Theory of the five elements is the theory of dialectical thinking of the core ideas

ZhangJi Beijing university of Chinese medicine

China's traditional Chinese medicine reported

        Five line first out of the "of" hung fan: "five lines of water a day, two yue fire, three yue wood, four yue gold, five yue soil." Of the five elements and said in sex and attributes are: "water yue embellish, inflammation, wood on the fire yue yue, gold from the merits of soil hence, Japan JiaSe." This has the five elements of the line, abstract conceptual, said its functions, function of music that has stretched belongs to the wood, and has the function of hot up characteristics belong to fire, can grow and harvest everything belongs to the earth, gold can dissolve deformation, water down wet.

        Five lines of classified

        The universe is everything, in its five line attribute of classification, and make a multitude of things into orderly related to learn, that everything is the relationship between the five elements, so in order to understand the relationship between things that.

        The simple thought of dialectics, its classification method, that is, from things, the shape of the nature and function, the movement on the way with identity, similarity and use of law than take like, this includes both have the same or similar nature of the phenomenon of different things to a major categories; Additional, also can use changes deduction methods, such as the sun rises in the morning, early sun xiao, such as wood of the primary, and branches to tender stretch song, its flowering cyan, its fruit acid, is born to the body symbol of diseases, the nature and soft, sex of article xi, liver and consistency in the soft stretch muscles, music is stretched and symbol zang bile, easy to digest, symbol and two eyes smart, inspect content is clear, etc. The plain question should be like big · Yin and Yang of "five line category, such as" the east wind, the wind-born wood, wood born acid, acid was born, and liver tendon, liver born steel heart, liver advocate orders born in the day, for the xuan, in people, in ways for change, im five, the tao gave birth to wisdom, XuanSheng to god, and god in heaven, for in the wind for wood, in the body, for reinforcement in Tibetan for liver, in color, in the sound for ebon for Angle, in the sound for call, in changes for gripping, in for eye, opening in taste is sour, for anger in volunteers." These include natural sound, five, 5 color, the five, five, gas, five party, five season, in the human body including five zang-organs, five setting, facial features, form (five body), gentle disposition, five, changes (sick) and the other four lines by analogy, this will all things through up to five line of ecological law on the change of its evolution, is an integrative education form harmony. The human body the entirety as the center, is within five setting (quickly), five body, facial features, five, seven and five function activities system, can see five zang-organs function from external performance, can also from external five function shows that the function of the five zang-organs, how to display the overall concept of human life activities.

        Five line operation rule

        1. XiangShengXiangKe relationship: born in five line is said between normal physiological function in the mutual information is born, to promote each other and mutual encourage physical relationship. Of the five elements born in order: wood for the fire, fire generates, native gold, gold living water, aquatic wood. That means that a certain affairs, for another thing growth, development or its function and constraints can inhibit restriction role, this is normal function, which prevent the too. Five line phase g order is: wood can g soil, soil can g water, water, fire, fire can gram of gold, JinNengKe wood. What happened the restriction role each other, at first might original at the wood fire soil of the relationship between the primary jinshui material, such as "the white tiger justice," said: "wood for the fire, the wood, fire warm sex fell among them, the drill out fire is burning wood", this is the natural five line begets relationship, but applied to clinical improve the understanding level, and is about to five line concept increased to abstraction theory, so can not to natural material directly change, and to promote the material the function of their movement change each other so-called between five elements "spirit not quality", if quality cannot change, such as wood for the fire, that is born to each other, wood of wood of east liver, liver wood angry vitality exuberant, mainly in the human body in the liver, with the characteristic of diseases is technically the stores, the heart positive for the fire, and its function is the Lord god and adjust the Lord of sentiment, so ShuGan gas adjustable stores (situation over a), the heart HuoZhu sun be the spirit flourishing, spleen can warm, help them digest, spleen qi Lord biochemical Lord, the gas of the spleen excess fluid can be born to feed lung, lung tianjin moist, lung gold Lord devastation convergence, the sun be the spirit and a dive in kidney Yang, kidney v hiding, kidney Yin nourishing liver can accumulate full wood, this is five line of gasification and mutual nourish, so see growth of meaning, improved five line between mutual grams of high-level begets the relation.

