The relationship between yin-yang and five elements in TCM is a unified whole, which consists of various parts. Traditional Chinese medicine divides the structure of human body into three parts: viscera, meridians, qi and blood, and body fluid. They have different physiological functions in human body, but they are closely related. Among them, zang-fu organs are the center of human life activities, while qi and blood are produced by the functional activities of zang-fu organs and are also the material basis of human physiological activities. They are distributed to the whole body through meridians, supplying the body with the need to maintain life, thus forming a unified organic whole.
Heart-the main blood? Is it on the face? Blood has the function of nourishing the whole body, and pulse is the channel through which blood runs; The mind (brain) hides the God, which refers to people's spiritual consciousness and thinking activities. The heart begins to understand the tongue. Tongue is a seedling of the heart? .
Liver-mainly stores blood, and the liver has the functions of storing blood and regulating blood flow. Liver governs excretion, emotion and digestion. The main muscle of the liver, is it in the claws? The tendons (claws) of the whole body are nourished by the yin blood of the liver. The liver began to understand the eyes.
Spleen-the main transport, spleen has the physiological functions of digestion, absorption and transport of nutrients, including transport of Shui Gu essence and transport of water. ? Temper rising? Or? Spleen governing ascending and clearing? . Spleen governs blood. Spleen governs muscles and limbs. The spleen opens in the mouth. Is it beautiful in the lips? .
Lung-governs qi, breath, whole body qi and breath. Lung hair, external use, fur. Lung governs descending and conducts water. The lungs lead to the nose.
Kidney (Attached to Life Gate)-storing essence is the basic substance of human life and stored in the kidney. Essence can transform qi, qi can produce essence, and vitality is abundant. Kidney governs water, and kidney is the main organ for managing water-liquid metabolism; The kidney controls reproduction, growth and development. Kidney governs bone, produces marrow, opens brain, stores sperm, and can produce marrow, including spinal cord and bone marrow. The kidney controls the absorption of qi, and the kidney has the function of fixing the qi inhaled by the lung. The kidney opens to the ear and the second yin. ? Is Qihua in her hair? .
Bile-stores and excretes bile to help digest food. Bile comes from the liver, and the secretion and excretion of bile can not be separated from the catharsis function of the liver, so the liver and gallbladder are the leading diarrhea.
Stomach-accepts food and drinks for preliminary digestion. This function can be attributed to? Accepted? And then what? Rotten? Shui Gu two aspects. Stomach governs meridian descending, so as to reduce it to harmony.
Small intestine-the function of digestion and absorption, embodied in? Recognized chemicals? 、? Do not secrete turbidity? .
Large intestine-conducts dregs, excretes feces and absorbs some water.
Bladder-stores and excretes urine. In the final analysis, the pathological changes of bladder are mostly related to the gasification function of kidney.
Triple energizer-the function of being energetic, breathing and distributing nutrition; Medium coke, the functions of digestion, absorption and metaplasia of blood; Lower energizer can distinguish turbid secretion from excreting feces.
In a word, man is an extremely complex organic unity, and there are structural and functional connections between zang-fu organs and body. The five elements of nature are mutually generated and restricted, so are the five elements of our human body.
Sang sang? They breed, promote and encourage each other. That is, the liver is good and the heart is good; Good heart, good spleen; Spleen is good, lung is good; Good lungs and good kidneys; Kidney is good, liver is good.
Pilgrims? Restrict, restrain and overcome each other. That is, if the kidney function is not good, the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases will be bad. Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular function declines, and it will return to the lungs and liver. If the liver is not good, it will return to the spleen and stomach. People with poor liver function can't eat greasy things and finally return to the kidney.
Blue is good for eyes (clearing liver and improving eyesight), red is good for heart (strengthening heart and benefiting qi), yellow is good for spleen (strengthening spleen and nourishing stomach), white is good for moistening lung (moistening lung and resolving phlegm), and black is good for strengthening kidney (tonifying kidney and replenishing essence).
Anger hurts the liver, happiness hurts the spleen, sadness hurts the lungs, and panic hurts the kidney.
