Chapter 143 Deducing Yin and Yang to Clarify the Origins of Illness
Divination principles assist in medicine, distinguishing between cold and heat.
I. Different Origins of the Same Symptoms Reveal Deficiency and Excess
A warm breeze rustles through the branches of the courtyard, and the city unfolds in a tranquil and serene atmosphere, while a panoramic aerial view slowly reveals the vibrant cityscape.
Wen Qihan frowned slightly, his gaze fixed on the patient who had just been coughing and wheezing, and asked softly.
"Many patients with cough and asthma have completely similar external symptoms, so why do their treatment outcomes vary so much?"
Chen Shanhe lightly twirled the herbs on the table with his fingertips, his expression serene and composed, and slowly opened his mouth to answer.
"The outward symptoms may seem identical, but the underlying causes of cold and heat are completely different."
Zhou Deshan leaned slightly forward, listening intently, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
"Most doctors in the world only observe the surface symptoms and do not delve into the root cause."
Xu Jingming's eyes were clear and bright as he raised his hand and gently pointed to the patient's chest and abdomen.
"Coughing, excessive phlegm, chest tightness, and shortness of breath are all symptoms; identifying the underlying pathogen is the key to diagnosis and treatment."
Lu Maoshan sat quietly to one side, pondering deeply, and slowly reflected on his past oversights in practicing medicine.
"I used to specialize in treating stubborn bone and muscle ailments, but I also couldn't understand the mysteries between different diseases with the same symptoms."
Wen Qihan slowly sat down on the wooden stool, leaning forward slightly, earnestly seeking guidance.
"I have treated countless lung diseases over the years, and I have always been deeply troubled by this dilemma in my medical practice."
Many patients cough at similar frequencies, and their sputum looks almost identical.
Ordinary doctors uniformly diagnose the condition as wind-cold entering the lungs and prescribe herbal decoctions arbitrarily.
Little did people know that part of the problem stemmed from the accumulation of cold and dampness, while the other part was caused by internal heat scorching the meridians.
The properties of cold and heat are completely opposite. If prescriptions are used indiscriminately, the illness will only worsen over time.
If the medicinal properties go against the natural order, not only will they fail to resolve phlegm and stop coughing, but they will also deplete the vital energy of the five internal organs.
Most cases of persistent and recurring asthma are caused by improper medication.
The crowd stood quietly inside the clinic, pondering this simple yet difficult-to-understand medical principle.
A seemingly simple internal medicine ailment can involve layers of nuanced considerations and nuanced decisions.
Poems as proof:
Outwardly similar but inwardly different
The distinction between cold and heat can conceal chronic illnesses.
Incompetent doctors fail to identify the root cause.
If the wrong medicine is administered, the illness will be difficult to cure.
II. The principles of change are divided into cold and warm.
Chen Shanhe's gaze was calm and distant as he eloquently explained the inner principles of the Yin-Yang cycle in the I Ching.
"The operation and cycle of all things in the universe are always governed by the laws of Yin and Yang."
Wen Qihan's eyes flickered slightly, and he spoke slowly with a look of surprise on his face.
"I've always heard that divination and metaphysics are obscure and profound, and I never thought they could be integrated into clinical practice."
Zhou Deshan explained calmly and slowly, his speech clear and logical.
"We, as medical practitioners, follow the essential principles of the I Ching and have never been obsessed with mysterious divination and fortune telling."
Xu Jingming nodded slightly in agreement, and with a confident expression explained the nuances of the trade-offs.
"Let go of empty metaphysical talk and only retain the great Dao of creation, the waxing and waning of Yin and Yang."
Lu Maoshan suddenly understood and gradually grasped the complementary relationship between medical principles.
"The Eight Trigrams merely deduce the world's fortunes, including the waxing and waning of heat and cold."
Just as heaven and earth have yin and yang, and the four seasons are divided into cold and warm, the five internal organs of the human body are also mutually generating and restraining each other.
The lung metal element has its own yin and yang attributes. Cold evil is yin, and dryness and heat are yang, and they counterbalance each other.
The climate changes with the four seasons, and the yin and yang energies constantly rise and fall.
Outsiders only know that the I Ching is used to predict fortune and misfortune, but only medical experts use it to diagnose illness and evil.
People whose lungs are afflicted by cold and dampness are afraid of cold and wind, and have thin, clear phlegm and a heavy feeling in their chest and lungs.
People with internal heat accumulating in the chest and diaphragm often experience dry throat, thick yellow phlegm, and frequent feelings of irritability.
By using the principles of Yin and Yang, one can quickly distinguish the pathogenic factors and avoid blindly prescribing medicine.
Using ancient philosophies of nature as a supplementary foundation, we can make up for the lack of knowledge among folk healers.
The gentle breeze of spring wafts through the city, revealing the ever-changing yet fundamental principles of worldly life, as seen in the expansive aerial view.
All the knowledge in ancient Chinese learning, in the final analysis, is used to nourish the mind and body of the people.
