the importance of "prevention first", but many people do not know where to start. Master the principle of "eating can cause disease", starting from the six disease causes, which are good tools for disease prevention. The value of the "eating can cause disease" principle lies in preventing the occurrence of diseases.

Principle of "eating can cure disease"

The principle of "eating can cure disease" is that "eating is an important form of treating disease. Using the digestive and absorption system to correct body imbalance is an ancient discovery and utilization, which can not only treat diseases caused by food, but also treat diseases by other causes". The principle of "eating can cure disease" reveals the essential relationship between eating and curing disease.

The principle of "eating can cure disease" includes two sub-principles: "to cure disease using the biased characteristics of food", and "food and medicine have the same effects". "To cure disease using the biased characteristics of food" means adjusting the imbalance of the body to achieve the purpose of treating diseases. Modern people's cognition of food composition focuses on elements. In fact, before the invention of the microscope, people had the recognition and utilization of the nature of food. Food nature is the original character of food. Food has characteristics, which can be divided into flatness and bias. Using biased characteristics of food to counterbalance biased characteristisc of human body to prevent and treat diseases.

The function of "to cure disease using the biased characteristics of food" is manifested in three aspects, as the first is to regulate the sub-balance of the body, inhibit the development of disease; the second one is to cure "eating disease" and restore health; thirdly, it can cure disease resulted from other causes and restore health. The cognition and utilization of food bias is the wisdom accumulated by human beings for thousands of years, but it has not attracted enough attention of the academic world.

It is a common human behavior to treat diseases with biased food. Before the appearance of chemical synthetic food (oral medicine), people all over the world understood and grasped the role of food bias to varying degrees in the process of fighting against diseases and used it to treat diseases. In this field, Chinese people have accumulated rich experience, revealed the objective law between food nature and disease, and formed a relatively complete knowledge system. This knowledge system has not only contributed greatly to the development and continuation of the Chinese nation, but also plays a positive role in human health.

In traditional Chinese culture, there is a view of "medicine and food are originated from the same source". It is argued that food is one of the origins of medicine, emphasizing the sequence of food and drug discovery in early human life. In fact, both food and oral drugs are ingested and act on the survival and health of the body through the gastrointestinal tract, and the body has no separate organ to deal with their partitions, and the operating mechanism of the two is essentially the same; however, it always has been neglected. In principle, both work by exploiting the relationship between food conversion systems with survival and health. Understanding this principle and choosing the right foods, people will take fewer drugs.

The principle of "eating can cure disease" means that people should comprehensively understand the general law between food intake and physical health, detect the signs of disease early, grasp the basic order of curing disease by eating, firstly food to satisfy hunger, then herbal food and then synthetic food. The core criterion to measure the quality of medical treatment and a hospital is high curative effects and low costs, rather than anything else. Treating disease by eating has the features.

Principle of "aesthetics of five senses"

The principle of "aesthetics of five senses" is that "eating is the five senses of aesthetics, which is perceived through taste, smell, touch, sight, and hear. It is an aesthetic process based on smell, taste and touch (oral), supplemented by sight and hear. The aesthetic response to eating is binary, namely psychological response and physiological response, emphasizing the unity of delicious and healthy. The principle of "aesthetics of five senses" reveals the essential relationship between eating and aesthetics.

Traditional aesthetic theory only acknowledges the aesthetic functions of sight and hear, but does not include taste, smell and touch. In fact, the human aesthetic derives from taste rather than sight. The proposed principle of "aesthetics of five senses" reveals the objective law and breaks the imprisonment of traditional aesthetic theory. Human beings perceive the information of the outside world through the five senses, and will produce pleasure or aversion experience, no matter rich or poor. The taste, smell, touch, shape, color, and sound of food act on people's five senses at the same time, which is not possessed by other forms of aesthetics. It is a kind of full-sense art.

In real life, when people praise the artistry of a dish before they taste it, they often speak of its visual effects, which is the inertia of visual aesthetics ruling the art world. In fact, there is a very big gap among the visual effect of dishes, paintings and sculptures. It is a kind of prejudice and misdirection to evaluate the aesthetic activity of eating aesthetics with visual aesthetics, and it also goes against the objective law.

