five wheels [Traditional Chinese Medicine Terminology Approval Committee. Traditional Chinese Medicine Terminology (2013)] 3 Definition
Five wheels (five wheels) is a traditional Chinese medicine ophthalmology noun. See "Esoteric Ophthalmology Longmu Lun" [1]. Wheel, a metaphor for an eyeball that is round in shape and can rotate flexibly like a wheel. "Huang Di Nei Jing Ling Shu Da Huo Lun": "The essence of the five internal organs and the six internal organs are all injected into the eyes to become the essence. The essence of the essence is the eye, the essence of the bone is the pupil, the essence of the sinew is the black eye, and the essence of the blood is the eye. It is the collateral, the essence of its nest is the white eye, and the essence of the muscles is the restraint..." In order to discuss the pathology, physiology, and treatment of the eye, traditional Chinese medicine divides the eye into five parts from the outside to the inside, corresponding to the five internal organs, named the five rounds. The five wheels are collectively referred to as the flesh wheel, blood wheel, air wheel, wind wheel and water wheel [1].
The five rounds have a certain connection with the physiology and pathology of the five internal organs [1].
"The Six Books of Hejian": "The eyes can penetrate the five internal organs, and the Qi can penetrate the five wheels." The meat wheel refers to the upper and lower eyelids (eyelids), which belongs to the spleen. The spleen governs the muscles and is related to the stomach. Therefore, most diseases are related to the spleen and stomach. The blood wheel refers to the blood collaterals of the two canthus, which belongs to the heart. The heart governs blood and is related to the small intestine. Externally and internally, so the diseases are mostly related to the heart and small intestine; Qi Chakra refers to the white eyes, which belongs to the lungs. The lungs govern Qi and are related to the large intestine. It belongs to the liver, and the liver is the internal organ of wind and wood, and is related to the exterior and interior of the gallbladder, so its diseases are mostly related to the liver and gallbladder; the water wheel refers to the pupil, which belongs to the kidney, and the kidney governs water, and is related to the exterior and interior of the bladder, so its diseases are mostly related to the kidneys. , bladder related [1].
The five-wheel theory has been used in the past dynasties to explain the tissue structure, physiological and pathological phenomena of the eye, and has become a unique theory of ophthalmology [1]. 4 Five-wheel theory
The five-wheel theory refers to the theory that the eyes and internal organs are closely related. The flesh wheel, blood wheel, air wheel, wind wheel, water wheel, and internal organs are divided into the spleen. It is a theory used to explain the anatomy, physiology and pathology of the eyes and their relationship with the internal organs, and to guide clinical syndrome differentiation [2].
Traditional Chinese Medicine ophthalmology divides the eye from outside to inside into five parts: eyelids, two canthus, white eyes, black eyes and pupil, which correspond to the spleen, heart, lungs, liver and kidneys respectively. , named flesh wheel, blood wheel, air wheel, wind wheel, water wheel, collectively called the five wheels.
The five-wheel theory originated from "The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic of Suwen". For example, "Huangdi Neijing Lingshu Dahuo Lun" says: "The essence of the five internal organs and the six internal organs are all injected into the eyes to become the essence. The essence of the essence is the eye, the essence of the bone is the pupil, the essence of the sinew is the black eye, and the essence of the blood is the eye. The essence of the Qi is the white eye, and the essence of the muscles is the restraint. It captures the essence of the muscles, bones, and blood and is connected with the pulse. It belongs to the brain at the top and exits from the middle of the neck. "Roughly points out the various parts of the eye. relationship with the internal organs. On the basis of this discussion, later generations of doctors developed a theory that divided the eye into five rounds, which belong to the five internal organs, to explain the anatomy, physiology, and pathology of the eye, and to guide clinical syndrome differentiation and treatment, which is the Five Round Theory.
According to research, "Five Wheels" first appeared in "Liu Haoyan's Song of Accuracy" in the late Tang Dynasty. Among the existing medical books in my country, the earliest records are recorded in "Taiping Shenghui Fang·Yan Lun". As for naming the various parts divided by the eye as "wheels", the explanation in "Looking at Yaohan: The Theory of the Five Wheels" is that "the image is like a wheel in circular motion".