        Of the five elements is restricted relations is also to "gas" function restriction, can not to the change of the original material. Such as wood g soil is refers to the liver zang wood spleen, spleen is not YuYi, do not delay warm, fire gram of gold that can be restricted lung of the exuberant stores have cold, too the devastation of the gas, water, soil, spleen and clear water and waterway pathogenesis, water can g fire that is to prevent a kidney Yin stores hyperactivity, JinKeMu lung is the gas of the devastation, prevent diseases, jade too. The · life plain question treasure all form of "say" wood to gold and fell, water, fire and earth to cut wood, of gold, of water and to fire, soil and absolutely, to all things altogether, without dried." Again with continual change character, "element asked · pulse to subtle theory", "in the spring and summer, the warm for the autumn and winter of the wrath of the passion for." Spring is warm for the summer the gradually, the warm spring summer for the quickly, so warm spring (born summer fire; Autumn winter for wrath of wrath gradually, winter nu for autumn of his fill, so the autumn of his gas, born in wrath of the winter water, this is the change of climate change within the existing conditions or factors. This all ascending the five elements theory significance of life grams, the response of the five elements gasification function, the relationship between self restraint, will complex things outside into simple easy to understand the relationship between things can be this relationship.

        XiangShengXiangKe is an integral part of the things develop two aspects, there is no life also have things happen and development; No g cannot maintain normal coordination of change and development, therefore, must be born in grams, g in life, is what a normal phenomenon. ZhangJieBin said: "the condition of the machine, do not be a born nor no system, nothing is to the detriment of development, no system is evil. And hyperactivity" The motion of things is a perennial, and from five line relationship is supplement each other, such as a party disorders, will lead to the birth of the dynamic relationship between g imbalance, affect the normal development of things, the grain asked · six micro purport big theory ", "the harm, tester is the same system, the system is biochemical, the ups and downs, harm is listed with disorderly, biochemical serious illness." Reaction things develop dynamic balance, the balance can lead to don't balance, not again in dynamic balance for balance, and balance and replaced by new balance, the balance-don't balance-balance, is that what many factors interact with each other, and push the development of things, reaction things the basic laws of development, no matter used in medical and social relations are so.

        2. Multiplication phase Wu relationship: multiplication phase Wu is five line between not too caused an abnormal phenomenon belongs to, in clinical pathologic states also.

        Multiplication is ChengXu and incoming, the strong bullying the weak, refers to the five elements of a bank of the-a line of excessive restraint, the order that is multiplied wood subjugates earth, soil by fire, and the fire by gold, gold by wood, and five line phase grams of order, just take the hit too to be g appear the sick, lose the dynamic balance. Wu is strong in the bullying the weak, it is phase g relationship, because a strong party appear the g phenomenon, but also a pathological state. The grain asked · five big operation of "said:" gas more than, the system and the others what wins Wu be; the less than, the f be Wu and by others as the, light and Wu win." Such as wood gas too is restraint f winners for a soil, namely wooden g soil too, wood gas make spleen, spleen did, in turn Wu its very (wood be gold) grams appeared at the stake of wood gold phenomenon, namely the Wu; If wood gas shortage appear f-(wood, earth) light and Wu, wood virtual the Wu, liver and spleen deficiency is the Wu, such as warm and make delay of spleen and stomach clinical liver, cause fatty liver, or food festival and cause liver cirrhosis, etc.

        In the application of five elements of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM)

        Five elements as philosophy concepts, it covers a very wide scope, permeate all aspects of traditional Chinese medicine, the unity of the external and internal environment first reflect, in nature, there are five party 5:00pm, five season, 5 color, five, five gas and human liver, quickly, five body, facial features, such as kidney should the north, winter climate for sealing hidden, completely in kidney essence should be hidden, the bone marrow, are associated with the hair.

