01 chapter predict theoretical basis

Yin and Yang five elements theory is the theoretical basis of using prediction, it reflects the ancient simplicity of the philosophy of dialectical materialism, is the basis and origin of ancient Chinese philosophy.Today, the unity of opposites of dialectical materialism view is consistent with the theory of Yin and Yang five elements.

Yin and Yang, refers to the world of all things have two opposite to each other and interconnected power, already contains Yin and Yang in the air.In popular, the promise and tai chi, tai chi movement of Yin and Yang, Yin and Yang and promoting the movement of the world and each of these things change., the five elements is used to summarize several types of the basic elements in the world, they are named after wood fire earth the goldwater, but itself is not merely refers to the specific things, but in them as the basic framework, or for the model of thinking, everything will be divided into basic five categories.

The first section of Yin and Yang theory

Yin-yang theory, think that everything in the universe has the Yin and Yang are two aspects of both opposite and unified, often constant motion and interaction.The movement and interaction, is the root of all things change movement.The ancients called the constant motion changes, the biochemical "."Element asked" Yin and Yang should be like a big idea: "the justifications of the Yin and Yang is the way of heaven and earth, also, the change of the parents, the beginning of life and death, the gods of the house also, so the cure will pray on this."Illuminates the universe of all things, growth, development and extinction are two aspects of Yin and Yang things constant movement and the result of the interaction.Therefore, Yin and Yang theory also becomes a thinking method for understanding and mastering the law of nature.Medicine belongs to the scope of natural science, human body physiological activity, the happening of the disease development, Yin and Yang are also could not go beyond that.We want to control the progress of the disease process, and to explore the nature of the disease, to obtain satisfactory curative effect, we must explore the changes of Yin and Yang of human body.

The implications of Yin and Yang and universality: ancient thinkers believe that the universe all things are made by opposing each other and the two interdependent aspects.These two aspects are called Yin and Yang.

In general, Yang on behalf of things has the properties such as dynamic, active, strong on the one hand, also on behalf of the excitement, active, light, invisible, function, rising, exposed, light, heat, growth and life activities, etc.Yin represents a static, not active, soft properties, on the other hand, also reflect the inhibition, negative, dark, tangible, material, drop,,,, heavy, cold, reduce, and the body.

When two things happen connection, can be divided into Yin and Yang.Day, for example, to Yang, in Yin and sun for Yang, month for Yin;For Yang, water for fire Yin, male is male, the female is Yin;For Yang during the day, night into Yin...

If an animal, for example, its body is cloudy, life activities for Yang;Its internal viscera as Yin, the leakage of fur for Yang;It downward abdominal to Yin, up back to shenyang...

The above description of Yin and Yang refers to all things of the universe, the most basic and most height difference and generalization.

The law of the change of Yin and Yang

Between Yin and Yang, is not isolated and static, but there are relative, dependence, ebb and flow, the relationship between transformation.Now the points mentioned below:

(a) the relativity of Yin and Yang, Yin and Yang is the two kinds of properties of things, is on behalf of the contradictory and unified two aspects.Is connected the two opposite aspects of things and phenomena of nature.Such as the day for Yang, for Yin;The day is Yang, and the night is Yin;For Yang, for Yin;Hot Yang, cold for Yin;Positive and negative electricity, etc.Such, shows no matter any thing, is opposite in the universe, however, the properties of Yin and Yang of things is not absolute, relative, but must be subject to the conditions of the compare.In terms of human body for Yang, internal organs as the Yin;In terms of internal organs, fu Yang, the five zang-organs for Yin;In terms of the five zang-organs, heart and lung in Yang, liver and kidney in the subordinate Yin;In terms of kidney, kidney hidden "pure" as the Yin, "the fire of Ming Yang of the kidney.Thus, things of Yin and Yang attribute is relative.

(2) mutual root of Yin and Yang: the ancient medical scientist called mutual root of Yin and Yang.Traditional Chinese medicine is electropositive radical in Yin, Yin in Yang, solitary Yin is not born, Yang is not long and alone "without Yang, Yin, Yin, Yang without" argument.Mean, to cling to the Yin Yang, Yin attached to Yang, between them, there exists mutual engenders, interdependent relationship - that is, any side or Yin Yang side, all cannot leave the other and exist alone.In nature, for Yang, in Yin;For Yang, Yin is below, for Yang during the day and the night is cloudy.If not, outside, on the day, also can't explain, within, the dark night.In human physiology, functional activity to Yang, nutrients (fluid, JingXie, etc.) Yin.A variety of nutrients is the material basis for the functional activity, have enough nutrients, functional activity is strong.On the other hand, the source of nutrients, and rely on gut function activities and learned.