Spring is sour, summer is bitter, autumn is spicy and winter is salty; (sour hurts tendons, bitter hurts tendons, sweet hurts meat, salty hurts blood)
Relationship between Yin-Yang and Five Elements in TCM 1. correlation
Wood can be used as fuel for making a fire. A good liver circulation system can promote the normal operation of the cardiac circulation system.
Fire produces soil, which vividly uses the sun's irradiation on the ground. More than 100 million years later, fossils can be used as a metaphor for soil. A good cardiac circulatory system can promote the normal operation of the spleen circulatory system.
Gold comes from soil, and metal comes from soil. Spleen circulation system is good, which can promote the normal operation of pulmonary circulation system.
Gold produces water, which we can see in nature. Where there are stones, there is water. Trees can grow on mountains with stone structures, because cracks in rocks can make water rise to the top. So everyone has it? How high are the mountains and the water? Said. But trees can't grow on mountains with soil structure, because soil can block water and prevent water from going up, so the high slope of loess in northwest China is exposed. Stone contains a lot of metal elements, and the ancients summarized this phenomenon as golden water. Good pulmonary circulation system can promote the normal operation of renal circulation system.
In aquatic wood, trees depend on water to grow. Good renal circulation system can promote the normal operation of liver circulation system.
Step 2 respect each other
Water can put out the fire, but water can put out the fire. The renal circulatory system is not good, and the cardiac circulatory system gradually enters an abnormal state, such as renal heart disease. However, water can't stop the fire from getting out of control.
Fire can dissolve gold. If the cardiac circulatory system is not good, the pulmonary circulatory system will gradually enter an abnormal state, such as cardiopulmonary failure and so on. However, fire cannot make gold, so metal is useless.
Jin Kemu, gold can hurt wood. If the pulmonary circulatory system is not good, the hepatic circulatory system will gradually enter an abnormal state, such as hyperactivity of liver yang caused by lung yin deficiency. But gold can't be wood. The wood is crazy.
Muketu, the seeds of trees break through the ground. If the liver circulatory system is not good, the spleen circulatory system will gradually enter an abnormal state, such as disharmony between liver and stomach. However, if the soil is not restricted by vegetation, it will be desertification again.
Soil can block water, and soil can block water from running. If the spleen circulatory system is not good, the renal circulatory system will gradually enter an abnormal state, such as nephropathy caused by spleen deficiency. But if the soil can't keep the water, the water will flood again.
3. Multiplication relation
Multiplication means that there are too many contradictions, which are beyond the normal restriction. Only when things are balanced can they be balanced, otherwise there will be a chain imbalance. For example, lung (gold) is too old, liver (wood) is damaged, or spleen (soil) is damaged, or lung (gold) is injured by fire.
Step 4 reject the relationship
It is normal for the five zang-organs to intersect. For example, lung (gold) gives birth to kidney (water), and kidney collects lung qi. Analogy between the five zang-organs can form a virtuous circle. On the contrary, dirty and dirty do not accept each other, that is, they gradually evolve into pathological conditions. Refuse to accept: wood does not meet water, water does not meet gold, gold does not meet soil, soil does not meet fire, and fire does not meet wood. Chinese medicine theory? Childhood diseases and mothers? .
The phenomenon of soil erosion can be used as a metaphor. If trees are cut down in some places, the vegetation is destroyed and water cannot be absorbed, which will lead to disasters such as mountain torrents, landslides and mudslides. Similarly, if the liver does not accept the kidney, the circulatory system of the kidney will gradually enter an abnormal state, such as nephropathy caused by liver depression and qi stagnation.
Water does not contain gold, running water does not rot, and stagnant water stinks, which will hurt gold utensils for a long time. The lung is the water on the kidney. If the kidney does not absorb the lung, the renal circulatory system will gradually enter an abnormal state, such as asthma, emphysema and hydronephrosis.
