Chinese medicine practitioners often refer to cardiopulmonary qi deficiency, liver depression and qi stagnation during the dialectic, so what exactly is "qi" in Chinese medicine?

Qi is the driving force behind all life activities in the human body. It is generally believed that the meaning of qi involves two aspects, one is the nourishing, subtle and sophisticated substances flowing in the body (e.g., ying qi, wei qi); and the other refers to the ability of the internal organs to function and move (e.g., spleen qi, lung qi).

In all parts of the human body there is a flow of subtle substances, depending on the part and have different names. Gathered in the upper focal point called Zong Qi, gathered in the lower focal point called Yuan Qi, hair in the skin coupling called Wei Qi, running in the bloodstream called Ying Qi. Yuanqi is the essence of the innate, is the person's biochemical motive force, the role is to stimulate and promote the functional activities of the five viscera and six bowels. Zongqi, Yingqi, Weiqi are the essence of the latter, Zongqi can help the lungs Division respiratory, but also the water and grain of the essence of the swarthy part of the propaganda outside the vein, the essence of the part of the injection in the vein to nourish the whole body. Ying Qi runs continuously day and night on the track of blood vessels, nourishing the five viscera and six bowels, limbs and bones. Wei Qi warms the five viscera and six bowels, warms the muscles, moisturizes the skin, nourishes the couper, and opens and closes the sweat pores. Yuan Qi, Zong Qi, camping gas, Wei Qi and the function of the internal organs (gas) is called the sum of the "gas", so that the gas is stored, the evil can not be dry.

The pathology of qi is generally qi deficiency, qi stagnation and qi reversal. Qi deficiency mainly refers to the insufficiency of Qi of the five organs, which is manifested by low voice, little breath and lazy speech, fatigue and self-sweating, fat and pale tongue, and weak pulse. Qi deficiency is most common in the lungs and spleen. Qi stagnation is a malfunction of the qi of the internal organs, which is mainly manifested as fullness and pain in the chest, dorsum, and epigastric region. Stagnation of qi is most common in liver qi stagnation. Qi reversal is a disorder of the internal organs and qi, upward impulse reversal, manifested as coughing and wheezing, erosion, belching, vomiting. Lung main purging, stomach main drop turbidity, qi reversal to lung, stomach two organs are more common. The liver is the main detoxifier, so liver qi also has the upward reversal of the symptoms, can cause headache and dizziness and other symptoms.

Blood is the mother of qi and qi is the commander of blood. Gas and blood are one yin and one yang, and they are closely related to each other. Pathologically, qi disease can injure blood, blood disease can also injure qi, stagnation of qi is blood stasis, blood deficiency is less qi. The circulation of qi and blood is normal.

It is generally believed that qi deficiency is a deficiency and qi stagnation is a reality.

For 53 years, when I practiced acupuncture as a barefoot doctor: the very different sensations when silver needles were pricked on a stroke patient versus a robust member of the community! The former was powerless! The latter's qi and blood ″goo, goo, goo″ was transmitted from the running meridians of his body through the body of the needle to my hand holding the needle! At the age of seventeen, I was unable to communicate because my teacher was deafened by a shell on the battlefield ...... After two years, I changed my profession, but that human body's ″Qi in life″ that hit my heart and soul has been passed on to me in my memories to this day! (Afterwards, I heard the dentist say: "When drilling, an old man's tooth is hard as a rock! A child's tooth is like plaster! I wonder how my men feel now when they hold the needle again? My mother ㇏ grandmother left without a stroke! My father, who is 97 years old this year, also did not have a stroke! Strong stimulation of acupuncture I am extremely sensitive, I have a massage certificate, do not like to use needles also changed professions without clinical conditions, but I rely on this 'can only be words, can not be imagined ″ can only let the qi in my familiar self meridian by the idea of the turnover, running, to self-care, a lot of minor ailments, but no five high 72 years old carotid artery plaque fast! The average Chinese person is 77 years old (male) I only seek 'five blessings in the door' fifth blessing in this year!

The "qi" referred to in Chinese medicine is the qi usually practiced by Taoists, because Chinese medicine is originally derived from Taoism. The qi practiced by Taoism includes the innate qi and the qi obtained from the latter. The innate qi that exists in a person's body is called "innate qi, also known as mixed yuan qi", and Taoism increases this innate qi or mixed yuan qi through some cultivation methods to achieve the goal of immortality.