Poems as proof:
The rotation of Yin and Yang determines temperature.
The principles of Yi (易) and medicine are integrated to understand all directions.
Abandoning the mystical and seeking the true meaning,
Only nature can cure a terminal illness.
Third, misinterpretations of cold and heat often lead to errors.
Wen Qihan raised his hand and gently rubbed his brow, his eyes filled with endless melancholy and regret.
"Looking back on my years as a doctor, I have indeed made many mistakes in diagnosis and treatment."
Chen Shanhe's expression was gentle and compassionate, and he spoke softly and slowly to comfort her.
"All grassroots doctors who travel alone will go through this period of confusion and detours."
Zhou Deshan, with a solemn expression, recounted the long-standing drawbacks of traditional medicine.
"Diagnosing a disease solely based on visual observation is the biggest hidden danger in practicing medicine."
Xu Jingming pursed his lips slightly as he spoke of the profound harm caused by the indiscriminate use of medicine.
"If a patient with a cold condition is given cooling and heat-clearing herbs, the patient's yang energy will be further depleted, and their physical condition will become increasingly weak."
Lu Maoshan has firsthand experience with this, having made similar mistakes in the past when treating bone diseases.
"If you only use warming and tonifying methods to dispel cold for a febrile disease, the internal heat will stagnate and the turbid toxins will not be eliminated for a long time."
Wen Qihan let out a long sigh, his mind churning with a myriad of thoughts.
"Many mild illnesses that were originally easy to treat have been misdiagnosed and delayed into chronic diseases."
The most difficult part of practicing medicine has never been memorizing hundreds of herbal prescriptions.
The real difficulty lies in having the discerning eye to see through illusions and distinguish between the true nature of good and evil, cold and heat.
Many doctors practice medicine their entire lives but never truly grasp this principle.
Rigidly memorizing ancient prescriptions and using outdated methods means spending one's entire life treating illnesses based on superficial symptoms.
This has harmed the health of countless people and hindered the improvement of one's own medical skills.
Despite his diligent and painstaking study of prescriptions and medicines, his medical skills remained stagnant.
Only now did he understand why he had been unable to break through the bottleneck in his medical skills for so long.
Their perspective is limited and shallow, lacking in the understanding of Yin and Yang, and their view of illness is too one-sided and simplistic.
Poems as proof:
A difference between hot and cold symptoms can occur in an instant.
Using the wrong herbs can damage your appearance.
A minor ailment, if left untreated, can become a chronic condition.
So many people suffer.
IV. The fundamental principles of military strategy serve as the core.
Chen Shanhe straightened his posture and calmly finalized the entire set of rules for diagnosis and treatment.
"The Yin and Yang principles of the I Ching can only be used as supplementary analysis, not as the foundation of medical practice."
Wen Qihan cleared his mind of all distractions and listened attentively to the teachings with a respectful expression.
"I have already grasped the profound philosophical principles, and I will certainly distinguish between the primary and secondary importance of learning skills."
Zhou Deshan systematically outlined the entire integrated framework of his medical practice system.
"Throughout this unique medical system, the strategies of offense, defense, and treatment from a military perspective always take precedence."
Xu Jingming slowly explained the sequence of diagnosis and treatment, his logic meticulous and clear.
"First, use military strategy to weigh the right and wrong, advance and retreat; then use yin and yang to distinguish the cold and heat, the depth and shallowness."
Lü Maoshan combined his expertise in bone therapy with a thorough understanding of all the principles.
"All herbal decoction combinations and qi circulation are based on the strategy of roundabout warfare."
Military strategists use stillness to control movement, slow down stagnation, and balance offense and defense to resolve stubborn problems.
Yin-Yang deduction is only used to identify the category of disease and to help improve the diagnostic thinking.
Do not pursue ethereal metaphysics and empty talk, nor indulge in the superficiality and falsehood of divination and fortune telling.
Healing and saving lives with a down-to-earth approach, combining legal principles with practical methods, and establishing a complete and orthodox framework.
When encountering cold, it preserves Yang and strengthens its foundation; when encountering heat, it disperses turbidity and dissipates fire. Its advances and retreats are all governed by rules.
When evil energy is strong, it should gradually retreat and consolidate its foundation; when vital energy is abundant, it can take advantage of the situation to attack evil.
Wen Qihan's mindset completely changed, and his original doubts and prejudices gradually dissipated.
This layered structure is well-organized and balanced, far from being just ordinary empty talk or theory.
Aerial photography slowly captures the scenery of the courtyard, revealing a new and righteous path in the medical profession that endures.
With clear distinction between primary and secondary principles, the Great Way endures and continues; with all kinds of wondrous methods, we unite to help the world and save people.
Poems as proof:
Military strategy is fundamental to curing evil.
The principles of the I Ching are used as a supplement to distinguish between cold and heat.
Prioritizing and distinguishing between primary and secondary matters will lead to a long journey.
The medical profession shines eternally.
