seven impairments and eight supplements(qī sǔn bā yì)

seven impairments and eight supplements

There are many schools of thought about "seven harms and eight benefits" mentioned in the theory of Yin Yang Ying Xiang in Huangdi Neijing. The comparison is as follows:

According to the theory of Yin Yang Gangji, eight benefits refer to the eight symptoms of "Yang Sheng" such as body heat, purgation, dyspnea, pitching, sweating but hot, dry teeth, vexation and injustice, abdominal fullness and death, and seven damages refer to the seven symptoms of "Yin Sheng" such as body cold, sweating, body often clear, counting chestnut, cold, Jue, abdominal fullness and death.

Zhang Jingyue, a famous medical scientist in Ming Dynasty, according to the theory of yin and Yang in Zhouyi, he defined "seven" as "the number of Shaoyang" and "eight" as "the number of Shaoyin", and expounded his own academic proposition of supporting yang and suppressing Yin.

Four signs Theory: Based on ancient divination, according to seven, eight, six and nine representing four signs respectively, this paper expounds a common sense of traditional Chinese medicine, that is, the eastern wood can be damaged but not replenished, and the western water can be replenished but not drained.

The theory of sexual intercourse: take Tianxia zhidaotan as the core, count the seven and eight. The article points out several beneficial and harmful situations that should be paid attention to in sexual intercourse.

The theory of alchemy: Based on the Zhouyi shentongqi, its essence comes from the corresponding situation of human body's tendons, collaterals and viscera in the book of changes and Luoshu. It clarifies a core concept of alchemy - lifting the kidney and lowering the heart, so as to explain the seven harms and eight benefits.

Growth law theory: Wu Kun, a famous medical expert in Ming Dynasty, pointed out: "for women with seven impairments, Tiangui takes seven as the discipline, and Tiangui comes in February and July, and the moon is at present, and Yin and blood are often deficient, so it is called seven impairments; for men with eight benefits, Tiangui comes in February and August, and the essence is full, and Yang is often surplus, so it is called eight benefits."

The above are some famous theories about "seven harms and eight benefits", but there are many related theories that are not mentioned here.

introduce

There are many schools of thought about "seven harms and eight benefits" mentioned in the theory of Yin Yang Ying Xiang in Huangdi Neijing. There is no clear explanation for the "seven harms and eight benefits" mentioned in the theory of Yin Yang Ying Xiang in Huangdi Neijing, which leads to many conjectures in later generations. The more famous ones are the theory of yin and Yang, the theory of yin and Yang Shu Shu, the theory of four signs, the theory of sexual intercourse, the theory of alchemy and so on. Among them, the theory of four signs: Based on ancient divination, according to seven, eight, six and nine representing four signs respectively, this paper expounds a common sense of traditional Chinese medicine, that is, the principle of health preservation of traditional Chinese medicine that the wood in the East can be damaged but not repaired, and the water in the west can be supplemented but not drained, which is in line with the concept of Heluo mathematics. According to the theory of Yin Yang Gangji, eight benefits refer to eight symptoms of "Yang Sheng", such as body heat, stagnation of Qi, dyspnea, pitch, heat without sweating, dry teeth, vexation, abdominal fullness and death, and seven damages refer to seven symptoms of "Yin Sheng", such as body cold, sweating, body often clear, counting chestnut, cold, Jue, abdominal fullness and death. Theory of Yin Yang number: Zhang Jingyue, a famous medical scientist in Ming Dynasty, according to the theory of Yin Yang number in the book of changes, refers to "seven" as "the number of Shaoyang" and "eight" as "the number of Shaoyin", and expounds his own academic proposition of supporting yang and suppressing Yin. Among them, the theory of sexual intercourse: take Tianxia zhidaotan as the core, and count the seven and eight. The article points out several beneficial and harmful situations that should be paid attention to in sexual intercourse. Among them, the theory of alchemy: Based on the Zhouyi shentongqi, its essence originates from the corresponding situation of the human body's muscles and viscera in the book of changes and Luoshu, and clarifies a core concept of alchemy - lifting the kidney and lowering the heart, so as to explain the seven harms and eight benefits. However, it is undeniable that from the current evidence, Neijing is the first systematic classic to put forward the theory of "seven harms and eight benefits". There are many documents to explain the concept of "seven harms and eight benefits" in later generations. As for whether the literature of later generations is enough to explain the concept proposed in the classic of Neijing, we need to constantly explore the wisdom of ancient times, instead of trying to make blind people feel the elephant and see the leopard's superstition, so as not to make future generations laugh.