Chinese medicine refers to the gas, is a person's innate mixed yuan of gas, a person's mixed yuan of gas is a certain amount of stock, with the mixed yuan of gas to get and lose, can reflect a person's physical condition, get the person will be red, prolonged life, disease-free, and the loss of the person will accelerate the aging of the sick and more disasters.

A person's age change is just a number, in fact, the real change is still the body of the mixed yuan qi, as a person's innate mixed yuan qi gradually reduced, also more prominent age figures this concept, so, through the movement is able to maintain the body of the mixed yuan qi loss and depletion of the degree, which is also the theoretical basis of the life lies in the movement.

Ancient and many of today's martial artists and practitioners, the cultivation of the gas, modern people call "inner strength", is infinitely close to the mixed gas, that is, the connoisseur said "internal training a breath of air, outside the training of sinews and bones," Chinese medicine to see the length of a person's life, mainly in the "look at the gas". Also in the "look gas", once the Chinese medicine said: "no gas", then the person is also finished ball.

I. Meaning, origin and distribution of qi in Chinese medicine

Qi in Chinese medicine has two meanings: First, it refers to the maintenance of human life activities of the basic substances, such as food and drink in the water and grain gas, inhalation of gas, etc., so the "Jingyue quanquan" in the "people's life, all rely on this gas," said; Second, it refers to the driving force of life activities, such as the gas of the viscera. The meaning of gas has material and functional two kinds.

Sources and generation of qi:There are innate qi and acquired qi. The innate qi, also known as yuan qi, is endowed by the parents and is generated by the essence of the innate; the acquired qi is the combination of the clear qi inhaled by the lungs and the essence of the water and grains produced by the spleen and stomach by transporting and transforming the water and grains. The combination of innate qi and acquired qi is called true qi or Zhengqi. The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine (HUNDI NEIJING) says, "True qi is received in heaven, and the qi of the grains and fills up the body", which is a high level generalization of the source and generation of qi.

Distribution of gas and its functions:True qi fills the whole body, all the time, everything, in order to nourish the body and maintain normal physiological functions. Therefore, the true qi is the material foundation and internal power of the human body's life activities. The bias of qi is directly related to the health of the human body. The so-called "righteousness within, evil can not be dry; the evil of the gathering, its gas will be weak. That is to say, it is not easy to get sick when the positive qi is strong, and it is easy to get sick when the positive qi is weak. There are different names for different parts of the body due to the different distribution of Qi:

(i) Zongqi:Accumulated in the chest, it is the combination of food, water and grain gas and the inhalation of clean air, and is the starting point for the operation of the body's qi transmission. Its function: one is to help the lungs Division breathing, where speech, voice, breathing strength, are related to the Zong Qi's strength or weakness; the second is to penetrate the heart veins and the line of qi and blood, where qi and blood operation, as well as the body's cold and warmth of the ability to move, and the Zong Qi is related to.

(ii) Battalion gas:Zong Qi through the blood in the nutritional gas, line in the veins, and the close relationship with the blood, so there is "camping gas, its fluids, injected into the veins, into the blood, in order to glorify the four end of the injection into the five viscera and six bowels," the statement. It can be seen that the role of Ying Qi and blood are inseparable, and play a common function of nutritional organism.

(iii) Wei Qi:Zongqi pronounced outside the vein is called Wei Qi. Its nature is tough, good to run, reach the surface of the body, warm skin, muscle, nourish the coupling, the Division of sweat holes open and close to defend against foreign evil, so called "Wei Qi". Exceptions to the invasion of evil organism, Wei Qi that is up against the evil, so the occurrence of cold, trembling, sweating and other symptoms. Wei Qi wins the evil, then the bad cold solution, heat retreat disease, on the contrary, the cold and heat do not go away, the disease continues to develop.

(d) The qi of the five viscera and six bowels:For example, the heart has heart qi and the spleen has spleen qi. If the heart qi is insufficient, palpitations and shortness of breath will occur; if the spleen qi is insufficient, there will be loss of appetite, abdominal distension and loose stools. It can be seen that the qi of each organ is the driving force to maintain its physiological function.

