Basic theories of traditional Chinese medicine: land-water theory and cloud-qi theory

Basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine: holistic view and dialectical treatment. Essence, first seen in Tao Te Ching, originated from the theory of land and water. Qi originates from the theory of cloud-qi.

Speaking of qi, I believe everyone is familiar with it. In nature, we are used to watching the weather before going out every day, whether it is cold or hot, whether it is wind or rain; China has 24 solar terms in the lunar calendar, which is the seasonal compass to guide agricultural production in China. These natural gases are closely related to our production and life.

In the social field, we all actively advocate promoting healthy qi and restraining evil spirits. When describing people's mental state, we will say that some people are old-fashioned and others are full of pride. When reflecting a person's mood, some people are beaming and some people are angry. There is a saying in Chinese medicine that vital qi exists inside, and evil cannot be done, and evil combination leads to qi deficiency.

Qi's thoughts reflect all aspects of China's social life for thousands of years, and all the treasures of the Chinese nation are full of charm. Under the influence of the land and water theory, the concept of essence came into being. However, soil, water and essence are tangible substances. The ancients discovered where these tangible waters came from through further thinking.

An important philosophical proposition was born, that is, "making something out of nothing". Then there is nothing to represent this. The ancients found that the gas in nature is the smallest substance that can be seen by the naked eye. The gas is extremely fine and close to being invisible. This kind of gas close to being invisible can keep moving constantly and change in different forms, thus forming various substances. This is the theory of clouds and qi.

Traditional Chinese medicine technology:

At the end of last century and the beginning of this century (since 1996), the classical basic theory of TCM has developed creatively, and a series of all-round, scientific and modern TCM concepts have made revolutionary breakthroughs. For example, the concept of qi is mixed and unified, fractal meridians, mathematical theory of yin and yang, fractal set of traditional Chinese medicine, new creation of philosophy of traditional Chinese medicine, and creation of five-fractal system of Tibetan image.

Modern Chinese medicine also refers to a social transformation process in which less developed societies or disciplines acquire the characteristics of more developed societies through social reform. This process of social change is driven by international or social exchanges. One aspect of the basic theory of modern Chinese medicine is the explosion of technology, thought and theory, which makes human thoughts grow and spread at an alarming speed and quantity.