The theory of yin and Yang

According to Yang Shangshan's Taisu · Yin Yang, according to Su Wen · Yin Yang Ying Xiang Da Lun, "Yang Sheng leads to body heat, Bi Li is closed, dyspnea is pitching, sweating does not produce heat, dry teeth are distraught, abdomen is full, death can be winter but not summer; Yin Sheng leads to body cold, sweating, body is often clear, a few chestnuts are cold, cold is convulsion According to the theory of Jue is abdominal fullness and death, which can be in summer but not in winter, it is considered that "Yang conquers eight benefits as excess, Yin conquers seven impairments as deficiency". Eight benefits refer to eight symptoms of "Yang conquers", such as body heat, purgation, dyspnea, pitching, sweating but hot, dry teeth, vexation, abdominal fullness and death, and seven impairments refer to seven symptoms of "Yin conquers", such as body cold, sweating, body often clear, counting chestnut, cold, Jue and abdominal fullness and death. Yang's theory classifies the disease symptoms according to Yin and Yang, and emphasizes that yin and yang are the key to analyze and understand the disease. It is the so-called "simple questions · Yin and Yang Ying Xiang Da Lun" that "those who are good at diagnosis, observe the color and pulse first distinguish Yin and Yang", which plays a positive role in promoting Yin and yang to become the general principle of the eight principles of syndrome differentiation. However, as for the specific understanding of "seven harms and eight benefits", there are still some problems. First, Yin Sheng's "counting chestnut and cold" is divided into two losses, while Yang Sheng's "sweating but hot" is only for one benefit, which is suspected of forcing up the number of seven or eight; second, it is not consistent with the following methods of harmonizing Yin and Yang, so later generations of doctors have their own choices. The first is cold, the second is perspiration, the third is often clear, the fourth is Shuli, the fifth is cold, the sixth is Jue, the seventh is abdominal fullness and death, the eighth is positive, the first is body heat, the second is physical closure, the third is dyspnea, the fourth is pitching, the fifth is sweating but heat, the sixth is dry teeth, the seventh is vexation and injustice, the eighth is abdominal fullness

On the number of yin and Yang

"Lei Jing · Yin Yang Lei" "Lei Jing · Yin Yang Lei", written by Zhang Jingyue, a famous medical scientist in Ming Dynasty, points out from the perspective of Yin Yang number: "seven is the number of Shaoyang, eight is the number of Shaoyin. Those with seven impairments talk about the gradual disappearance of Yang, while those with eight benefits talk about the cause of Yin growth. If the husband is Yin and Yang, the origin of life and death lies in Yang, and Yang should not disappear; if death lies in Yin, Yin should not grow On the contrary, it is the cause of premature senility. Here, according to the theory of the number of yin and Yang in the book of changes, Zhang referred to "seven" as "the number of Shaoyang" and "eight" as "the number of Shaoyin", and combined with his own academic proposition of supporting yang and suppressing Yin. But Zhang Zhicong, a famous medical scientist in Qing Dynasty, had the opposite view with Zhang jiebin. He thought: "those who have seven harms and eight benefits speak more Yang than Yin. However, if Yang Qi comes from Yin, knowing the deficiency of yin and not making it lose money, the two can be adjusted. " It can be seen that the two theories are based on the understanding of "excess of Yang and deficiency of vagina" in Suwen · Taiyin Yangming theory from different perspectives. Modern people also interpret it from the number of seven or eight Zang Fu organs and the image number position of the nine number map in Luoshu. According to these views, "seven harms and eight benefits" reflects the idea of obeying the four seasons of yin and Yang in diagnosis and treatment and health preservation, and embodies the concept of "correspondence between heaven and man".