　　The above qi, although with different names and different distributions, its functions can be summarized into three points: 1) qi can biochemistry of all things and nourish all organs and tissues of the human body; 2) due to the power of qi, it can make all nutrients transported throughout the whole body; 3) it has the role of protecting the human body, defending against external evils and regulating the unity of the internal and external environment.

II. Modern Interpretation, Evaluation and Reflection of Qi in Chinese Medicine

In ancient times, from philosophers to medical doctors, knowledge of the real material world was very limited and often wrong. The same is true of Chinese medicine's perception of qi, from its definition to its connotations, and from its source to its distribution. Chinese medicine attempted to use the theory of qi to explain the causes of disease. Its conception and system were great for its time; but looking at it today, thousands of years later, it is clear that it is full of holes, lacks logic, and fails to explain itself in many places.

(i) Definitions themselves are both imprecise and contradictory: Since gas is the basic substance that sustains life, it cannot be the driving force of life activities. Water valley is water valley, viscera is viscera, water valley gas is what gas? Viscera gas is what gas? The two together as the real gas, or not solve the problem of what gas.

An easy-to-understand example: Definition of automobile: a power-driven, non-rail-bearing vehicle with four or more wheels. This definition is very clear, anything that meets the conditions of "power-driven, non-rail-bearing vehicle with four or more wheels" is called an automobile. The driving force of automobile movement is fuel. It is definitely not correct to define fuel as an automobile. The automobile has the function of dragging and hauling, etc., and this function is certainly not called an automobile.

Water valleys are water valleys and internal organs are internal organs. Both are qi? Obviously both inaccurate and contradictory, appearing to give a definition of qi that actually says nothing and actually includes everything.

(ii) Sources and generation are full of loopholes:The innate qi, adhering to the parents, is born from the innate essence. What is the innate essence? It is not explained clearly either. This is using a new concept to explain an old concept, and the old and new concepts remain unresolved. The acquired qi is the combination of the clear qi inhaled by the lungs and the essence of water and grains produced by the spleen and stomach by transporting and transforming water and grains. The clear qi inhaled by the lungs is easier to understand, so what is the water and grain essence qi? Again, it is a muddled account.

(iii) Distribution and its utility:The explanations of zong, ying, wei and qi of the internal organs are all far-fetched.

From all perspectives, the definition of qi in Chinese medicine has never been clear. The concept of qi in Chinese medicine can be well described in one sentence: it can only be understood, but not expressed. It is everywhere, everything is qi, and nothing is qi.

In the field of medicine, where rigor and strictness are most needed and no half measures are required, how can there be any development and innovation in this kind of vague theory. To put it bluntly, it would be a great blessing for the patient if this kind of vague theory does not kill him.

The physiology of Western medicine was founded on René Descartes, the originator of the natural sciences"Animals are machines."The Philosophy of Life. According to Descartes, "Not only does the non-living world follow the laws of physics, but the living world likewise follows the laws of physics." The physiological science of Western medicine is the interpretation of the human body according to the mechanistic model of decomposition and the physico-chemical model.

Because of the loss of the origin of life and the inability to interpret the human body from the perspective of the essence of life, Western medicine has been studying the physiology of the human body by means of dissection since Galen (129-199), the master of medicine in ancient Rome. Vesalius (1514-1564), the Netherlandish physician and founder of modern science, who was on a par with Copernicus, even pioneered the modern anatomy of Western medicine. William Harvey discovered the theory of the movement of the heart and blood.

Western medicine studies human physiology according to the mechanistic model of hierarchical construction, using the system-organ-tissue-cell-molecule model of hierarchical decomposition. As a matter of fact, machines are the products of man-made forces, and organisms, including animals, are the products of natural forces. Can a life be made according to this hierarchical construction model? The answer is no. Descartes."Animals are machines."The philosophy of life is an untrue and false proposition! Western medicine does not cognize the reality of life!

Not to mention the human body, what do we know about a blade of grass? Molecular biology studies have found that a single blade of grass can contain up to a million proteins. The more technologically advanced we become, the more we show Westerners' ignorance of the forces of nature. The ancient Greek philosopher Zeno said, "Human knowledge is like a circle, inside the circle is known, outside the circle is unknown. The more you know, the bigger the circle, and the more you don't know.."

