between China's original theory

-friend Mr Liu gang the people's hospital of Beijing university

    Yin and Yang are characteristic of traditional Chinese medicine with the unity of opposites between theory, and some people don't agree with this statement, think the theory of yin-yang, not to the unity of the opposites theory, on June 22, 2011 the China traditional Chinese medicine news version 4 "theory, Yin and Yang is not" theory of the unity of opposites of holding this theory that penny (hereinafter referred to as "Marvin"). The author thinks that, the theory of yin-yang is the unity of opposites between the original Chinese, with the general self-contradict theory meanings, but not equal to and contradiction. Contradiction between the two sides of the opposite and uniformity are inseparable, Yin and Yang of the opposite and uniformity is defined; each other That is a unity of opposites between the unity of the opposites, unity is. Because the Yin and Yang for any understanding Marvin related or not related entities of the two part, and again "in the same unity of understanding" for two opposing part must be in the same entity is internal, so for the not in the same specific things within the "Yin" and "Yang" can only "opposites" and "not" the unity of the opposites' "this is some of the examples.

    Marvin for example "of a leaf for the Yin of the Yin and b leaf for Yang Yang of the, the pair of Yin and Yang is only 'opposition' relationship relationship". In fact, a leaf of the Yin is under for themselves for Yang relative made and unification relations, and leaves no relationship, and b were not there to opposite relationship; As for the emperor qin shi huang Yang and for the female, and not the same relationship between Yin and Yang and men and women. Mr. Ma forget the law of the unity of opposites is the basic condition of intrinsic differences between what the differences can be contradictory. And the only difference between the external things, far from opposition, was also far from unity. As the sun and the hen's stone belly has no intrinsic differences, it can't say the opposite, of course also is Yin and Yang no unified.

    Marvin said "from a medical perspective, qiu dong cold" Yin "the Yin of the environment for can be" invade the human body hurt "Yang, the human body can't possibly 'invade Yang injury' environment Yin. From philosophical Angle, because for the environment of qiu dong cold Yin Yin and Yang of the human body the pair of Yin and not in the same unity, therefore, the pair of Yin and Yang is only 'opposition' relationship relationship, not the unity of the opposites' relationship." This conclusion, "said Marvin Yin and Yang is' the definition of the unity of opposites" cannot be established ". The author thinks that, when the qiu dong said to "environment", the so-called qiu dong environment and human body are "the same unity in", then environment for people have "assault hurt", and in turn, the human body for the environment "assault hurt" also have to resist, this is the relationship of the unity of opposites. Not because the human body "impossible" invade Yang injury 'environment Yin "this one, it is completely negative people and the environment are in" one unity." Speak of traditional Chinese medicine "nature and humanity", and the "nature and humanity" is the unity of opposites between environment and people.

    Yin and Yang as "all", the main field is about a universality, the relations between the way of heaven and earth. "Yin and Yang, the famous and the invisible", so, Yin and Yang are metaphysical dialectics, not an entity's composition and classification. When the Yin and Yang of the relationship, the unity of the opposites relations must establish; But the Yin and Yang is only for part of the unity of opposites between the relationship between things expression, some of the unity of opposites is cannot use the relationship between Yin and Yang and Yin and Yang, so the summarize cannot completely replace paradoxes, such as quantitative change and the qualitative change, necessary and accidental, reasons and results of contradictions, and five elements and the relations are not summary of Yin and Yang.
