Treatise on Causes and Manifestations of Various Diseases, a famous ancient book, which including 50 volumes, written by Chao Yuan-fang in Sui-Dynasty, records causes pathogenesis manifestations and prognosis of about 67 classifications and 1739 kinds diseases. In this book, besides 287 kinds of Daoyin, none of the medicines is applied for the diseases, which is the one and only in the great deal of ancient book of TCM. So, the book can also be called as the most intact ancient book of Chinese medicai Qigong.On the view of the points of Chao Yuan-fang, Daoyin is a kind of characteristic therapies, which can match the acupuncture, moxibustion, herbs, massage and stone needles. In his book, he said that one can find herb acupuncture stone needle treaments and so on in other books so only Daoyin treatment is left in his book. It is thus clear that Chao Yuan-fang have rich clinical exerperments of Daoyin, which also can be find from the book that one kinds of Daoyin can be used in two types or many kinds of Daoyin are be used for one diseases. So the systematization and promotion of Daoyin in the ancient book is benifical to the construction of the Chinese medical Qigong and the enrichment of the Chinese medical basic theory. Daoyin is a natural therapy, which is attatched much important by ancient health-peserving persons, so the systematization and promotion of Daoyin in the ancient book is also benifical to Chinese health-peservation. Furthermore, the reseach can give some enlightenment to the one on other ancient Daoyin book.All items of Daoyin in Treatise on Causes and Manifestations of Various Diseases were collected in one book in the end of the Qing Dynasty, then till the 80s of the 20th century, some research on Daoyin, being one kind of Chinese medical Qigong, of the book began to trickle, which was the mirror of the Qigong development in modern time. There is an emerging consensus until the 80s of the 20th century that Qigong is a metal and physical practicing skill that integrates body, breath and mind adjustment into one in a fair and natural manner. Three adjustments integrated into one is the essential feature of the Qigong, as a skill, the practicability and maneuverability should be paid much importance.With the disappearance, change and misarrangement of the words through more than one thousand years, it is a difficult thing to systematize and promote Daoyin in the ancient book. The restitutation for Daoyin in their original manner is the key points to go gurther, which are the discussion this dissertation concentrated on.In the dissertation, the maneuverability refers to the clear directions for the practicer, which needs rich experiments of the researchers. The maneuverability can be carried out to the letter by instruction of three adjustments in details and video-graphic demonstration. The practicability refers to the clear clinical indications for Daoyin applications and the accutate theory interpretation. The maneuverability can be carried out from the disease and health- preservation.The word is an abstract for expression. So if we want to find out the maneuverability of the Daoyin in the book fom the words, which on earth the words express should first be confirmed.So the systematization and promotion of Daoyin in Treatise on Causes and Manifestations of Various Diseases should obey three princples. First, restitute Daoyin in their original manner as possible as one can; second, follow out the essential feature of the Daoyin, three adjustments integrated into one; third, embody the clinical values, including the clear clinical indications for Daoyin applications and the accutate theory interpretation.So the train of the thoughts should be arranged by five steps, words restitutation relying on the different editions'collation; words expression; Daoyin restitutation; the rule behind the Daoyin; the inter-verificafion between Daoyin and research and Chao Yuan-fang's clinical experiments.46 words in seventeen groups extracted from the book are analysed from the meaning and maneuverability, then basing on these, all items of Daoyin are restituted and demonstrated by the video image and flash, then some rules are summaried, and Yi-Qi-Li theory are applied for the Daoyin, in order to explain the details more clear, some contents of sports anatomy are used, which can only explain the things related to body adjustment, so kinematic analysis can not reflet the essence but can give an easy way to grasp the meaning.It is thought in the dissertation that, Daoyin in Treatise on Causes and Manifestations of Various Diseases is an efficient medical Qigong system, with the distinct character of three adjustment integrated in one; most beginning postures are between standing and lying; Daoyin is old and original with a clear objective and easy to learn; most Daoyin pay much points to body-adjustment, especially the movement during the inspiration or the holding-breath after inspiration; body adjustment have the character of static antagonism; the manipulation attaches weight to the operate direct and power bur neglect the velocity. At the end of the dissertation, the Yi-Qi-Li theory are intoroduced and used to explain the Daoyin mechanism. |
