basic theories of traditional Chinese medicine
1, Yin and Yang Studies
Yin and Yang studies belong to the category of China's ancient philosophy. Yin-yang theory holds that everything in the universe has two aspects, namely Yin and Yang, which are both opposite and unified, and constantly moving and interacting. This kind of movement and interaction is the root of the movement and change of everything. The ancients called this constant movement and change "biochemical infinity" Su Wen said that Yin and Yang should be like a big theory: "Yin and Yang are the way of heaven and earth, and the discipline of all things is based on the change of parents, the source of life and death, and the house of gods, so the rule of law must be based on this." It is expounded that the growth, development and extinction of all things in the universe are the result of the continuous movement and interaction of Yin and Yang. Therefore, the theory of Yin and Yang has become a way of thinking to understand and master the laws of nature.
Medicine belongs to the category of natural science, and it is believed that the physiological activities of the human body and the occurrence and development of diseases cannot go beyond yin and yang. Therefore, in order to master the development process of the disease, explore the essence of the disease and obtain satisfactory curative effect, we must explore the changes of yin and yang in the human body.
2. Five Elements Theory
The theory of five elements generalizes the attributes of different things in the objective world with five philosophical categories: wood, fire, earth, gold and water, and explains the law of mutual connection and transformation between things with the dynamic model of five elements. The "Five Elements Theory" refers to the movement and changes of these five substances and their interrelations, and explains the interrelations and movement and changes of things with mutual resistance as a reasoning tool. Traditional Chinese medicine mainly uses the theory of five elements to explain the functional relationship between five zang-organs and the mechanism of diseases when zang-fu organs are out of balance, and also to guide the treatment of zang-fu organs diseases.
3. Luck theory
Also known as five movements and six qi, it is a theory to study and explore the influence of astronomical, meteorological and climate changes in nature on human health and diseases. The Five Games include wood transportation, fire transportation, earth transportation, gold transportation and water transportation, and refer to the seasonal cycle of spring, summer, autumn and winter in nature. Six qi are six climatic factors: stroke, cold, heat, dampness, dryness and fire all year round. Luck theory is based on astronomical calendar parameters to calculate the annual climate change and disease occurrence law.
4. viscera theory
The theory of viscera mainly studies the physiological functions and pathological changes of five zang-organs (heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney), six fu-organs (small intestine, large intestine, stomach, bladder, gallbladder and triple energizer) and odd fu-organs (brain, marrow, bone, pulse, gallbladder and daughter cells).
5. Meridian theory
Meridian theory is closely related to viscera theory. Meridian is the channel of qi and blood circulation in human body, which has the function of communicating inside and outside and networking the whole body. In pathological state, the function of meridian system changes, which will present corresponding symptoms and signs. Through these manifestations, we can diagnose visceral diseases in vivo.
