Studies On The Theory Of Ying Qi And Wei Qi In Nei Jing

Objective:This paper explores Ying-Wei theory of Nei Jing,analyzes the concept and connotation of Ying-Wei,sorts out and constructs the theoretical system of Ying-Wei,and solves some doubts and difficulties in Ying-Wei's theory.Methods:This paper,by means of genetic research and literature research,synthesizing relevant literature and relevant discipline knowledge in the generation time of Ying-Wei,and through induction,analysis,comparison and other thinking methods,explores Ying-Wei theory in Nei Jing.Results:This paper makes it clear of the research method in Ying-Wei theory,systematically constructs Ying-Wei theory in Nei Jing,and solves some difficult problems.Conclusion:1.It is found that there are still many problems and controversies in the study of Ying-Wei theory.2.To study the theory of Ying-Wei,it is necessary to take Qi monism and Yin-Yang theory as the guiding ideology,and by using the image-thinking method,grasping the core meaning of related concepts.3.The theoretical system of Ying-Wei in Neijing mainly includes its connotation,generation and circulation,the physiological function,the basic pathogenesis,diseases caused by it,and the regulating principles and methods.First of all,based on the philosophy of Qi monism and Yin-Yang,and by using the method of image thinking,the concept of Ying-Wei is clarified.At first,the ontology of the whole body Qi,because of its Yin-Yang nature,is divided into two parts by Mai(functional channels),which existing in Mai,having moisten function is called Ying Qi,and which spreading out from the constraint of Mai,with solid dense and warming function is called Wei Qi;the two are both going inside and outside the body,circling around the body,and moving complying with the time rhythmic changes,which are the highly generalization of the overall function body rhythm and movement.And Ying-Wei with Yin-Yang attributes,they have homology,contrariety,mutual root relationship.Secondly,combined with the scripture in Nei Jing,it is clear that the source of Ying-Wei is nothing more than three,namely,the innate vitality,acquired water and valley Qi and Qing Qi.In the study of the circulation of Ying-Wei,Mai which Ying Qi are in is functional channels,and Ying Qi starts from the middle Jiao and mainly follows the twelve meridians.And Wei Qi circulates in the outer space Mai,starting from the upper Jiao,and then changing and throughout the body with the time rhythm.Ying-Wei does not only circulate in the body,but also exchanges with the outside through Qi acupoints.And they are corresponding to time,so they have a certain time rhythm,which mainly includes the daily rhythm,the monthly rhythm and the four-season rhythm.Finally,Ying-Wei has the common physiological function of protecting the human body and nourishing the whole body.And due to their different properties,Ying Qi belongs to Yin,which can nourish the body and the spirit,while Wei Qi belongs to Yang,which has the function of warming,nourishing closing,and commanding sleep.The disharmony in Ying-Wei is the general pathogenesis of Ying-Wei,which is divided into two types:Ying-Wei circulation disorder and Ying-Wei opening and closing disorder.diseases caused by Ying-Wei disharmony,are usually the main meridian five body system diseases with the difference between deficiency and excess syndrome.Generally,when the disease is located in the five-body system of meridians and collaterals,and involves the disorder of circulation or opening and closing of Ying-Wei,the disease should be explained by the pathogenesis of Ying-Wei.The basic principle of adjusting Ying-Wei is to harmonize Ying-Wei,obeying the law of time,that is,waiting for Qi of Ying-Wei and then adjust their deficiency and excess,their opening and closing.No matter with acupuncture or prescription as a means,they all can adjust Ying-Wei,but the use of needle or medicine always taking smoothing them,making them move orderly,opening and closing in degree as the goal of regulation.4.Clarify the relationship between Ying-Wei and Qi-Blood,and the relationship between Ying-Wei and Qi of Jing and Luo.The relationship between Ying-Wei and Qi-Blood is a comparison of the two kinds of concepts in the Qi-concept system according to "use".As a verb,Ying-Wei focuses on describing the attributes of movement,which is used to summarize the Qi movement around the body and abstract generalization of inside function of nourishing and outside function of defending.Qi-Blood is a noun,focusing on the description of material properties,is abstract concepts of tangible and intangible materials in human body.But the two groups of concepts are inseparable,the body of Ying-Wei according to Qi-blood,then the body of Ying Qi can be blood,the body of Wei Qi can be Qi;and the moving of blood is called Ying Qi,and the moving of Qi belongs to Wei Qi.The relationship between Ying-Wei and Qi of meridian must be compared on the premise of functional channels--"Mai".The two types of application are different,that is,the Qi of Ying-Wei emphasizes the difference between the external and internal Mai,while the Qi of Jing Luo emphasizes the vertical and horizontal direction of Mai Qi.However,the two can be unified in the moving direction,that is,the circulating image of Ying-Wei can express the circulation state of meridian Qi,and meridian Qi can indicate the local vertical and horizontal direction of Ying-Wei,so the two can be used in the direction of the flow of Qi.5.Through the study of Ying-Wei theory,it finds that the concept of traditional Chinese medicine originates from the actual observation of the human body and is established under the guidance of ancient philosophy and the inspiration of Xiang(image)thinking.Whether the prototype is a functional phenomenon or a physical entity,it is ultimately created by the characteristics of its use.The naming of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)concepts,is directly from the philosophical concepts,or from the existing character with the image by Xiang(image)methods,always expressing the concept of the functional core as the main idea,with their respective application based on the functional characteristics of the human body and division.To clarify the construction principle of the conceptual system of TCM is the basic premise to prevent the distortion and alienation of TCM theory.