        1. Between that and the physiology and pathology of relationship: five line of property can show of the five characteristics, such as liver belongs to the wood, wood article of soft touch can be stretched to music that makes people open heart diseases with peace, the soft character rise, easy to approach, signs of spirit pathogenesis is helping digestion and liver in five body advocate muscle, to the channels of diseases with soft, authority is easy to tune out the joints, and it can have the painstaking care, ShuGan health liver (wood wood), and the whole body of the zang-fu five body, the relationship between the seven emotions blood to unify, form the whole, and is convenient for clinical explain physiology, pathology.

        2. Five lines of restraint that relationship Wu by pathology: five line broken relationships or are not too restrained and pathological relationship that if kidney away (diabetes) appear thirsty, dry mouth, upset for the KangCheng stores by renal water, water shortage causes kidney dry mouth wait for disease, treatment should be clear water AIDS kidney stores; Be like again, soil wood, wood for the normal constraints, but restrict too would cause liver thief made soil, by liver wood the expense of spleen restraint, appear diet is not the nausea, bile gastric juice to reverse flow, two full bilge threat, spleen and warm sluggish symptoms, such as according to the five zang-organs, the law is born when the multiplication change is heavy, and the Wu phase change the illness is light, such as "the difficult by the release of say:" be g I are dirty air, this already phase system, but its force and to carry the evil influence, the cut will be very, it can be a thief thing." "The wins, I g, dirty gas is also subject to me, is the evil influence also cannot be induced, reason for the evil."

        The change of the five often also born in Wu by order, generation, such as "the meat asked · jade machine really dirty theory," said: "this cold guest in person, make the person HaoMao finish straight, skin and for hot, when it closed, and hair, or khan would be more sore, but soup iron and the fire of the thorn sticks and put into the lungs heal up, yue lung, hair well on gas attack and put cure namely the it liver, called liver disease initiative, a faint, stalking the food...... pain" , "put cure the disease of the liver, spleen, hair Dan wind called the spleen, stomach upset the yellow, heat cure of the spleen... put kidney disease, called hernia, the lower abdomen any cause thermal and pain, the white one, called method for the Florida... the anxiety, kidney channels brought and worry, the disease is called Chi,...... put to full ten days, when death. Law" The disease was a minor, belong to the exterior syndrome, because the disease for lost, its the increasingly serious change, change by pathogenic initiative and not treated cough lung, and liver disease to appear in liver bi, stalking, pain vomit food, don't appear therapeutic spleen wind disease, a yellow fever disease, don't put to appear hernia, method of the disease any expansion, and eventually reached the kidney appear gas convulsion, another 10 days or death, from the time the change to see liver disease recurrence by pathogenic and finally to the method of expansion, appears ascites liver cirrhosis, and finally to the whole body muscle spasms and death. For some disease that the change very accord with the development of the disease, the treatment should be "see the liver disease of yourselves, spleen, spleen and not be flourishing and block the change the process, the treatment method is very realistic significance. Therefore, the theory of the five elements to guide the diagnosis and treatment is very meaningful, such as "the meat asked · pulse to subtle big theory," said: "the chakras, subtle, you have the discipline was was, from the beginning, the Yin and Yang of the beginning by the five elements, born, was born at regularly, as appropriate." That all can reveal the inspection with the five elements view gas explain a disease, inspection can be deduced from illness, such as "the spirit that five coffins · five read" article in to say "lung disease, breathing the nose of liver disease; the angular green, the spleen sick lip; m tongue roll the yellow short, YanChi; the kidney disease, and yan black ophthalmic." That is, from that of the five zang-organs and inspection income disease. In treatment can according to the actual application of the five five line, make treatment law born, such as "the difficult to the" yue "virtual reality, but her mother is diarrhoea, like son." The grain asked · jade machine really dirty theory ":" five zang-organs are interlinked, move is a time, completely, then each the sick the win." For the way that disease is more than in the entirety restraint and change the way, to provide ideas for treatment, the later in life, according to five line way out "zi water han wood" "those born gold" "jinshui phase life", with g manner "strong water system fire" "helped soil or water" "FuJinPing wood" "ShuGan spleen" treatment such as principle, greatly enriched the five line under the guide of the treatment.