It is said that traditional Chinese medicine has always hovered between conjecture and experience, failing to cross the threshold of science. And in fact, with anatomy and "Animals are machines."Western medicine, on which the philosophy of life is founded, simply has not even found the doorway to the palace of life and has not been able to cross over to the door of truth! What exactly is the qi referred to in Chinese medicine? It is the original vital energy. Yuan Qi is the essence of life, and Yuan Qi is the source of life. When qi is gathered, it is born; when qi is strong, it is healthy; when qi is weakened, it is weak; when qi is dispersed, it is dead.

The core value of Chinese medicine, based on the Yellow Emperor's Internal Canon, is the doctrine of Zang. What is hiding? To hide, to conceal. What is an image? Phenomenon, scene, sign. What is hidden? The essence of life is the metaphysical Yuan Qi, which is invisible, inaudible, untouchable, and impossible to prove, but the life and death of life, health and disease are all determined by the gathering and dispersing of the Yuan Qi!

Kant, the founder of classical German philosophy, said, "The basis for the legitimacy of knowledge exists in the laying of the original foundation."The study of human physiology in Chinese medicine is based on the principle of vitality, Yuan Qi, and interprets human physiology and health from the perspective of Yuan Qi. Because Yuan Qi cannot be empirically verified, the use of "Skepticism and the quest for empirical evidence"Judged by the scientific standard, its knowledge does not indeed belong to the realm of science, but because it is grounded in the life-principle, it belongs to the realm of truth.

The study of human physiology from anatomy is empirically verifiable. But the important thing is that life is not a man-made machine, human life is born from the original vital energy of its life. The Book of Changes, "The Series of Rhetoric," says: "metaphysics is called Taoism, and metaphysics is called mechanics." Western medicine, which studies life according to a mechanistic model, studies the metaphysical "household utensils", or the skin of man, while it is the metaphysical Yuan Qi that determines the way of the physiological mechanism of life! Without the foundation of the life-principle, the legitimacy of the entire body of knowledge of Western medical and physiological sciences needs to be judged in terms of metaphysical ontology!

''Qi'' is often talked about in Chinese medicine. For example, ''qi and blood are not working'', ''qi and veins are not working''. What exactly is ''qi''? Why can't scientific instruments find it?

The ''chi'' in the human body is biofield energy. Currently, science observes it only at the level of quarks. Quarks are far from energy. At the macroscopic level ''its greatness has no outside''. At the micro level ''its small without inside''.

Scientists already know that the universe is full of energy. The body of a human being born in the universe is also full of energy. At present, due to the limitations of scientific instruments, it is not known what energy ''looks'' like. When science advances, we will be able to observe what energy looks like. There will be no more secrets in the universe. Including human ''consciousness'' will also be revealed.

When the energy in a person's body is unclogged, they don't get sick. Acupuncture is about unblocking the energy channels. Make it unclogged.

A family affair. For information only!

"Qi", the core concept of Chinese medicine, has been at the core and plays a leading role in forming the theoretical system of Chinese medicine, guiding the clinical practice of Chinese medicine, and promoting the modernization of today's Chinese medicine academics.

The meaning and concept of qi in Chinese medicine do not yet have a counterpart in English, so if you translate qi in Chinese medicine in English, you can only use the pinyin qi or KI. From this perspective, you can also see the magic and mystery of qi in Chinese medicine.

So what exactly does qi mean in Chinese medicine?

The Original Meaning of Qi

The concept of "qi" from ancient philosophy and ancient medicine has a universal and abstract meaning. It is sublimated from the special, concrete and primitive meaning of the word "qi".

If you check, the word "qi" can be found in both the oracle bone inscriptions of the Yin Dynasty and the gold inscriptions of the Zhou Dynasty, but not in the sense of a noun. In the oracle bone inscriptions, the paleographer Yu Shingo interpreted it as "qi", which has three meanings: first, to beg; second, to arrive; and third, to end. However, the interpretation of Yu Shingo, a paleographer, is currently recognized by the academic community. Because this interpretation can be confirmed by the later Jinwen of the Spring and Autumn Period.

The qi character in the later Qihou jug inscriptions is the same as the qi character in the oracle bone inscriptions, and is used in the sense of "beg" as a constituent element of the characters, which is translated as "qi seeks".

