Knowing what constitution is and the classification of constitution depends on the relationship between constitution and psychology and the characteristics of psychological activities of different constitutions.

Modern health view holds that health is not only the absence of disease, but also a healthy psychological state and a healthy social adaptation state.

Physical fitness is the result of the combined action of congenital and acquired factors, which is gradually formed by individuals under specific historical and social conditions, or has distinctive characteristics of the times.

Therefore, as an important means of disease treatment and health care, physical conditioning should also keep pace with the times.

As early as the Eastern Han Dynasty, the famous doctor Hua Tuo put forward that "a good doctor should treat the heart first and then the body".

It fully shows that Chinese medicine attaches great importance to psychological adjustment.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the main physiological function of the heart is mainly blood vessels, mainly hiding spirits.

"Su Wen. "The Theory of Eight Righteousness Gods" said: "The flesh and blood, the god of man, must be raised."

"Soul fulcrum. The god said, "He who makes things into hearts."

Based on the leading role of the heart in the whole body, Ling Lan said in Su Wen Mi Jing: "The heart is the official of the monarch." "The great master of the five internal organs."

This is because the physiological functions of the whole body, such as viscera, body surface, and official orifices, must be controlled and regulated by the heart and work together to complete the overall activities.

As the saying goes, "Governance leads to safety, and health leads to longevity." "If you don't take charge of the Ming Dynasty, you will be in danger of twelve officials." "

Since 1980s, psychosomatic diseases caused by psychological problems have become one of the important reasons that seriously damage public health.

Well-known diseases such as essential hypertension, coronary heart disease, diabetes, bronchial asthma and gastric ulcer all belong to psychosomatic diseases.

In the process of the formation of psychosomatic diseases, psychological factors are the inducement of diseases, and also the factors that promote and aggravate diseases.

For non-psychosomatic diseases, psychological factors are also one of the causes that cannot be ignored.

No matter what kind of disease, a good positive and optimistic mental state is conducive to its treatment and recovery, while a negative and pessimistic mental state is not only unfavorable to treatment, but may also aggravate the condition.

With the transformation of biomedical model to "bio-psychological-social" medical model, medical care and disease treatment are increasingly individualized.

Physique itself is an important response to individualization, so "adjusting the body" should also respect the differences of individualization.

Individual differences are not only reflected in external aspects such as physical structure, but also in psychological aspects.

The most prominent representatives of western scholars' research on physique and psychology are American medical doctor and psychologist Sheldon and German psychiatrist and psychologist Creitz Schmer.

Sheldon put forward the theory of personality types, which divided people into endoderm, mesoderm and ectoderm according to their constitution.

Endodermal people are short and fat, like to make friends, slow, generous and carefree.

Ectodermal people are tall, thin, thoughtful, introverted, timid and like art.

Mesoderms are strong, well-proportioned, energetic, confident, bold and aggressive.

Creitz Schmmer put forward the theory of constitution types.

He believes that people with long limbs and short trunk are prone to schizophrenia, people with short and thick limbs are prone to bipolar disorder, and people with strong bodies are prone to epilepsy.

At the same time, the first kind of people are overly sensitive and taciturn; The second kind of people are good at communication, but their temperament is changeable; The third kind of people are stubborn, slow, conservative and fierce.

Chinese medicine believes that any kind of physique is composed of physical factors and psychological factors.

This point was fully reflected in the constitution theory of Huangdi Neijing as early as.

Huangdi Neijing classifies physique types by combining individual morphological characteristics, physiological functions and psychological characteristics, and systematically and comprehensively discusses the personality and psychological characteristics of different physique types.

The most representative of this is the theory of Yin and Yang personality and physique.

Lingshu Tian Tong divided the crowd into five physical types according to the differences of human body's yin and yang endowments, psychological personality and appearance characteristics, and pointed out that the five types of people are different in personality and psychological characteristics.

According to the theory of Huangdi Neijing, Xue compiled the Five-State Personality Test, which was included in the Dictionary of Psychology. Five-state people represent the strength, flexibility, balance, persistence and tendency of people's reaction to things from the perspective of trait theory.

Its various personality characteristics are:

People in the sun are not afraid of blows, resolute, brave, passionate, enterprising, dare to stick to their own views, dare to refute, arrogant, for personal use, subjective impulse, ambition, courage, willfulness and irritability.