Above shows the two are mutually near, survival and, without Yin, there is no sun.If separate with Yin Yang, or have no Yin Yang, is bound to as neijing said: "solitary Yang is not born, Yin is not long" alone, is all to rest vanished.

(3) the ebb and flow of Yin and Yang: refers to the two sides of Yin and Yang is on the basis of opposing each other root in the land of eternal movement, appear constantly "long Yin and Yang" and "Yang Yin long elimination" phenomenon, this is the process of sport development and changes everything.For example: the climate change of the four seasons, winter from spring to summer, from cold heat, is a process of "Yin Yang long elimination";From the summer solstice autumn to winter, from hot cold gradually, is a process of "Yang Yin long elimination".Due to the four seasons climate ebb and flow of Yin and Yang, so the change of temperature is not cool.All things to grow.If there is abnormal climate lost degrees, often change, can produce disasters.

The doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, Yin and Yang are used to partial partial tide (i.e., ebb and flow of Yin and Yang) to illustrate the different of clinical syndrome.Cold belong to Yin, Yin sheng is seen, for example, cold syndrome, such as form cold stomach cold after abdominal pain, diarrhea, etc.;Heat is a Yang, Yang excessiveness then see heat syndromes, such as general acute pneumonia, has a high fever, thirst, acute fever symptoms, including skin red.Some weak condition, its pathogenesis is not because of Yin or Yang sheng, but because of partial virtual.If a virtual Yin of the zang-fu organs, known as the Yin deficiency, this is a Yin and Yang are relatively prominent, because heat is a Yang, Yin see heat syndromes.This phenomenon is called heat.If a virtual Yang of the zang-fu organs, this is Yang, known as Yang deficiency, Yin relatively prominent at this time, because of the cold to Yang, therefore, Yang deficiency cold syndrome, this phenomenon is called cold.

Under normal circumstances, often in a relative balance of Yin and Yang, if "the ebb and flow" relationship beyond a certain limit, can't keep relative balance, there is a particular aspect of Yin and Yang of partial tide, lead to the occurrence of diseases.

(4) the transformation of the Yin and Yang: refers to the unity of Yin and Yang, under certain conditions, when its development to a certain stage, the two sides can respectively to its opposite, Yin can be converted into Yang, Yang can be converted into Yin, called "transformation" of Yin and Yang.

If the "ebb and flow of Yin and Yang" is a quantitative change process, the transformation is a process of qualitative change."Element asked" so-called "the Yin Yang, chongyang will Yin", "cold pole heat" and "hot" raw cold.Cold "very", they are likely to heat the direction of the transformation, hot "pole", there is likely to the direction of the cold.As some acute fever, because of the evil heat very heavy, a lot of hurt the body upright, in the case of continuous high fever, can suddenly a drop in body temperature, of appetite, limb vein micro heart is Yin cold crisis, such as the condition change, that is turn by Yang.If the rescue in time, handled well, to restore vital qi, limbs turn temperature, color of arteries and veins and, sun be the spirit, by Yin Yang, get better.In addition, the common clinical various from real to virtual, turn from virtual to real, and by the table into the, by diseases, such as a table in the change, and transformation of Yin and Yang.

Yin and Yang to paraphrase in medicine

(a) Yin and Yang relationship with human anatomy parts: according to the above outside for Yang, in Yin;For Yang, Yin is below;The rule of back to shenyang, abdominal to overcast, is fur on the outside of shenyang, viscera, as the Yin;Head over to Yang, next to Yin.

(2) Yin and Yang and the relationship between human physiology: the health of human body or not, depends on whether of Yin and Yang to reconcile, such as neijing says: "Yin pingyang secret, spirit is cure".Ingested food, after a rotten of spleen, stomach, operation, and the transportation of nutrients into the body, make the body strong growth, make the life activity.Tangible waste, after digestion by before and after the Yin.If Yin and Yang to keep the balance of the body, the body is healthy.

(3) the relationship with human pathology of Yin and Yang: the body balance of Yin and Yang, will show the symptoms, the ancients of the classification of the symptoms, Yin and Yang is used to represent and instructions.Yang, the general performance of the symptoms: fever, thirst, pulse number (fast) and so on, this kind of symptom, the ancients also called heat (Yang).Yin, the general performance of the symptom is: no fever, not thirsty, limbs cold, pulse late (slow) and so on, this kind of symptom, the ancients also called cold (Yin).This is nei jing said: "YangSheng heat, Yin is cold".

