Theoretical Research Of Sanxu In The Canon Of Huangdi

"Sanxu" was recorded earliestly in the canon of Huangdi and reflected the morbidity view of Correapondence between Man and Universe. It was the important component of the basic theory of TCM. Ancient doctors interpreted the concept of "Sanxu" and its clinical application and development, and made it develop from single concept to diversified one. However, the ancient doctors had their own opinions. It still lacked theoretical research and elaboration. Nowadays,"Sanxu", the research of its basic meaning, was still not clear, its boundary was blurred and its contents were limited. Therefore, it was hard for clinical application and its understanding, interpretation and application was difficult.The objective of this paper is the theory of "Sanxu" in the canon of Huangdi. Through the method of comparative study, it discussed the happening meaning and evolution rules; through the method of philology, it interpreted the meaning of "Sanxu"’; through the method of hermeneutics, it interpreted the key factors of "Sanxu", illustrated its deep meaning; through the method of logic, it demonstrated the human pathogenic principle of "Sanxu" and it provided new opinion of pathogenesis; through the method of logic, it interpreted the defend of "Sanxu", thus,it can guide the prevention of clinical disease.Firstly, the meaning of "Sanxu""Sanxu" refers to the deficiency of the universe. It is the deficiency of "time" in the core of year, month and hour. It is the temporal factor that affects the opening and closing of the sweat pores. When it changes to "Sanxu", human beings is in the condition of deficiency, loose sweat pores,and lack of Qi and blood. At this time, it is easy to be invaded by pathogenic factors.."Sanxu" refers to the deficiency of the essence, qi and shen. When human beings are in the condition of insufficiency of the essence, qi and shen, it is easy to get serious disease. With the development of the society, essence qi and shen is easy to appear excessive consumption and cause "Sanxu" making the healthy qi insufficient, so the pathogenic qi is attacked. and thus, the diseases appear."Sanxu" refers to diagnostics and treatment category."Sanxu" in diagnostics contains the asthenia of diagnosis, pulse and illness, and in treatment in the aspect of asthenia and sthenia of the illness and clinical administration thoughts it has the value of clinical application."Sanxu" refers to the asthenia of heaven, the earth and man. It is the major taboo of sexy issuers. When human beings are in the condition of "Sanxu", they should avoid sexy issuers. If they are in the orgy of sexy issuers, they will get diseases. Sexy issuers should choose the proper time and should be avoided the appearance of "Sanxu". If not avoided, it may have the danger of abnormal development of the fetus.Secondly, the specific referring of the core elements of "Sanxu""Sanxu" in the canon of Huangdi mainly reflects that the order of time have the physiology and pathology action and effect. The core element of "Sanxu" is esoteric and is not easy to be understood. Thus, the essay illustrates the meaning of the asthenia of heaven and has thorough research on it. It makes the specific referring of the core elements of "Sanxu" clearly."Sanxu" contains three aspects of the year of over restraint, the moon waning, the disharmonies of time order. The year of over restraint contains four aspects of the year of the deficiency of Wuyun and the year of the qi of sitianzaiquan not in their proper time, the winter and summer solstice of a year, and the year suffering the restraint of Tianyun. The moon is waning refers to the time during the crescent moon to the next month of the first quarter moon:the lunar calendar29to lunar7of next month. It is about8days in total. The disharmony of time order refers to the abnormal climates of four seasons and life style violating the law of the season.Thirdly, the physiological and pathological mechanisms of "Sanxu" to human bodies"Sanxu" the year of over restraint and diseases:the year of the deficiency of Wuyun:the deficient qiyun can cause the condition of the deficiency of viscera qi. The healthy qi is also insufficient and the pathogenic qi is prevalent, so take care of the invasion of pathogenic qi. The year suffers the restraint of Tianyun:Every nine years is asthenia year from7years old. Healthy qi is insufficient and thus the pathogenic qi invade, so it is easy to get diseases."Sanxu" moon waning and disease:Annual rhythm and daily rhythm is paid much attention, however the month rhythm is rarely talked about. The cycle of month has apparent effect on human beings. When full moon, the qi and blood of human beings is sufficient, thus it is not easy to be invaded by pathogenic qi. When the moon is not full, the qi and blood of human beings is insufficient and the sweat pores is loose, thus it is easy to be invaded deeply by pathogenic qi and get serious diseases. When the moon is not full and the asthenia