From the perspective of shiology, the first sign of a gourmet in the field of appreciation is to live longer and healthier than non-gourmets. Failing this, the nongourmet is still alive while the gourmet dies prematurely, which can only be regarded as a professional "foodie". This kind of "foodie" is admirable in times of food shortage but outdated in times of abundant food. Modern society needs to set up a new gourmet idol to lead people to eat healthily.

From the "two senses" to the "five senses", from the "unitary" to "binary", which is a complete revelation of the objective law of eating aesthetic and the complement and perfection of the traditional aesthetic theory, its greatest value is the unity of delicious and healthy, so that everyone can enjoy food while living a healthier, longer life.

Principles of Shiology in the Field of Shiance Order

Shiance is the basic activity of human society. Shiance not only determines the life and death of everyone, but also determines the rise and fall of human society, the harmony or conflict of human society, and the continuation or cessation of human society. From the social point of view, looking back to the history of human development, it can be seen that the period of peace and prosperity was when everything followed the objective laws of shiance order. When everything went against the objective laws of shiance order, it was a historical period with constant conflicts and wars. Perhaps because the shiance order was in the interests of human survival, people were reluctant to tell the world. In other words, people lack a summary of previous observations and cognitions.

The principles of shiology in the field of shiance order are related to the harmony of human society and the rise and fall of the world's population. The following five principles may not sound esoteric, but they are the cornerstones of human civilization. Shiance order is the main body of social order, thus without the support of shiance order, all orders will fall apart. People should build a shiance order that takes care of 8 billion people, so the management effects of shiance issues can be maintained for hundreds of years and even thousands of years. If people are born without the interferences of shiance issues and know that their children and grandchildren will not have shiance issues, at that time, conflicts in human society will be greatly reduced and human civilization will enter a brand-new era.

Principle of "shiance breeds civilization"

The principle of "shiance breeds civilization" is that "shiance precedes civilization, and shiance breeds civilization. Shiance is the foundation of civilization, and shiance sustains the continuation of civilization. Improper shiance behaviors will threaten the continuation of civilization". The principle of "shiance breeds civilization" reveals the essential relationship between shiance and civilization.

Shiance is not only related to human survival and health, but also related to the origin and development of human civilization. The relationship between shiance and civilization has been neglected. The origin of human civilization has two stages, namely the stage of civilization elements and the stage of civilization society. The formation of civilization elements originated from the behavior of Homo sapiens to obtain food. Civilized society began with the domestication of food. Civilization comes from food, and shiance is the driving force of human civilization origin.

The six elements of civilization were formed between 10 000 and 5.5 million years ago. Wisdom, beauty, propriety, power, order, and heirs all originated from the process of obtaining food. Shiance is the source of wisdom. In the early days of human beings, when they came from trees to the ground, they were weak in body. When faced with many threats from animals of greater weight, they had to rely on mass fighting, traps and cudgels to fight against them, which was the beginning of human wisdom. Making and using tools to obtain food has become the key to human wisdom; beauty comes from food. At the beginning of human beings, there was no sense of beauty. Aesthetic feeling is a human's favorable impression of the objective world. Man's earliest sense of beauty comes from the taste of food, from the sweetness of the fruits and the fragrance of cooked animals; propriety comes from shiance. The core of propriety is humility. It must be food, rather than other things, that man first gives way to. Food is the beginning of human etiquette. Respect is an important content of etiquette. Giving food to others is the beginning of human etiquette. Whether to worship people, heaven or god, food is indispensable. And power comes from shiance. When controlling food, people gain respect and obedience, which means power. For example, Ding (tripod) was originally used as eating utensils in China, but later evolved into a symbol of power, which proves this truth. Heirs come from shiance. A flourishing population depends on food, and the survival of a community depends above all on a sustainable supply of food. No food, no inheritance, no descendants. Storing food for children and grandchildren, storing food resources is the first issue of inheritance.

Civilized society emerged from the domestication of food 10 000 years ago. The domestication of food allowed people to settle down and accumulate grain. Social division of labor and social strata emerged, as well as the appearance of cities, writing and bronze wares. The domestication of food is the beginning of human civilization.

