Theory of Qi, Yin and Yang and Five Elements

Qi-yin-yang theory and Yin-yang theory belong to Qi monism, which not only has the characteristics of natural view, but also has the nature of methodology. The contradictory movement of the five elements system structure is a universal law of the universe. Let's look at the theory of qi, yin and yang and five elements again.

Theory of Qi, Yin and Yang and Five Elements 1 Yin and Yang Theory

Yin and Yang are developed on the basis of the material view of Qi monism, which has a profound dialectical view of Qi ontology. Yin-yang theory's understanding of the origin of the world belongs to the monism of qi, which not only has the characteristics of natural view, but also has the nature of methodology.

The monism of Qi focuses on the analysis of the origin of all things in the world, holding that Qi is the unified material basis of infinite diversity of all things in heaven and earth, explaining the internal relationship between tangible and intangible with the accumulation and dispersion of Qi, and emphasizing that the emergence and elimination of things is only the transformation of the existing form of Qi.

Adhere to the morphological diversity and material unity of all things in the universe, and strive to answer the questions of philosophical ontology. On the other hand, Yin-Yang theory pays attention to the origin and law of Qi's own movement, and holds that Qi is a thing and two bodies, and it is the unity of Yin and Yang contradictions.

The interaction of yin and yang is the root of qi's own movement and the fundamental reason for the movement and change of all things. With the dialectical viewpoint of "one divides into two", this paper expounds the mutual opposition, mutual root, growth and decline transformation and coordination and balance between related things or two aspects inside things.

On the basis of monism of qi, it embodies the simple view of unity of opposites. It is believed that the whole universe is the unity of opposites of Yin and Yang, and the unity of opposites of Yin and Yang is the general law of the movement and change of everything in heaven and earth. The human body and man and nature are also a unity of opposites of yin and yang.

The theory of Yin-Yang opposition is used to analyze the contradiction between human health and diseases and to clarify the fundamental law of life movement. Although the theory of Yin and Yang is rooted in the monism of Qi in ontology, it is more dialectical in methodology, which is the further development of China's traditional philosophy.

The concept of qi and the concept of contradiction between yin and yang are organically combined, thus establishing the concept of unity of opposites of qi and unitary matter.

theory of the five elements

The understanding of the origin of the world in the theory of five elements is also subordinate to the monism of qi, which has both the characteristics of natural view and the nature of simple universe system theory.

The understanding of the origin of the universe in the theory of five elements focuses on the material composition of the world, and holds that wood, fire, earth, gold and water are the material elements that constitute all things in the world, which is different from the explanation of the origin of the world's material by the monism of qi.

The theory of five elements uses the law of restraint of five elements to explain the overall dynamic balance of all things in nature, and explains the relationship between restraint and deception to overcome recovery on the basis of the universal law of five behaviors in the universe.

Everything in heaven and earth produced by qi is a whole composed of five structural systems: wood, fire, earth, gold and water. The dynamic balance of nature is maintained by the restriction mechanism among the five structural systems.

The human body is an organic whole composed of five elements structure system centered on five internal organs. Man and the environment are also an organic whole. From the point of view of system structure, the theory of middle school analyzes the organic relationship between human body parts and parts, parts and whole.

As well as the unity of human body and the outside world, it demonstrates the whole concept that human body is a unified whole. The regulatory mechanism of the five elements is the reason why the structural system of viscera and meridians of human body remains relatively stable and dynamic.

Therefore, "the machines in nature can't live without life, and they can't live without control. Without life, there is no reason for development, and without control, it is harmful (The Analects of Confucius, Characters, Wings and Luck). There needs to be a system in life, and there is a life in the system to run endlessly. On the contrary, it complements each other.

"If you are angry, you will be overwhelmed by what you have won. If it is inferior, it will be invincible, and it will take advantage; If you win, you will despise it "("Su Wen Wu Shu "). "If you have the spirit of winning, it will come back" (On Su Wenzhi's Truth).

"Slightly, slightly, slightly, slightly, slightly, slightly, slightly, slightly, slightly, slightly, slightly, slightly, slightly, slightly, slightly, slightly, slightly, slightly, slightly, slightly, slightly, slightly, slightly, slightly, slightly, slightly, slightly, slightly, slightly, slightly, slightly, slightly, slightly, slightly, slightly, slightly, slightly, slightly, slightly, slightly, slightly, slightly, slightly, slightly,

The contradictory movement of the five elements system structure is the universal law of the universe and the universal law of life movement. The contradictory movement of Yin-Yang and Five Elements is the concrete expression of human qi movement, the movement law of human viscera and meridians, and the universal law of life movement.