syndrome is main syndrome of the disease, the two asthenia is superimposed, so it is more easily to get diseases. In the aspect of the treatment of disease, acupuncture is a taboo when the moon is not full. Acupuncture at that time will result in chaos of the collaterals. Thus the qi of the shape and illness will be insufficient, so the treatment will take the method of oral herbal medicine. In addition, the month rhythm can judge the treatment of the diseases. The healthy qi and pathogenic qi is in the state of dynamic change with the wane and wax between yin and yang. If the health qi is sufficient gradually and still not win the pathogenic qi, it is in the state of the pathogenic qi is entangled. At this time, take the method of support healthy qi and get rid of the pathogenic qi to expel pathogenic qi and make the healthy qi be strong. The month rhythm can judge the good or bad of prolonged illness. The strong or weak relationship of healthy qi and pathogenic qi of prolonged illness:If the moon is waxing and illness is getting better, it can show that the pathogenic qi is not so serious; if the moon is waxing but the illness is not getting better, the moon is full but illness is not ease and the moon is not full and the illness is getting worse, it shows that the healthy qi cannot defeat the pathogenic qi, and the effect after treatment is not good."Sanxu" disharmony of time order and diseases:The qi and blood of human beings have the regular of floating and sinking with the change of the four seasons. Spring, summer, changxia, autumn, and winter correspond born, growth, change, harvest and collection. When the climate of the four seasons is normal, the healthy qi of the human beings are sufficient, and vice Versa. When the viscera are not in their time, the healthy qi is in the condition of asthenia. If human beings don’t obey the seasonal rhythm, the healthy qi will be hurt. Disharmony of time order causes the disharmony between the qi of born, growth, change, harvest and collection and the qi of nature. Thus, the viscera qi is in a chaos resulting asthenia. If human beings don’t obey the seasonal rhythm of a day, the qi of ying and wei is in a chaos resulting asthenia."Sanxu" is a key element that pathogenic qi causes illness. When "Sanxu" of universe combine with asthenia of body and shape, the healthy qi is inner insufficient and asthenia factor can come in the body, so it result in diseases."Sanxu" has the relationship with the extent of the diseases. When the year of over restraint, the moon waning, the disharmonies of time order appear single, double or three of each together, the extent of the disease is different if it is invaded by pathogenic qi. The factor is more, and the extent of the disease is more serious. If the period "Sanxu" suffers asthenia factors, it will cause diseases or death in a sudden.The asthenia of the universe facilitating the qi of the pestilence is the external cause of the plague formation, and "Sanxu" is the inner cause of pestilence formation and popularity. The abnormal change of asthenia of the heaven destroys the normal order of the seasonal rhythm. It will affect the regular of born, growth, change, harvest and collection of nature and finally promote the appearance of pestilence qi. When asthenia of the heaven, tianyun is not in its place and thus shen of human beings will separate. The lifestyle of exuberant sexy issuers will cause shen is not in its place."Sanxu" will cause shen is not in its place and the qi of pestilence, finally will cause pestilence or death.Fourthly, put forward the prevention of "Sanxu"Avoiding asthenia factor and pathogenic wind:In Dongzhi, Xiaohan and Dahan wind should avoid south wind; in Chunfen,Qingming and Guyu should avoid west wind; Lixia, Xiaoman and Mangzhong should avoid north-west wind; Xiazhi.Xiaoshu and Dashu should avoid north wind; Liqiu and Bailu should avoid north-east wind; Qiufen, Hanlu and Shuangjiang should avoid east wind; Lidong, Xiaoxue and Daxue should avoid south east wind.Preventing the infection of the pestilence:Stay away from pathogenic factors and apply the method of mental adjustment. Thus, the health qi is so sufficient that can avoid the invation of diseases. Wear or take the herbal medicine of pungent flavor and incense. It can not only eliminate pestilence, but also excite qi and blood, so originate qi is strong enough to avoid pestilence.Complying with the time order can protect health qi, no matter emotion or the living."Sanxu" highlights the law of wane and wax of yin and yang. Taking herbal medicine according to the time rhythm is helpful to improve clinical effect.The research contains the meaning and pathogenic principle of "Sanxu". The theory of "Sanxu" is in the angle of the point of the universe to recognize the formation of the diseases in all aspects. Thus, it can wholely grasp the physiological and pathogenical rule of TCM. It has great clinical value on the prevention, occur, development, change and transfer of the disease.