The other partial failure of Yin and Yang, is refers to the imbalance of Yin or Yang below the normal level, its side below the normal level, but on the other side to keep normal levels, or both sides to varying degrees below the normal level, so the deficiency syndrome.Yin deficiency, Yang Yin deficiency is born normal internal heat;Normal, Yang deficiency, Yin Yang deficiency cold outside;Both the deficiency of the different level of Yin and Yang, cold, heat and see or Yin and Yang two empty.This is called the "Canon" say "Yin deficiency with internal, Yang deficiency cold", "Yin and Yang are two empty" certificate.

(4) in the diagnosis of Yin and Yang, to paraphrase: Yin and Yang is the sum of diagnosis.Although many of the disease, but its attribute, Yin and Yang are nothing more than two classes, such as from the point of disease development areas, not in the table (Yang), is in (Yin).From the nature of the disease: heat syndrome (Yang), cold syndrome (Yin), look from the disease development trend from: empirical (Yang) deficiency syndrome (Yin).All in all, Yin and Yang can be summarized properties of the disease.

(5) in the treatment of Yin and Yang to paraphrase: traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) type very much, but its performance is nothing more than two kinds of Yin and Yang, from medicinal: cold, hot, warm, cold, warm Yang, cold belong to Yin.From the general principle of treatment is "adjusting Yin and Yang, with flat," this is the basic starting point of the treatment.In view of the ups and downs of Yin and Yang, to complement the insufficiency, purging the, result in a partial tide of Yin and Yang of anomaly corrected, restore its relative balance state.Traditional medicines are used such as "cold, hot, cold fever, the doer of have diarrhoea, virtual fill the" therapeutic principles, prompted the imbalance of Yin and Yang to restore to relative balance.Clinical partial medicinal properties and to correct the body of Yin and Yang of partial, to reach "is" Yin pingyang secret, spirit.Clinical specific usage: (1) Yang deficiency and Yin is cold, treatment: cold, heat (heat medicine);(2) Yin deficiency and YangSheng heat treatment: cold fever (with cold medicine);(3), the vital qi treatment: virtual repairs;(4) pathogens partial wins, treatment: the doer of diarrhea;(5) port of Yin, Yang, treatment: ziyin latent Yang;6. Both Yin and Yang deficiency, treatment: Yin Yang (double repair of Yin and Yang).

The theory of five elements in the second quarter

Five elements theory of the universe, are made by wood, fire, earth, metal and water the operation of the five basic substance (movement) and change.It emphasizes that the overall concept, describes the relationship of structure and the movement form things.If is a kind of ancient theory of the unity of opposites of Yin and Yang, the five elements is a primitive general system theory.

The five elements theory in neijing, set for medical, the ancient people's study and the accumulation of a large number of clinical experience, formed the theoretical system of TCM characteristic, plays an important role.

Including five elements of Yin and Yang, five elements contains Yin and Yang, the universe of all things, according to their attributes, can be divided into two classes, Yin and Yang."Yang class" has impacted, upward, germinal, display, extroversion, stretching, clear, positive and active features such as: "Yin" is weak, downward, convergence, concealment, introverted, contraction, savings, negative, quiet characteristics.Any specific things have a Yin and Yang duality.In the Yin Yang, Yang in Yin.Any big things don't escape from the category of Yin and Yang, any tiny things also has two aspects of Yin and Yang, Yin and Yang in certain conditions can be mutual transformation, the phenomenon of zoology is a form of transformation of Yin and Yang.

The universe of all things, according to its characteristics, can the system is divided into five types of gold, wood, water, fire and earth.Generally referred to as the five elements between these five things.Gold, wood, water, fire, earth the five kinds of concrete single doesn't mean things, but the all things of the universe of five different properties of abstract summary, should fully understand the true content of the five elements.

There are based on the relationship between the five elements, are two aspects of contradiction, which is two aspects of Yin and Yang.Based on a universal law of things, and is an integral of things internal two aspects.G is relative, not born, you can't have g;No, and you can't have.Life without grams, things will go to extremes, endless development cause too much, change from good to bad;Have no raw, things will be lost due to pressed too much strength to decline.

Born in g the contradiction between the opposites and unity, regardless of whether they are born too much or g too much can break the relative balance or by opposing unification, things will tilt to one side.In order to maintain relative balance, life and to each other.When can't contain each other, balance is broken, then things will appear the new changes.

Five lines of phase, phase:

Aquatic wood, wood fire, fire generates, native gold, gold water.Water, fire, fire, metal, metal restricting wood, wood, earth, earth, water.
