"Sanxian" has many meanings in different cultural and historical backgrounds. In ancient China, especially in sacrificial rites, the "three sacrifices" were the collective name of the first sacrifice, the second sacrifice and the last sacrifice, and were the three main steps in the libation ceremony.

Extended introduction

Voluntary blood donation refers to the act of selflessly donating one's own blood to social welfare undertakings in order to save others' lives, and the blood donors do not charge more than the transportation expenses, lost time and other expenses and remuneration necessary for blood donation.

Free blood donation is a noble act of selfless dedication and saving lives, and it is the general direction of the development of blood cause in China. Blood donation is the embodiment of love and dedication, and the value of helping patients relieve their pain and save their lives cannot be measured by money. For nearly half a century, the World Health Organization and the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement have been calling for the principle of "blood for medical use" to all countries in the world. The age of encouraging voluntary blood donation in China is 18-55 years old.