It was only during the Qing Dynasty of the Warring States period that the middle stroke was omitted and the character became "乞".

Speaking of which, in the oracle bone inscriptions and the Jin script, qi is used as a pseudo-character, tong qi, 迄, 讫. However, we cannot find qi as a noun in the Shangshu or the Shijing, making it difficult to understand the meaning of qi in its original sense.

At present, it is widely believed that the original meaning of "qi" should be "cloud qi", and this explanation is first found in Xu Shen's statement in Shuowen Jiezi, "qi, cloud qi;... Yun, the qi of mountains and rivers."

This should be the Yin Dynasty has entered the farming period, the annual harvest and rainfall is very much related, according to the basic common sense, they should know that rain is born in the clouds, the clouds are born in the air of the mountains and rivers, so in the period of Yin and Shang Dynasty, it should be very natural for people to worship the clouds.

Therefore, the cloud and its expansion and filling of the natural air, gas is the original meaning of gas is not surprising at all.

It can also be further extended to understand that, in addition to cloud gas, there is nothing more intuitively close to primitive man than smoke and vapor, and here is not related to the use of fire in human beings.

Qi on rice as qi, as well as the old saying qi on fire, and today we often say qi on fire, can be seen as the understanding of qi by people in the past. It can be understood as qi as the gas bubbling up from steaming and cooking rice, as well as the smoke produced when building a fire.

In the Kanji Etymology Dictionary compiled by Fujido Akebono, the original meaning of ki is the rising of the air in a pot that cannot hold the rice when it is being steamed.

In addition, the "Laozi" that came out of Mawangdui have all written qi as qi.

There is also a silk book "52 Diseases Formula" unearthed in 1975, which states "Blood hemorrhoids, with weak (drowning) who (cooked) boiled a peony mouse, ironed with gas. ... Take an autumn bamboo and boil it. And then the qi smokes the bruise, already." The two qi here refer to vapor.

In short, there are three main aspects of the conceptualization of chi occurring:

1. Expanding from clouds to natural air and gases such as wind, clouds and warm and cold climates;

2. Smoke, vapors, and fire gases from the use of fire.

3. Breathing gas and heat from the human body, etc.

In this context, chi is just an ordinary word with no philosophical or medical meaning.

Philosophizing the Meaning of Qi

With people's existence and understanding of qi, gradually recognize the characteristics of qi and the law of change of movement and make theoretical generalizations and summaries, at which time qi becomes a philosophical concept, not just a noun.

For example, in the second year of King Yu of Zhou, when explaining the cause of the earthquakes at that time, the Imperial Master, Bo Yang Fu, said, "The qi of heaven and earth is not out of order; if it is out of order, the people will be in chaos, and the yang ambush will not be able to come out..."

Two points should be noted here, one is that the cause of earthquakes is not attributed to the wrath and punishment of the gods, but is understood as the phenomenon of change in the material world itself. The second is the earthquake truncation bit yin and yang two gas sympathetic interaction, interaction to argue that the universe of all things generation and change of the internal basis, which for the Chinese medicine theory of yin and yang theory and gas theory for the first time confluence.

Further, the "State" that the qi of yin and yang exists in everything in the universe, including the human body and determines human temperament, began to pay attention to as a philosophical concept of the law of change of movement, "the mouth inside the taste and the ear inside the sound, the sound of taste and anger. Gas in the mouth for speech, in the eye for the Ming. Words are bright with faith, and brightness moves with time...' Here, the doctrine of yin and yang and the theory of qi merged into one and explored the order of philosophical qi movement and change.

As a doctor to the Duke of Jin Ping, he believed that the cause of his illness was "not ghosts or food", but a violation of the order of the "six qi", "unseasonal", caused by qi lust. He said, "There are six qi in the sky, ... The six qi are: yin, yang, wind, rain, darkness and brightness..."

Summary: Up to this point, qi theory thought mainly to illustrate the order of the world, connection and change of things, has not yet detached from the perceptual coloring, has not yet designed the idea of the universe of all things constituting elements or the original, until the Warring States period clearly used the concept of the original and the qi as the original of the transformation of all things.

The later philosophy of Lao Tzu, despite the fact that it believed that everything consists of two qi, yin and yang, was concerned to emphasize that the Tao is more fundamental than the qi.

