Second, the conception of the work

1, yin-yang balance theory

The theory of Yin and Yang was originally a simple dialectical thought of China in ancient times. The author of Neijing introduced it into the medical field to explain various problems of human physiology, pathology, diagnosis and treatment.

Physiologically, it is emphasized that "Yin and Pingyang are the secret, and God is the rule." It is believed that the yin and yang sides of the human body should be in a state of balance and coordination; If the balance between yin and yang is out of balance, it will lead to disease. Its pathological manifestations are "yang deficiency leads to yang disease, yang deficiency leads to yin disease, yang deficiency leads to heat, yin deficiency leads to cold", "yang deficiency leads to external cold, and yin deficiency leads to internal heat".

2. The theory of the rise and fall of evil.

The theory of evil is based on ancient military thought. Su Wen introduced this idea into medicine, believing that the occurrence and development of diseases depend on the rise and fall of good and evil. As the saying goes, "evil combined with qi deficiency" (fever review). It is necessary to improve the "healthy qi" in the human body, "healthy qi exists inside, and evil is not feasible" (acupuncture theory).

Historical Value and Evaluation of Su Wen Wu Zang Lun

I. Historical value

Su Wen and Ling Shu are two famous medical works in the Warring States, Qin and Han Dynasties, and they are a comprehensive summary of medical achievements in past dynasties. Their origins include seven medical classics headed by Huangdi Neijing. In the past two thousand years, China medicine has been developing along the road of Su Wen and Ling Shu.

Su Wen and Ling Shu are two independent works, and the two titles (including Needle Sutra and Nine Volumes) have been used separately, which have been recorded in the official history bibliographies of past dynasties. Su Wen and Ling Shu are the earliest medical classics handed down in China, which is also the historical position of these two books.

Second, the evaluation

Liao Ping: "Lingshu is a classic, and Su Wen is a biography. Although they can't be divided, they are roughly the same. Medical books are more rooted in the spiritual pivot than Su Wen. "