Gold does not contain soil. Soil breeds metal elements, including trace elements, which support plants. If the metal refuses to accept the support of the soil, it will not exist and the soil will become useless. If the lungs can't absorb the spleen, the transportation function of the spleen will be abnormal, such as malnutrition.
There is a phenomenon in the northern stove that the soil does not collect fire: the stove is covered with a layer of wet soil. When the soil is not dry, the coal is easily extinguished after being ignited in the stove, because at this time? The earth cannot accept fire? . When the wet mud is dry, coal can ignite a strong flame because it is already? Tucna fire? Yes People with poor spleen and stomach can cause heart disease, and even overeating in the elderly can lead to tachycardia and even insufficient blood supply to the heart.
If the fire doesn't catch the wood, the wood can only be converted into energy after burning. If the fire goes out, the movement of wood to convert energy will be hindered. If the heart is abnormal, it will cause hepatobiliary diseases for a long time.
5. Anti-bullying relationship
As mentioned above, the five elements resist each other, but sometimes there will be anti-gram phenomenon. Anti-gram is also called. Anti-aggression? ,? Insult? This is an insult. For example, wood against gold, gold against fire, fire against water, water against soil and soil against wood.
Wood turns against gold, and gold can hurt wood. Under normal circumstances, wood can't hurt gold, but it can also hurt gold when wood burns. Excessive liver fire can hurt the lungs. What's this called? Wood burning gold? .
Gold against fire, fire can hurt gold. Under normal circumstances, gold can't suppress fire, but sometimes it can. For example, in a stove in the north, as long as the iron chimney is blocked on the tiemenguan at the air inlet, gold can put out the fire. Long-term lung failure can lead to heart failure.
Fire collides with water, but water can put out the fire. Under normal circumstances, fire can't kill water, but fire is bigger than water and can also boil water dry. Long-term bad heart will also damage the kidneys, leading to water depletion in the kidneys.
Water reacts on soil, and soil can make water. Generally speaking, water can't break the earth, but when the water is big, it can also break through the earth embankment. Long-term renal failure can also damage the spleen, making people's spleen and stomach function decline.
Soil can resist wood, and wood can resist soil. Generally, soil can't resist wood, but too thick a soil layer can also suppress tree species so that they can't break ground and die. Long-term bad spleen and stomach will hurt the liver and gallbladder.
Looking at the above-mentioned relationships of mutual generation, mutual resistance, multiplication, mutual repulsion and opposition, we can see that the changes of various relationships of the five internal organs of the human body are both regular and changeable, and we must treat them dialectically and simplify them. The dialectical method is to grasp a center and observe four aspects.
The theory of yin-yang and five elements in traditional Chinese medicine (1) The relationship between yin-yang and human anatomical parts: the upper part of the human body is yang and the lower part is yin; The body surface is yang, and the body is yin; The back is yang and the chest is yin; The outer side of the limbs is yang and the inner side is yin; Skin is yang, bones and muscles are yin; The gallbladder, small intestine, stomach, large intestine, bladder, triple energizer and six fu organs belong to yang, while the liver, heart, spleen, lung and kidney belong to yin.
(2) The relationship between Yin and Yang and human physiology: Human health depends on the harmony of Yin and Yang. As Neijing said:? Yin Pingyang is the secret, and the spirit is the rule? . After eating and drinking enough, the human body transports nutrients to all parts of the body through the decomposition and transportation of the spleen and stomach, making the body grow strong and full of vitality. Tangible waste after food digestion is discharged from the front and rear yin. If the yin and yang of the human body keep balance, the human body will be healthy.
(3) The relationship between Yin and Yang and human qi and blood: the qi in the human body is Yang and the blood is Yin. Qi here is a subtle substance, which is constantly moving and has strong vitality. It is the most basic substance to maintain human life activities. It is popular in organs of the whole body, meridians and other tissues and organs, and promotes various physiological activities of the human body. The blood here is the basic substance that constitutes the human body and sustains life activities. The theory of TCM health preservation holds that qi is the handsome of blood and blood is the mother of qi. Qi can produce blood, circulate blood and suck blood, and qi and blood are inseparable.
