Zhai Shuangqing Beijing University of Chinese Medicine

China's traditional Chinese medicine reported

        " Yin and Yang Yin, as big" cloud:" said: this two? Qibo said: to know the seven impairments and eight supplements, two are adjustable, I do not know this, the festival is also a premature senility." The" two" refers to the Yin and Yang, pointed out that "the seven impairments and eight supplements" is the key to balance yin and yang. But for" seven impairments and eight supplements" understanding, the understanding of very inconsistent, difference is quite big. In accordance with the scholars interpretation, can be divided into the following several aspects.

        The symptoms of the disease to Yin and Yang as Cuong said:" Yang Shangshan too element, yin and Yang, yin and Yang Yin" according to" like" something" Sheng Yang is hot, cou reason closed, with coarse to pitch, sweat out while hot, dry to bother tooth loss, abdominal fullness, death can not, winter summer; Yin is cold, sweating, body count Chang Qing, chestnut and cold, cold is faint, syncope, abdominal fullness, death can not winter, summer " on," Yang wins eight benefits into real, Yin wins and seven loss as virtual," eight benefits" Yang Sheng" refers to the body heat, closed, crude, cou reason with pitch, sweat out heat, dry, irritated or tooth, abdominal fullness and died in 8 symptoms, seven loss refers to the" Yin" body cold, sweating, body count, Chang Qing, chestnut cold, syncope, abdominal fullness and died in 7 symptoms. Yang said to Yin and Yang as the key link to the symptoms of the disease were classified, emphasizing the Yin and Yang of analysis, understanding of critical illness, is the so-called" Yin and Yang Yin, like" something" good diagnosis, observation of complexion massage don't Yin and Yang, yin and Yang" to become the eight outlines the general programme has played a positive role in promoting. But as for the " seven impairments and eight supplements " specific understanding, there are still some problems, one is the" number of Yin Li and Han " demolition two loss, while Yang Sheng" sweat out heat " can be a beneficial, have strong put seven or eight number two is too; and below balance yin and Yang method righteousness not through, therefore is not for physicians to adopt.

        Growth process and regularity of said: Wang Bing based on" on ancient naive theory"," woman two seven days, to help, to nowadays, husband of Tiangui to two eight, energy spilling " discuss, think seven loss refers to the woman menstrual expensive to nowadays, eight benefits refers to men this is full of so-called" essence, however, Yin seven damage, then the sea full of blood from under eight should benefit; Yang, rendezvous and creampie. It is seven impairments and eight supplements, and just know". Wu Kun" Su Wen Wu note" also pointed out:" the seven loss, woman Tiangui to seven period, two seven period of Tiangui to, to nowadays, Yin blood often lose, so seven loss; eight good men, in eight Ji, two eight and Tiangui to spill, Qi, Yang excess the loss, no menstruation, so eight benefits." To this, Zhang Jiebin" class by the yin-yang" had countered: " by Kai Xuan son note this, that female Yin seven damage, then the sea full of blood from below; male Yang eight should benefit, rendezvous and fine to vent, to words solution for sexual intercourse. However, blood should be adjusted, not at all loss, rendezvous fine relief, why to say so beneficial?" Actually, Wang and Wu is the" seven impairments and eight supplements" solution for human growth and development process and rule. The Dan wave element Jane" general" on", according to the ancient innocence theory on" the men and women of growth and development process, to the growth stage for the benefit of the aging stage, for the loss as a solution, that woman aged seven, two seven, three seven, four seven and two eight men aged eight, three eight, four eight, a total of eight benefits, woman from five seven to seven seven, men from five eight to eight eight, a total of seven. Put forward clearly " seven impairments and eight supplements" for human growth and development process and rule.

