In Huangdi Neijing? In Lingshu, the Yellow Emperor divided the yang-biased constitution into the sun constitution and the yang-deficient constitution, that is, the fire-type man and the wood-type man.
Fire-type people, that is, sun people. Generally, the body is pointed and long, and the face is red, yellow or red and white. Small head, sharp face, good shoulder shape and small hands and feet. Most of these people are enthusiastic and adventurous, but they like exaggeration, vanity and pride. Moreover, he is complacent and not self-conscious, likes to speak loudly, does not talk empty words, is ambitious but often unrealistic, often overconfident and impulsive, and does not know how to repent even if he fails.
Woodenhead, also known as Shaoyang. Generally slender, pale, small head, long face, big shoulders, straight body and small hands and feet. This kind of person is tall and thin. When standing, they hold their heads high, when walking, they swing from side to side, and when standing, they put their hands behind their backs. Generally generous and fair, able to cooperate with people and be good at interpersonal communication, but I don't like to bury myself in work, like to resist and refuse to accept people, and I am easy to contradict, fickle and unstable.
Just like this lady who came to my clinic, she is a fire-type person with a yang constitution. Such people are sensitive to wind, summer heat and heat, and are prone to high blood pressure and heart disease after suffering from evil spirits.
People with yang constitution, that is, fire-type people and wood-type people, should give priority to rest and yang suppression when preserving health. Keep calm and don't do too much exercise. Usually eat more cold foods, such as purslane, Chinese cabbage, day lily, watermelon, bitter gourd, melon, kelp, laver, pear, banana and so on.
Yin-biased constitution

People with this constitution are more likely to be fat and weak, their body temperature is slightly lower than normal people, they are afraid of cold, like heat, pale and less shiny, have poor energy, are prone to fatigue, slow action and slow response.

I have a patient with tuberculous peritonitis who only comes to see me when he has ascites. I said, "You have been ill for half a year. If you delay for another two months, maybe I won't be able to save you. This disease has many early symptoms. Why do you come to see a doctor now? "
The patient was very wronged and said, "Dr. Wu, I really have no symptoms in the past six months." I ate and drank Lazar, and everything was normal. You say it's inflammation to have a fever, but I just didn't catch a cold for half a year, so I was delayed ... "
After listening to him, I didn't blame him. This patient is a typical yin-leaning physique, because people with yin-leaning physique are sensitive to the evil of cold and dampness, and often show no fever or low fever after suffering from the evil, which is easy to spread to the internal organs or go straight to the internal organs. People with this constitution have more yang deficiency and weaker function of internal organs. So this patient has no symptoms of fever after getting inflammation.
In Huangdi Neijing? In Lingshu, Yin-biased physique can be divided into Taiyin physique and Shaoyin physique, that is, water-type people and gold-type people.
Water people, that is, lunar people. People with this constitution are generally in good shape, with dark skin, large head, uneven face, narrow or small shoulders, large abdomen, and limbs like to move. Water-type people are weak, inactive, argumentative, helpful, adaptable and introverted, and can adapt to everything. Such people also have strong harmony and compromise, persuasive, sympathetic, sensitive, modest, obedient, gentle, original, artistic, willing to be inferior, quiet, gentle, and have strong variability in the field of habits, but such people are prone to inferiority, crying, depression, indecision and so on.
Gold people, that is, less Yin people. Such people are generally square in shape, with white skin, small head, round face, small shoulders, flat abdomen and small hands and feet. People with this constitution have strong dominance and control, creativity, ideas, self-motivation, strong goals and often dignified temperament. Golden people are generally firm, decisive, generous, self-sustaining, far-sighted, far-sighted, independent and unwilling to compromise. But these people are usually stubborn, comparative and self-centered.
Yin constitution, that is, water-type people and gold-type people should give priority to mental recuperation when keeping in good health, that is, people with this constitution should be proactive and mentally prepared, and often can really achieve the desired results. People with yang constitution can usually eat more positive foods, such as pepper, dried ginger, coriander, dog meat, mutton, mustard, pumpkin, garlic, litchi, longan, oranges and so on. After such combination adjustment, people with yin constitution can gradually become people with peace of yin and yang.
Yin-yang peace constitution
Some friends may ask, I think I am a bit like Yang constitution and Yin constitution, but not all of them. So what is my constitution? If the two constitutions mentioned above seem to have both and none, then you are a peaceful constitution of yin and yang.
Peace of yin and yang is the healthiest constitution. This kind of people are usually moderately fat, with good complexion, bright eyes and easy-going and cheerful personality. They are not easily influenced by external evils and are not easy to get sick. Even if you are sick, you will recover quickly. Full of energy, good sleep and high work efficiency. People with this constitution generally live longer if they are nursed well.
People with a peaceful constitution of Yin and Yang belong to the indigenous people in the five elements, and they are the most harmonious and balanced people of Yin and Yang. Most of these people are stocky, with yellow skin, big heads, round faces, big bellies and small hands and feet. Such people tend to be neutral, comprehensive, upright and honest, but their thoughts are not active enough, slow and conservative, slow to respond and not pioneering.