Zhuang Zi inherited Lao Zi's thoughts on qi, that people and all things are born of qi: "The birth of a person, the gathering of qi is also gathered, gathered for life, dispersed for death ... Therefore, it is one qi that passes through the sky."

Developed to the point where everything is made of chi, the philosophical concept was born.

During the period of Guanzi, it was believed that the Tao, was the Essence Qi. It was believed that all material and spiritual phenomena in the universe originated from the composition of essence. "A qi that can change is said to be essence."

"If you have qi, you will be born; if you don't have qi, you will die; those who are born are born with their qi." At this point, the ancient Chinese monism of qi was initially established.

The influence of philosophical qi on qi theory in Chinese medicine

We must not deny the significant influence of classical Chinese philosophical qi theory on TCM qi theory.

Whether it is Guan Zi or Zhuang Zi and other philosophical classics on qi to elucidate the qi of the human body, it is believed that the Nei Jing inherited the idea of qi monism and used the progressive yin and yang philosophical theories of the time to summarize clinical experience.

The ideas of the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine succeeded and countered the doctrines of qi and yin and yang, and even Mr. Sun Guangren, who emphasized that the qi of Chinese medicine was different from the qi of philosophy, believed that "the theory of qi was not only philosophically influential, but also played a great role in the formation of the theory of Chinese medicine."

Although qi was used to describe the human body at an early stage, the formation of qi theory in Chinese medicine was influenced by the philosophical thought of qi monism at that time.

From the basic viewpoint that qi is the origin of the universe, Chinese medicine believes that qi is the most basic substance that constitutes the human body and sustains its life activities.

Physiological view - heaven and earth together with the gas, destined to be said to be human.

According to Chinese medicine, everything is born of qi. In the sky for the gas, in the earth to form, the line of gas and sense and the birth of all things. Human beings are no exception and are born from qi. The human body qi also has a time rhythm characteristics, a day, with the changes in heaven and earth, there are changes in yin and yang.

Pathological view - Evil qi prevailing is solid, essence deprivation is deficient.

Positive and evil qi are related to the occurrence of diseases. When positive qi is weak, it is unable to fight against evils, resulting in the invasion of evils and the onset of diseases. When the positive qi is strong, the guards will be tightly secured and it will be difficult for evil to invade the body. As the saying goes, "when positive energy is stored in the body, evil will not interfere". "Where evil comes from, its qi must be weak."

The causes of the disease are varied and the cases are complex, but the key to the disease is the fundamental "qi and chemical disharmony".

View of medicine - harmonize yin and yang, with a period of calmness.

Chinese medicine's understanding of human physiology is based on heaven and earth and human qi one, the disease is defined as the body's internal qi disharmony, so the idea of treatment is to resolve the cause of the disease by adjusting the qi, from the evil qi does not serve to the "evil qi is served", in order to restore the harmony of qi within the body to achieve "yin and yang secret, the spirit of the cure! ".

"The treatment of disease must be sought at the root", and the regulation of qi malfunction is regarded as the root of treatment.

Harmonization of yin and yang is based on the period of peace - bias and bias for its peace, Thailand is not as good as for its equalization, yin and yang compete for its harmony, and the clear and turbid interrelated for its smoothness.

In short, the initial meaning of qi to the connotation of qi in Chinese medicine, and then to its theory in Chinese medicine, through the concrete meaning, abstract meaning, and then rise to the essence of the universe, and finally to become the core category of Chinese medicine, has been developed to the present day.

I hope that the above answer will be helpful to the subject in understanding the qi of Chinese medicine.

Follow me, with a rigorous attitude, science and health; with love, to convey happiness.

Today, browsing the headlines to see the recommended this problem is very very good ah, this problem I personally think that the Chinese medicine Taoist culture and theory of thought for thousands of years of doubt carry on. Then I will be based on their own self-study of Chinese medicine Taoist culture and theory of thought and some experience into three sub-report to you reference reference it!

The first is actually the human body is an organic whole this prerequisite must be recognized, recognized the organic whole before listening to the next analysis of it. There is a saying that has been passed down for thousands of years called "People live for one breath, Buddha fights for one incense burner". I think many people have heard this saying! So the human body inside and outside the body will have a gas running track to carry on! Because the only gas form running below can provide a constant flow of energy it! So according to this theory can also know the human body has four treasures "grain, essence, gas, God" also. This is also in line with the four basic laws of the universe, right!