Shiance is the core content of human civilization, which determines survival and life, everyone's quality of life, and the harmony and stability of social order. The expression of human civilization today is more colorful and unruly, and sometimes seems to stray far from the original intent of civilization. Shiance is the mainstay of human civilization, as it was in the past, as it is today. Without the sustenance of shiance, all forms of civilization would fall apart. Today's civilization is not the whole civilization of mankind, because there are still 800 million hungry people on the earth. A comprehensive and complete solution to the shiance issues is the primary symbol of whole human civilization.

Shiance issues are the major threats to the continuation of human civilization. On September 25, 2015, the United Nations Sustainable Development Summit was held in New York. The 193 member states of the United Nations formally adopted the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) (The United Nations, 2015) at the summit, aiming at thoroughly solving the development problems of social, economic, and environmental dimensions in a comprehensive way, and shifting them to the path of sustainable development. Its primary goal was to end hunger in every corner of the world. Among the 17 goals, 12 are related to shiance, indicating that shiance issues are an important factor threatening sustainable development. On June 24, 2019, the World Shiology Forum issued the Awaji Island Declaration at the G20 Summit in Osaka, reaching four major consensuses on solving shiance issues, and the first of which was that "effective solution of shiance issues is a prerequisite for sustainable human development". A comprehensive solution to the shiance issues is related to the future of human civilization.

Principle of "shiance triangle"

The principle of "shiance triangle" is that "the scope of human shiance is developed among the food maternal system, shiance behavior system and food conversion system. The shiance behavior system takes food from the maternal food system for use by the food conversion system, which excretes and eventually degrades food from the body back into the maternal food system. The resulting triangle reflects the boundaries of human shiance (Fig. 1), and the whole picture of shiance cannot be formed by the absence of any part." The principle of "shiance triangle" reveals the essential relationship between human shiance and nature.

The "shiance triangle" elaborates the boundaries of human shiance activities and establishes the whole of human shiance activities, to get rid of the awkward situation of partial cognition of shiance activities in the past and provides theoretical support for the comprehensive cognition of shiance issues.

The maternal food system is natural and formed about 65 million years ago. It is the source system of food, the ecosystem of food, and it is a "big system" shared by all mankind. The shiance behavior system is social. Shiance behavior system is a group of "layer system" from less to more, from small to large. Human shiance behavior is multilevel, from a person's shiance behavior system, a family's shiance behavior system, a group's shiance behavior system, to a country's shiance behavior system, and then to the global people's shiance behavior system. It's multi-tiered and includes multiple systems, there are 8 billion people in the world today, so there are 8 billion food conversion systems, which are "microsystems".

As can be seen from the above, 8 billion food conversion systems share one food maternal system through the shiance behavior system. Although individual, family, regional, and national interests are different, people share the same interests when facing the food maternal system. Although families, regions, countries, and ethnic cultures are different, people have the same needs in the food maternal system. It can be said that human beings share one "food maternal system", which is the material foundation of the theory of "community of shared future for mankind".

The principle of "shiance tringle" reveals the basic running track of human survival, food acquisition and food utilization in nature, and provides theoretical support for a comprehensive understanding of shiance and an overall solution to shiance issues.

Principle of "shiance priority"

The principle of "shiance priority" is that "shiance has a long history and before other matters. Shiance is a matter of survival, so survival comes first, and life comes second. Only when shiance comes first, the country is peaceful, and the people live a stable life. If other matters come first, there will be incoherence and confusion". The principle of "shiance priority" reveals the essential relationship between food and other things.

People need to put shiance first and other matters after it. Shiance is the first thing for human survival and should be given priority. If other matters come first, it will threaten the survival and sustainability of mankind. The other matters referred include matters of clothing, housing, transportation, medicine, communications, finance, aerospace, military, and so on. From the long history of human development, the shiance emerged not only before all other matters, but also before civilization. Shiance has a long history and civilization emerged after shiance. Shiance came first, the other matters followed, which is an objective fact that has existed for a long time and cannot be changed, and a persistent objective law that cannot be changed.