Feng Shui Qi of Yin and Yang Family

Qi was a very abstract concept in ancient times. Materialists think it is an element that constitutes the origin of the world, while idealists think it is a derivative of the objective spirit. Philosophers generally believe that qi is everywhere, and it constitutes all things, constantly moving and changing. "Laozi" says: "All things are negative and embrace Yang, and they rush to think of peace."

Zhang Song said in Zhengmeng Taihe: "Too empty and invisible, the noumenon of qi, its convergence and dispersion, the change of guest shape." Qi,

It is a very common and important concept in Feng Shui. There are life energy, death energy, yang energy, yin energy, rustic energy, local energy, riding energy, energy gathering, energy receiving, qi pulse, qi mother and so on.

Qi is the source of all things, which changes endlessly and determines people's fortune. If people want to avoid death and take advantage of anger, they have to ask the Feng Shui master to "adjust their breath". "Regulating qi" is very complicated. Only by combining the yin-yang and the five elements can we get a "prosperous image" on the spot, and we can get "angry" and be rich in "angry". Therefore, feng shui is actually a kind of "phase gas technique".

Feng Shui takes qi as the foundation of all things. Meng, referred to in Volume 1 of Guan Shi Geography, said, "Qi is too easy to speak, no matter whether there is communication or not. ...... One product and two instruments, three births and five elements, good and bad regrets are organic and measurable, and there are ups and downs. "

That is to say, the world is from nothing (no gas) to existence (the beginning of gas), and gas is the source (1). In Jin Mu, it is divided into yin and yang (two instruments) and five substances (five elements). The ups and downs of these substances all have unchangeable laws (measured but firm), and all have fortune (good or bad, regret), which are predictable.

This passage is an expression of "Taiji Theory" in Zhouyi, with a simple color of materialist dialectics. According to feng shui, qi is infinitely changeable. It can be turned into water or accumulated into mountains and rivers. In the Ming Dynasty, Jiang Pingjie said "Qi is wonderful" in "Shui Long Jing": "In the beginning, only Qi is before water.

Turbid water makes mountains and rivers. Jing Yun: Qi is the mother of water. Water is Qi's son. Pneumatic means water follows, and when water stops, gas stops. Mother and son pity each other, and water and gas repel each other.

The husband overflows the ground, but the trace is water, and walking on the ground is invisible as qi. It is a wonderful use of nature to use both the exterior and the interior. So the gas in the earth tends to move things, that is, the water is either gone or coming.

The dragon needs water to assist, and the gas needs water to stop. Auxiliary dragon is water, so the origin of dragon gas can be known by investigating the origin of water; It is also water that blocks the dragon spirit, so we can know where the dragon spirit melts and gathers by investigating the intersection of water. "So, mountains and rivers can be unified in' Qi', and looking for vitality is to observe the direction of mountains and rivers.

The science behind the theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements shocked people all over the world.

In the long history of 5,000 years in China, the greatest discovery is "Yin-Yang and Five Elements", which contains the profound wisdom of the ancients.

Yin-yang and five elements can be divided into "Yin-yang" and "Five Elements", which complement each other. The five elements must combine yin and yang, and yin and yang must combine the five elements. Yin-Yang and Five Elements are the core of China's classical philosophy, which is a simple materialistic philosophy in ancient times.

Yin and Yang is a very important concept in China traditional culture, which contains the simple dialectical thought of China's philosophy.

It originated from the ancient people's exploration and summary of nature, that is, the sun is sunny and the back is cloudy, and later extended to heaven and earth, sun and moon, day and night, cold and heat, men and women, up and down, etc., all of which are divided into yin and yang.

Everything in the universe has both yin and yang sides of unity of opposites, and constantly moves and interacts. This kind of movement and interaction is the root of the movement and change of everything. The ancients called this constant movement and change "biochemical infinity"

"Historical Records Biography of Celestial Officials" said: "Looking up means observing the image in the sky, while looking down means observing the law in the ground. There are sun and moon in the sky and yin and yang in the ground. There are five stars in the sky and five elements on the ground. " The ancients believed that Yin and Yang were the foundation of all things, and the five elements were the foundation of all things.

The theory of five elements evolved from the "five materials" of the Western Zhou Dynasty. In the Book of History written by Fu Sheng in the early Han Dynasty, it was recorded that the king of Wu cut down the commercial suburbs, and the foot soldiers sang and danced, saying, "The people who are in fire and water eat and drink; Jin Mu, what the people are doing;

Indigenous people, born of everything, are used by people. "Water, fire, gold, wood and soil are the five basic substances on which human beings live. This view has a long history.

In a passage about Liu Xiahui recorded in Zuo Zhuan, there is such a sentence: "Touching the ground and five elements, it is also reproductive." This is the earliest word "five elements".

By the end of the 6th century BC, the five elements had spread to all aspects (five flavors, five colors, five tones, etc. ) and is regarded as one of the basic principles on which "ceremony" depends.