The five-wheel theory has certain guiding significance for clinical syndrome differentiation, and has been widely used by ophthalmologists since the Song Dynasty. 5 Meat Wheel
The Meat Wheel refers to the upper and lower eyelids (eyelids) and belongs to the spleen. The spleen governs muscles and is related to the stomach. Therefore, most of its diseases are related to the spleen and stomach [1]. The eyelid includes the anatomy of the eyelid skin, subcutaneous tissue, muscles, tarsal plate and palpebral conjunctiva. The eyelid belongs to the spleen in the internal organs, and the spleen governs muscles, so it is called the meat wheel. Because the spleen and stomach are related to each other, the spleen and stomach are often blamed for meat wheel diseases. 6 Blood Wheel
The blood wheel refers to the blood collaterals of the two canthus, which belong to the heart. The heart governs blood and is related to the exterior and interior of the small intestine. Therefore, most diseases are related to the heart and small intestine [1]. The two canthus include the anatomical canthus skin, conjunctiva, blood vessels and the lacrimal caruncle, semilunar fold and punctum of the medial canthus. The intersection angle at the nasal joint of the upper and lower eyelids is obtuse and rounded, which is called the major canthus, also known as the medial canthus; the intersection angle at the temporal joint is sharp and small, which is called the minor canthus, also known as the acute canthus or lateral canthus. The two canthus belong to the heart in the internal organs, and the heart governs blood, so it is called the blood wheel. Because the heart and small intestine are related to each other, blood chakra diseases are often caused by the heart and small intestine. 7 Qi Chakra
Qi chakra refers to the white eye, which belongs to the lungs. The lungs govern qi and are related to the large intestine. Therefore, most diseases are related to the lungs and large intestine [1]. The anatomy of the eye includes the bulbar conjunctiva and the anterior sclera. The white eyes are located in the lungs and lungs. The lungs govern qi, so they are called Qi chakras. Because the lungs and large intestine are related to each other, the lungs and large intestine are often blamed for chakra diseases. In addition, the white eyes surround the black eyes and are closely connected. Once lesions occur, they will easily affect each other.
8 Wind Wheel
Wind Wheel refers to the black eyes and belongs to the liver. The liver is the internal organ of wind wood and is related to the gallbladder, so its diseases are mostly related to the liver and gallbladder [1].
In modern times, black eye mainly refers to the anatomy of the cornea. Black eyes belong to the liver in the internal organs, and the liver governs wind, so it is called wind wheel. Because the liver and gallbladder are related to each other, wind chakra diseases are often blamed on the liver and gallbladder. In addition, after the black eye is the yellow kernel, the space between the black eye and the yellow kernel is full of divine water, and the pupil spirit is located in the center of the yellow kernel. Therefore, when the evil of black eye disease is deep into a person, it is easy to affect the yellow kernel and divine water, and also affect the pupil spirit. . 9 Water Wheel
The water wheel refers to the pupil and belongs to the kidneys. The kidneys govern water and are related to the bladder, so most of its diseases are related to the kidneys and bladder [1].
The water wheel refers to the pupil god. The narrow sense of the pupil refers specifically to the anatomical pupil; the broad sense of the pupil refers not only to the pupil, but also includes the uvea, retina, optic nerve, aqueous humor, lens, vitreous body, etc. "Water Wheel" generally refers to the pupil god in a broad sense, which is the main part of the eye that can see all things clearly. The Five Wheels Theory originally stated that the pupil spirit is located in the internal organs and belongs to the kidneys, and the kidneys govern water, so it is called the water wheel. Since the kidneys and bladder are related to each other, water chakra disease is caused by the kidneys and bladder. However, due to the complex structure of the pupil, the practice of many doctors in ancient and modern times has proven that its physiology and pathology are not only related to the kidneys and bladder, but also have an equally important and close relationship with other internal organs.
