Discussion On The Coordinate Of Ascending And Descending Between Lung And Large Intestine

BackgroundThe theory of "the coordinate of ascending and descending"and "the viscera and the bowels are closely related to each other" which have been effectively guiding the clinical practice for thousands years are two of the most important parts of traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) basic theory. The lung and the large Intestine is a special couple in the theory of "visceras interior-exteriorly related" and the Qi-movement between them is also Characteristic. Yet researchers are rarely study on the theory the coordinate of ascending and descending between The lung and the large Intestine, consequently clinical thinking and clinical applications are limited. This study explores the connotation of the coordinate of ascending and descending between The lung and the large Intestine in order to provide new ideas and methods for clinical applications.ObjectiveThrough the literature collection and the reorganization, the purpose is to further study the theory of "the coordinate of ascending and descending" and "the lungs and the large intestine are closely related to each other", to elucidate their relationship, to further improve and confirm the scientific and practical theory of them and to improve an effective theory to guide the clinical Practice.MethodsThe traditional texture analysis methods were adopted to collect the literatures in the ancient Chinese Medicine books and modern national and international database on "the coordinate of ascending and descending"and "the viscera and the bowels are closely related to each other" theory. Through analyzing the effective information, the concept, the connotation and the relationship can be summarized, so that we can explore the status in human beings.furthermore, to develop new ideas for the TCM.Conclusions"The coordinate of ascending and descending"is the core mechanism of the theory that "the viscera and the bowels are closely related to each other".Physically, the coordinate of ascending and descending between the lung and the large Intestine is of the premise of maintaining normal and orderly function;Pathologically, the internal mechanism of disease between the lung and the large Intestine is based on the destruction the coordinate of ascending and descending between the lung and the large Intestine .Clinical application should stimulate human’s inner strength, harmonize the relationship of yinyang and five elements, in order to recover the consistency of viscera. This is the mechanism of curing come to the guiding rules can be applied to clinical.