In Shang Shu Hong Fan, which was faked by people during the Warring States Period, it was further summarized as: "Five elements, one is water, the other is fire, the third is wood, the fourth is gold, and the fifth is earth. Moisturizing, fire inflammation, straight wood, golden leather, soil fertilizer.

Moisten the bottom to make it salty, make it bitter on the inflammation, make it sour on the straight, make it pungent on the leather and make it sweet on the crops. "Here, the five elements are promoted to five basic elements that constitute everything in the universe, and their properties and functions are defined.

That is, wood, fire, water, gold and earth, these five elements are everywhere between heaven and earth, and they interact and develop with each other, maintaining the balance of nature.

Wood represents the growing substance; Fire represents a substance that can give off heat energy; The earth represents nature itself; Water represents a flowing substance and can be recycled; Gold stands for solid matter. Wood fire is above the soil, and water and gold are below the soil, so wood fire is yang, water and gold are yin, and soil is neutral.

Following the cycle, the five elements will grow together, that is, "the five elements grow together", such as: wood makes a fire, fire makes people ... If the cycle is reversed, the five elements will contain each other.

For example: Mutuke, Tukeshui ... The ancients used the relationship between Yin and Yang and the five elements to explain the relationship between everything, that is, the interaction of Yin and Yang in nature produced the five elements; When the five elements interact, there will be endless changes.

Therefore, the growth, development and extinction of everything in the universe are the result of the continuous movement and interaction of Yin and Yang. Therefore, the theory of Yin and Yang has become a way of thinking to understand and master the laws of nature.

The theory of five elements is China's simple materialistic philosophy in ancient times, and it is another philosophical concept to objectively understand and observe everything in the world after the theory of Yin and Yang. The ancients found in their long-term life and practice that gold, wood, water, fire and earth are essential basic substances for all things in the world.

It is also concluded that everything in the world is generated by the movement of five material elements: gold, wood, water, fire and earth. These five substances not only breed each other, but also restrict each other, maintaining a dynamic balance in constant movement.

The five elements are divided into yin and yang, with Tiangan as the representative, that is, Jiamu, Binghuo, Wutu, Gengjin and Renshui as the yang of the five elements; Mu Yi, Ding Huo, Jitu, Xinjin and Guishui are the yin in the five elements.

What is the most common natural law summarized by China ancestors? The obvious answer is the theory of yin-yang and five elements. Here, the theory of Yin and Yang describes the development law of the system.

The theory of five elements reveals the laws of material movement in the system, which are isomorphic to a complete system of science and can be used to explain everything.

Many people don't understand why China's ancestors started to engage in system theory. However, western science has moved from modern times to reductionism?

It turns out that science is based on assumptions, and what kind of assumptions there are, there are what kind of scientific theories. The prerequisite for China ancestors to know everything is the monism of Qi,

Since everything is assumed to be unified, reductionism has no meaning here, because everything is ultimately the same thing that cannot be named.

It can't tell us the answer. The true laws of nature can only be an invisible and ubiquitous organization principle of matter, which cannot be observed with precision instruments. There is only one way to understand it correctly, and that is philosophical speculation.

What about western science? It is based on the hypothesis of atomism, which holds that everything is composed of several dead and unchanging elementary particles, so it is necessary to restore those elementary particles to find the laws of nature. Western science has always been on the road of reduction analysis.

Once we really understand the essence of the theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements, we can use it to describe the motion law of any material system in nature.

For example, we can use it to describe the development and growth of the universe, the luminous principle of the sun, and the attractive nature of the earth; It can also be used to describe the motion of matter inside atoms.

Reveal the essence of protons, neutrons, electrons and even photons; Of course, it can also be used to explain the evolution of organisms, the laws of human birth, aging, illness and death, and even the laws of various organizations within human beings.

The theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements is used to describe the sun. The sun is an orderly developing material system, and the mass of the sun is constantly increasing, which is absolutely impossible to decrease as described by western science. The energy of the sun comes not from the burning of its own mass, but from the resistance to the galactic space.

Also, if the solar system is regarded as a material system, the material distribution in this space is uneven. The closer it is to the center of the sun, the greater its material density, and the farther it is from the center of the sun, the smaller its material density, until it reaches a balance with the opposite galactic space.

Because the space of the solar system is asymmetric, the transmission of optical information in it is deformed. When light travels from the center of the sun to the periphery, it will have a regular red shift, and when light travels from the periphery to the center of the sun, it will have a regular blue shift.

If we ignore this kind of information distortion and study the sun seriously, it is bound to be very ridiculous, just like saying that chopsticks are bent when seen in water!

In a word, the theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements is a universal knowledge. Once modernized, there will be a greater scientific revolution, which can explain all the mysterious phenomena in nature.

It can also guide the construction of human system and life. If such a scientific system is not great, then there is no real science in the world!

