What exactly does the Five Movements and Six Qi, the highest state of Chinese medicine, refer to?
As we all know, the Huangdi Neijing is a medical work that has had a great influence on the history of medicine in my country. It laid the foundation for the diagnosis and treatment of human physiology and pathology in traditional Chinese medicine, so it is also called the Chinese Medicine Classic. The ancestor of medicine. In the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic, there is a concept of five movements and six qi, and the five movements and six qi are called the highest realm of traditional Chinese medicine in my country. In fact, the five movements and six qi refer to the changes in the movement of yin and yang and the five elements of qi and the natural A theory combined with climate change.
First of all, the five movements and six qi are called the highest state of traditional Chinese medicine. The Five Movements and Six Qi come from the Yellow Emperor's Internal Canon. They can predict not only the occurrence of illnesses but also climate changes. Therefore, they are called the highest realm of traditional Chinese medicine. Five Movements and Six Qi is a theory that uses the laws of natural climate to influence human health and disease changes. It is also called the theory of luck. It is an astronomical phenomenon that the ancients can observe with the naked eye, that is, the heavenly stems and earthly branches are used as a means of calculation. It combines Yin Yang and Five Elements to determine time periods of different lengths, and then uses it to infer the theory of the physical and mental state of the human body under certain climate conditions. Generally speaking, it is a theory that combines the laws of the movement of celestial bodies, the laws of nature and the laws of human life. However, because the ancients had limited understanding of the world, the Five Movements and Six Qi is a theoretical system based on observable celestial phenomena. It is a system in which objectivity and subjectivity exist.
Then, the five movements and six qi refer to the movement of the five elements and the changing laws of the natural climate. The five movements refer to the changes in the movement of the five elements, that is, the changes in the movement of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. The first person to propose the five qi was Zou Yan during the Warring States Period, while the six qi refers to the six weather changes of wind, cold, heat, dampness, dryness, and fire. A natural phenomenon caused by the movement of celestial bodies. In traditional Chinese medicine, climate changes between heaven and earth will inevitably affect humans and earth, causing different physiological reactions. Therefore, understanding the laws of change can help us predict the occurrence and changes of diseases, thereby achieving the purpose of preventing and treating diseases. Therefore, The five movements and six qi are the foundation and core of traditional Chinese medicine theory. Secondly, the Five Movements and Six Qi combine the research results of astronomy, geography, calendar, climate, physical phenomena, etc. Its application range is very wide. It can not only predict and treat diseases, but also reveal the laws of natural climate change. It is the profound philosophy and philosophy of the Chinese nation. A valuable heritage of cultural attributes.
Finally, the five movements and six qi are of great significance in clinical application. However, in different years and seasons, the characteristics of luck changes are different, so the pathogenesis of the disease will also be different. Therefore, the application of the five fortunes and six qi will also change with changes in luck.