Young people: sociable, sociable, cheerful, agile and optimistic, witty, easy-going, action-oriented, casual, like to talk and laugh, unwilling to be quiet and active, difficult to persist in doing things, frivolous and changeable.

People in the lunar calendar: modest in appearance, suspicious in heart, thoughtful, pessimistic and disappointed, timid, indecisive, keeping a certain distance from others, introspecting loneliness, unwilling to contact people, not liking exciting things, selfish, deciding their own direction according to the success or failure of others first, and refusing to take the lead.

People with less yin: calm, thoughtful but not exposed, good at distinguishing right from wrong, strong self-control, high vigilance, planning, not acting rashly, cautious, careful, tolerant, jealous and cowardly.

A person with a peaceful yin and yang: a person with a peaceful mind, dignity and modesty, good taste but no disorder, no drama and no emotion, a calm life, no confusion by things, selflessness and fearlessness, no hardship, no complacency, and a person with high balance ability.

Huangdi Neijing also has a method of classification according to the five elements.

It is pointed out in Twenty-five Houses of Yin and Yang that the relationship between physical quality and psychological quality is more specific, that is to say, a certain physical quality always shows a certain psychological tendency.

According to the five elements, it divides people into five basic types: wood, fire, earth, gold and water. On the basis of the classification of five elements, it combines five tones (angle, sign, palace, quotient and feather). Five types of wood, fire, earth, gold and water are classified according to the fact that there are too few five tones, yin and yang attributes, the left and right meridians of three yang meridians of hands and feet, and the difference of qi and blood.

Each type includes morphological characteristics and personality psychological characteristics, so it is called "twenty-five people"

Woodenhead's personality and psychological characteristics are smart, easy to use, weak in physical strength and full of worries.

Mainly wood-like, known as the man of the upper corner, characterized by graceful and gentle.

Its four subtypes are unnatural. Among them, those with big horns are modest, those with left horns are easy-going and obedient, those with right horns are hardworking and enterprising, and those who judge horns are upright.

The personality and psychological characteristics of the fire-shaped people are that when walking, they are physically anxious, mentally anxious, courageous and despise property, but they have less credit, more anxiety, sharp judgment and impatience.

Angry people are the main type and are called arrogant people. He is characterized by paying attention to practical results and a clear and profound understanding.

Its four subtypes are those full of internal heat. Among them, people with poor quality have shallow knowledge, people with little knowledge are suspicious and considerate, people who are brave and unwilling to lag behind, and people who evaluate them are optimistic and complacent.

The personality and psychological characteristics of native people are steady pace, winning people's trust in doing things, quiet but not impatient, being good at helping others, not fighting for power and profit, and being good at getting along with others.

Mainly rustic, they are called palace goers, and their characteristics are sincerity and integrity.

Its four subtypes are rustic people, in which the people in Otomiya are peaceful and obedient, the people in Otomiya are happy, the people in Otomiya are smooth and flexible, and the people in Zuogong are very opinionated.

The character and psychological characteristics of Jin people are honesty, impatience and strong action and management ability.

Rich is the main type, called businessmen, characterized by tenacity and fortitude.

Its four subtypes are those who are not very rich. Among them, those who are too businessmen are honest and self-controlled, and they are chic and soothing to businessmen. Those who are big businessmen distinguish right from wrong, and those who are few businessmen are dignified and solemn.

The character and psychological characteristics of Shuixing people are disrespectful and fearless, and they are good at fraud.

People who are full of water are the main types, called Shangyu people, and their characteristics are humility.

Its four subtypes are those full of water, among which the big feathers are often complacent, the few feathers are depressed and introverted, the many feathers are quiet and honest, and the small feathers are stable and quiet.

The above is the five-element classification of personality. This classification first points out the * * * of people in the five elements, and then analyzes their different personalities, thus distinguishing many specific situations, so its specific adaptability is wider and more targeted.

Visible, in the spiritual pivot. Twenty-five intersex people, each person's physical quality is related to five different psychological tendencies. There are 25 psychological types in the five constitutions of wood, fire, earth, gold and water, and the classification method of constitution embodies the idea of "the unity of form and spirit", which is a prominent feature of TCM constitution science.

The constitution classification we shared is based on the Constitution Classification and Judgment of China (No.ZYXH/T157-2009) published by Chinese Medicine Society on March 26th, 2009. This standard is closer to the actual physical condition of China people at present, so the classification of nine physical conditions of China people is more practical and effective than that of Huangdi Neijing.