        The Yin and Yang of said:" by Zhang Jiebin," from the Yin and Yang in Yin Yang number angle, pointed out:" the number seven as Shaoyang Shaoyin, eight is a number. Seven bad words Yang disappear gradually, eight good words Yin long by. Fu Yang, the origin of life and death, students from almost Yang, Yang not disappear; death from between Yin Yin, it also." Conversely, namely the failure by. Here according to the "book of changes" Zhang Yang into Yin Yin and Yang in a few back saying, "seven " means" little number"," eight" refers to" the lesser Yin number", with its own supporting yang and Yin academic view undertook analysis. Zhang Zhicong" a" on from Zhang Jiebin's view on the contrary, he thought:" woman with seven men in eight Ji, Ji, seven impairments and eight supplements, Yan Yang Yin deficiency often more often. However, Yang in Yin essence, know Yin essence deficiency, and make its deficit, two are adjustable." Visible two that is based on" Yin,"" the Sun Ming Yang Tao, vaginal virtual" understanding from different angles and. People have had from seven or eight viscera into several, in Los book number nine azimuth diagram as the number of location and interpretation. The argument that the" seven impairments and eight supplements" reflect" after four" obedience and treatment and health thought, embodies the idea of" correspondence between man and nature".

        The art in the room said:" in the" early in the Han bamboo slips unearthed in Changsha Mawangdui" the world" to talk clearly describes the" seven impairments and eight supplements" content, the paper said:" there are eight benefits of gas, and seven grandchildren ( loss). Cannot use eight benefits, to seven sun ( loss), then the life forty and have since half, fifty and sixty but not living decline, and onion ( Cong ) Ming, seventy dry off, have not cry ( stream ), saliva left out. To the rejuvenation of has, to seven losses to the disease with eight vibration, beneficial to the gas, so the old rejuvenation, strong man ... ... Eight benefits: day treatment gas, said two to three Mo, said Chile (know), said four livestock gas, five day and six day Mo, theft ( product ) gas, said seven temple (to be ) win ( surplus ), said eight set are ( bend ). Seven sun (damage ): when closed, two day release, said three exhaust, four day do not bother, five days, six days, seven day fee." The Dan wave Kang Lai" medicine" from the" heart" of the real secret of jade and the approximation. Visible" seven impairments and eight supplements" refers to the ancient house of, namely 8 kinds of beneficial to human behavior and 7 kinds of harm to human behavior. Although each for seven damage, eight benefits of specific behavior understanding not one, but were emphasized, guided by breathing, keep the spirit of full, adjust their psychosomatic condition, avoid panic dump for the key. On century 80 time since Changsha Mawangdui Han bamboo slips unearthed since, most scholars follow the saying.

        From the original context and textual research," seven impairments and eight supplements" refers to the ancient fangzhongshu has some truth, but we think that others are talking about that is a regular thing, and" seven impairments and eight supplements" is the key to balance yin and yang are not contradictory, but also to the understanding of human life, guiding people health prevention diseases also have a certain significance, also should cause the attention of people. In fact," Huang Di Nei Jing" put forward the " seven impairments and eight supplements", also not to simply refer to the room in the home of the art in the room, it is theoretical, abstract, and rise to the Yin and Yang world changes perspective, understanding, application summary. Concept formation, mainly from the ancients" away from" the astronomical, meteorological, phenology and other natural phenomena observation and thinking, but also with " close to take the" sexual reproductive phenomenon has relations. Joseph Needham in the" ancient Chinese history of scientific thought" pointed out:" Chinese scientific or original scientific thought : the universe has two kinds of basic principle or force, i.e., yin and Yang, the Yin and Yang of the concept, but from human sexual experience on positive and negative projection." The modern also somebody thinks, this is said to have stated reason, put forward the " Yin and Yang" a basic meaning, is sexual," Yin and Yang" Tao "is its philosophical generalization. " Yin and Yang Yin, as big" pointed out:" Yang, men and women also flesh." The Yin and Yang, known as male and female, also proved this point. From" Yin and Yang Yin, as big" and" early in the world to talk about" text, the two are closely linked, so," the" will" seven impairments and eight supplements" quote, and further sublimation to Yin and Yang Earth changes, is also a good thing to understand.