Scientific scope: In Chinese, the theory of Yin and Yang is used to explain the organizational structure, physiological function and pathological changes of human body, and to guide the diagnosis and treatment of diseases.

For example, in terms of human body parts, the upper part is yang and the lower part is yin; The body surface is yang and the body is yin; For the back and abdomen, the back is yang and the abdomen is yin; In terms of limbs, the outer side of the limbs is yang and the inner side is yin;

As far as bones and muscles are concerned, bones and muscles are yin and skin is yang. Viscerally speaking, the six fu-organs are transmitted instead of yang, and the five internal organs store essence without diarrhea as yin; As far as the five internal organs are concerned, the heart and lungs are yang in the upper jiao, while the liver, spleen and kidney are yin in the middle jiao.

Yin and Yang are opposites and interdependent, and they are always in motion and change. Under normal physiological conditions, they are in a state of dynamic balance, and once this dynamic balance is destroyed, it presents a pathological state.

Therefore, when neutralizing and correcting the imbalance between yin and yang, we should proceed from a dynamic perspective. All tissues and organs of the human body are a whole.

Physiologically and pathologically, they are interrelated and influence each other. Therefore, we should not look at a certain physiological or pathological phenomenon, headache and foot, in isolation, but should look at the treatment and prevention of diseases from a holistic perspective.

BOC regards the human body as the unity of qi, shape and spirit. By observing, smelling, asking, pulse and four diagnoses, it discusses the cause, nature and location of diseases, analyzes the pathogenesis, changes of viscera, meridians, joints, qi, blood and body fluid, and judges the rise and fall of evil.

Then get the name of the disease and summarize the syndrome types. Based on the principle of syndrome differentiation and treatment, the treatment methods of "sweating, vomiting, purgation, harmony, warming, clearing away heat, tonifying and eliminating" are formulated, and various treatment methods such as traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, massage, cupping, qigong and diet therapy are used to make the human body achieve yin-yang harmony and rehabilitation.

With the scientific understanding of the theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements, a complete and systematic scientific system has appeared before us, resulting in a greater scientific revolution, which not only makes China science catch up and become the scientific center of the world,

But also can prove the inherent rationality of China traditional culture, and make China traditional culture fully revived. Can people all over the world not be shocked by such an achievement? In fact, the prophecy has long been said: April 1 retranslated the name of the son of heaven, and it was extremely peaceful to come to the nine countries in spring. "

The theory of yin-yang and five elements has experienced a process of emergence, development and perfection, and its core ideas are overall correlation, harmonious balance, mutual connection, dynamic development, following the law, learning from nature,

It is embodied in unity, integrity and adaptability, and once a certain line is too strong or too weak, it will cause the abnormal reaction of the operation of the five elements, and things will lose their dynamic balance, thus affecting the harmonious development of things.

We can base ourselves on China's national conditions, highlight China's characteristics, absorb the nutrition of China's traditional culture, and explore its educational and teaching value according to the basic principles of the theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements, so as to break through and rebuild the modern education and teaching system, which is an effective way to promote the modernization of education and teaching in China.

Taking five learning paradigms of Cai Ying Experimental School in Changle No.1 Middle School as an example, this paper illustrates the development and application of the principle of Yin-Yang and Five Elements in education and teaching.

Its meaning is that Yin and Yang respectively represent the relationship between teachers and students, the relationship between teaching and learning, the relationship between teaching and educating people, etc., and include the ideas of harmony without difference, teaching and learning, and learning and learning. The so-called learning from teaching means learning from teaching, teaching from learning, and growing together.

It can be understood from three aspects: first, it refers to the mutual achievement of teachers' teaching and students' learning; The second is the mutual promotion of teachers' own teaching and learning;

Third, it refers to the complementarity of students' own learning and teaching. Teaching here refers to cooperative learning between students, or what we often call Mr. Xiao. As "Xue Ji" said: "Learn and then know the shortcomings, teach and then know the difficulties, know the shortcomings and then know the introspection, and know the difficulties and then strive for self-improvement, so teaching and learning learn from each other."

Specifically, it is this paradigm that not only pays attention to the cultivation of students' five learning styles and abilities, but also pays attention to the cultivation of five virtues carried by these learning styles, namely, ambition, respect, morality, honesty and morality, which is also the cultivation of students' key characters in classroom teaching.

These implicit classroom values not only conform to the code of conduct for primary and secondary school students proposed by the state, but also conform to the individual value orientation in the socialist core values, which fully embodies the fundamental task of classroom moral education, the principle of harmonious education and teaching and the principle of five studies.

It also reflects the diversity and identity between subject teaching, indicating that school education should not only have the same paradigm and value, but also have subject personality, teacher personality and student personality, which perfectly solves the relationship between * * * and personality in school education.