After entering industrial society, science and technology developed rapidly and satisfied human desires, while other matters also increased. Under the principle of business competition, it seems that there are many urgent things to be solved now, which are more urgent than shiance. Under the operating mechanism of this society, people often unconsciously make the decisions of putting "other matters first" and putting shiance behind them, which is very dangerous. The consequence of putting "other matters first" is that the present problems are solved, but the problems of the future become more and more complex. In the long run, the behavior of putting "other matters first" will not only reduce the overall operating efficiency of the society, but also threaten the health of individuals and the sustainability of the population. The principle of "shiance priority" summarizes the basic law of human social activities and is one of the important objective laws of human society. This principle summarizes the weight of important things in human behavior and reveals the objective law of sustainable development of human society.

In addition, the shiance priority principle can be extended to some lemmas. For example, the principle of "eating before medical treating" is that "shiance is the upstream of health management, while medical treating is the downstream of health management. Grasping the upstream management can achieve twice the results with half the efforts, but grasping the downstream management is twice the efforts can only achieve half results. Shiance is indispensable to medical management." This lemma reveals the essential relationship between shiance and matter of medicine. Clarifying the relationship between shiance and medical matters is the key to grasp the initiative of health management. Shiance is active health management and medicine is passive health management. Active health management has low cost and high efficiency, while passive health management has high cost and low efficiency, but the reality is very embarrassing. As far as health is mentioned, the first thing people think of is medical treatment or just medical treatment, as if health management is medical treatment. In fact, people cannot live without shiance from birth to death. Healthy people do not need medical care, but only need medical care after they get sick. Besides, shiance also has the function of curing diseases, so the importance of shiance is far greater than that of medical care in health management.

Principle of "shiance behavior follows food matrix and food conversion"

The content of the principle of "shiance behavior follows food matrix and food conversion" is that "human shiance behavior must follow the operating rules of the food conversion system in order to be healthy and long lived, and must follow the operating rules of the food maternal system in order to be sustainable. Human shiance behavior should not be capricious. By correcting improper behavior of human food in time can human beings survive better and develop sustainably". The principle of "shiance behavior follows food matrix and food conversion" reveals the essential relationship between human shiance behavior and natural mechanisms.

Historically, phanerozoic ecosystems formed around 540 million years ago, during which time there were five mass extinctions. Today's food maternal system was formed about 65 million years ago, the human food conversion system was formed about 25 million years ago, and the sapiens shiance behavior system was formed about 5.5 million years ago. In other words, there is a big difference in the formation time of these three systems. The formation time of the human shiance system is more than 10 times later than that of the food maternal system and the food conversion system. Therefore, human food behavior cannot be capricious, and must accept the constraints from two aspects, one is to follow the objective laws of food conversion system constraints to maintain and improve the health and longevity of human individuals; besides, the objective laws of food maternal system should be followed to maintain and prolong the continuation of human population.

Human beings are at the top of the biological chain. If the maternal food system is destroyed, it will be passed on step by step, which will accumulate and harm human beings. The food conversion system is the life system of everyone. If the operation mechanism of the food conversion system is violated, the life quality of people will be seriously decreased until the early end, and they will not be able to achieve health and longevity. Human eating behavior must follow these two operating mechanisms and cannot challenge these two operating mechanisms. Only by adapting to them and following them can each individual be healthy and the population sustainable.

Many human behaviors in the past 300 years had brought great pressure to the food maternal system, interfered with the operating mechanism of the food matrix, and brought a lot of harm to the food conversion system. Especially since the chemical synthetic substances entered the food chain, they have improved the efficiency of food production and the sensory effects of food, but brought great threats to the food ecology and individual health. This is a classic case that challenges the principle of "shiance behavior follows food matrix and food conversion".

The principle of "shiance behavior follows food matrix and food conversion" warns that people should always reflect on shiance behaviors and correct improper food behaviors in time. Only in this way can improve the level of individual health and maintain the sustainable development of the population.

Principle of "shiance order is the basis of human social order"

The principle of "shiance order is the basis of human social order" states that human social order originates from the distribution of food and the possession of food resources. Shiance order is survival order and is earlier than social order. Shiance order is the foundation of social order. Without shiance order, all the other orders will collapse in an instant, and so will the civilization. The principle of "shiance order is the basis of human social order" reveals the essential relationship between shiance and social order.