The second subdivision is actually to specifically analyze the process of conversion of the operation of the four treasures of the human body, right?

The human body has an innate essence (the liver and kidneys are brought from the mother's body, right?). And then there is the nature of the body (the spleen and stomach system can provide a constant supply of energy to the nature of the body, right!) But this energy supply must come from (the essence of grains and seeds after digestion). Therefore, these four treasures are in the order of "grain into essence, essence into qi, qi into god". Then in this process of transformation must be the need to these grains in the original seeds of the five elements of the essence into five elements of the essence of the gas to deal with our body innate bring the energy and also. So this process is called "Essence Transformation of Qi" also.

The third is actually the gas is all the universe all living beings to reproduce the necessary energy to carry on! So as long as the universe is an individual of all living things, survival must have a certain amount of five elements of the essence of the gas to provide a constant flow of energy to support it! Then give you a human body gas case! Our human body needs to support the daily activities of the gas has "yuan qi, oxygen, yang qi, yin qi, ying qi, wei qi, zong qi" and a series of gas. Of course, this may be a bit abstract, everything needs to be verified in practice! Finally, it's still a matter of opinion! If there are those who say that is not correct, I hope that you can teach more carry on! Is also just learning Chinese medicine culture and theory of thought less than three years of time, I hope you more advice also.

What is gas?

First, qi is the core of Chinese medicine, the foundation of theory and clinical practice. If you understand qi, you have understood Chinese medicine.

Secondly, there are many different kinds of qi in the nomenclature of Chinese medicine, so listen to my explanation of how to recognize it as the essence of understanding.

Thirdly, we know that seventy-five percent of the human body is water, and that water begets everything, and life comes from water. The metabolism of water in the human body shapes human life.

Fourthly, as we all know, everything in nature grows by the sun. Human beings have a little sun of their own in their bodies. What is it? It is the heart. The heart is the fire organ, the source of kinetic energy in the human body. The conversion between fire and water produces something called qi in Chinese medicine.

Fifth, the process of change between water and fire, the change of gas is also called qi. The various physiological pathologies triggered by qiization give rise to the eight syllabi and six meridians of Chinese medicine, which are used to guide clinical practice.

Sixth, any person, any kind of disease, normal, abnormal are in the dynamic change between fire and water, which triggers the qi, leading the body tissue structure changes. For the better, towards healing, deterioration, or towards death. What is the standard? Of course is the gas, so some people live a breath of origin.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a very broad and profound discipline, and in general the qi in TCM refers to two things; the first is the innate qi and the second is the acquired qi.

Let's talk about how the innate qi is formed. In fact, the innate qi of each of us is received from our parents. The child conceived from the union of a strong sperm and a healthy egg will have sufficient innate energy, and vice versa.

Let's talk about the qi of the latter day! In the concept of traditional Chinese medicine, the qi of the latter day is nurtured by water and grains and has to be digested and absorbed by the intestines and stomach, and most importantly, it is transformed into the qi of the latter day by the spleen.

Qi is something that is invisible and easily overlooked. Within our health care community there is this saying. "Nourishing blood without nourishing qi is empty in the end." You can imagine the importance of qi. Why is it said that nourishing blood without nourishing qi is an empty game at the end? As the key to nourishing the entire body, what does blood rely on to drive it? The answer is to rely on qi to promote, where does qi come from? This is the topic we are discussing.

Chinese medicine believes that qi is formed in the mother's womb and hidden in the kidneys. It is given by the parents and is innate and can be used up; if the innate qi is gone, the person is hopeless. Therefore, there are many people who do not have enough innate qi, which leads to the occurrence of difficult and complicated diseases when they grow up. If you help them to replenish their innate qi at this time, all kinds of difficult and complicated diseases will be cured without medicine.

The qi of the latter is the function of the spleen to transport and transform water and grains, and the food we eat every day relies on the spleen and stomach to generate the essence, qi, blood and fluids to nourish the whole body. As the "source of qi and blood biochemistry", the qi generated by the spleen is constantly fed into the kidneys and the innate qi intertwined, so that the innate qi does not weaken.
