Abstract: In recent years, the thinking and research on the prevention and control of Covid-19 Variants Epidemic is not only the technical operation level discussion in the public health and disease prevention academic circles, there is also growing academic interest in comparative research on public health governance and different paradigms. Based on the experience of Shenzhen's epidemic prevention and control team at the community governance level in 2022, based on the observational perspective of medical anthropology, and through comparison with Hong Kong's anti-epidemic experience, this paper deeply analyzes the function and impact of traditional medical methods in epidemic prevention and control. Then the authors cite the paradigm of ‘systems medicine’ and research results in recent years, closely link the research topic with community governance in methodological sense, so as to promote public health and epidemic prevention research that aim at the combination of technology and humanities.