Shiance order is the manifestation of the organization, continuity and efficiency of food system. Shiance order is the initial form of human order, the basis of all orders, and the premise of the sustainable human development. According to the Global Report on Food Crisis-2021 released by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (2022), at least 155 million people in the world were facing severe grain insecurity in 2020, the highest level in the past five years. Severe grain insecurity is defined as the immediate danger to human life or livelihoods due to the inability to have enough food. Due to conflict, COVID-19, extreme weather, and other factors, severe grain insecurity issues have been intensifying globally in recent years. The conflict between Russia and Ukraine could push up to 1.7 billion people into poverty and hunger, more than one-fifth of the global population (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, 2022). Food shortage is an important cause of social conflicts and disorder of shiance order is an important cause of social unrest. Without the harmony of shiance order, there can be no harmony of social order.

The principle of "shiance order is the basis of human social order" reveals the basic law of the construction of human social order. Without rational distribution of food and reasonable possession of food resources, there is no harmonious shiance order. Without harmonious shiance order, there is no harmonious social order, and shiance order is the core content of social order. From a worldwide perspective, this relationship is seriously underestimated. Many of the conflicts that exist in the world today seem, on the surface, to have nothing to do with food, and seem to be a struggle for non-food resources. In fact, when lifting the veil, it is not difficult to find that the bottom of the competition is still food resources. To build a harmonious social order, the first thing is to build a shiance order. Building a new order that takes care of the shiance welfare of 8 billion people is the basis for the evolution of the 21st century world order.

Conclusions

Revealing the objective principles is a very important link in the process of human cognition of the objective world and is the core of the three necessary conditions for constructing the scientific system. There are still many cognitive dimensions that have not been opened and countless objective principles to be discovered. The 10 shiology principles mentioned above are the cognitive achievements of a new dimension.

The survival and health of individuals cannot be separated from shiance. Revealing and grasping the shiance principles can improve the quality of life of individuals. The five principles in the field of eaters' health revolve around individual eating matters. If people can fully use these five principles, people will not get sick, reduce the chance of getting sick, but also cure diseases by eating, so that a healthy life that can be improved by one to five years can be realized. If everyone around the world learns to use these five principles, an additional one to five years of healthy life expectancy for 8 billion people can be achieved. At the same time, it can also save family medical expenses, reduce the burden of national medical insurance and save social medical resources. There is great value in these five easy-to-understand principles.

Shiance is one kind of the driving force of human civilization. Food distribution and possession of food resources are the basis of social order. The five principles in the field of shiance order revolve around human civilization and order. If people can make full use of these five principles and make food resources in a bright and scientific way, the world shiance conflicts can be greatly reduced, and a world shiance order that takes care of the interests of 8 billion people can be built. With the new shiance order, the iteration of the overall social order will be driven by human civilization to a new level. The relationship between shiology principles and civilization has been underestimated.

As a knowledge system of shiance cognition, shiology takes finding objective principles of shiance as its mission. The above 10 principles of shiology are the important contents of the scientific system of shiology. To understand these principles is the need of constructing the knowledge system of shiology, and to master these principles is the need of solving the shiance issues. And the principles of shiology are closely related to the health and longevity of 8 billion people, and they are closely related to the sustainable development of human society. From this point of view, shiology as a scientific principle, its social value is no less than that of other disciplines.

From a survival perspective, everyone wants to live longer and healthier lives. From the perspective of the development of human civilization, there are constant conflicts in human society, the process of globalization of diversity is hindered, and the sustainable development of mankind is threatened. Facing these problems, man needs greater wisdom. Shiology has revealed the shiance principles that are necessary for human survival, constitutes the basis of human civilization, and provides irreplaceable theoretical tools to solve the problems of human food acquisition, eaters' health and social order. A comprehensive and thorough solution to the shiance issues of the world is the beginning of mankind's progress towards overall civilization.

Food supports life and creates all values. Food value is the basis of all values. Shiance supports civilization to construct all orders, and shiance order is the foundation of all orders. Correct improper food behaviors to realize the sustainable development of civilization and change the human world.
