A Exploring Research Of Imagery-dialogue Technology For The Imagery Of The Five Viscera

Cangxiang, the core of TCM theory, is a image-system of describing inner imagery of body. By Yin and Yang-Five movement theory, The five viscera has the relationship with the Five movements。That is the heart matching with Fire, the liver matching with Wood, the lung marching with Metal, the kidney matching with Water, and the spleen matching with Clay,On the basis of the marching relationship and the inner relations between The five viscera and other organs of the whole body, the body was divided into five system. There is an good effect by using TCM, however, the testing of the meta theory is unconvincing.Image thinking like a kind of intuitive thinking, holistic grasp, is impossible to be verified the middle of the process.The basic concept of the TCM is Xiang, not entity.The imagery-dialogue therapy focus on the imagery something like Xiang.So I use the imagery-dialogue technology to collect the imagery of the interval organs, and find the law of imagery of each organs, then test the meta theory of TCM.The result is:the obvious differences of the imagery of The five viscera。The characteristics of each organ are summarized as follows:1) Heart is related to the imagery of fire, smart, bright, and strength; 2) the lung is closely related to water wind and free, and clean; 3) there are strong signs of the liver, and it is correlated to anger, work; 4) spleen is related to the signs of eating and small; 5)kidney is closely related to vitality, water, pair and relationship.The imageries also reflect the relationship between organs, such as heart and liver more closely with the fire, kidney and lung close to water; Heart, lung more dynamic, while the liver and spleen more calmness.The imageries of The five viscera are related to the matching relationship in TCM, but also differences are existing。That is to say the the imagery-dialogue technology can be used to research in TCM. And to further exploring the reasons for the discrepancy is one of the major direction to use this technology to research TCM.
