| Objective:Based on the understanding of natural laws and the summary of life practice experience of ancestors,to study the principle of the generation,pathogenic characteristics and elimination of dampness from the perspective of genetics,reveal the essential meaning of the theory of pathogenic characteristics of dampness and treatment methods of dampness,further enrich the theoretical connotation of treatment principles and methods of traditional Chinese medicine,and provide guidance and reference for clinical rational application.Methods:From the perspective of genesis,using the methods of literature research,comparative research,historical analysis and other research methods,comb the development source of the theory and treatment of dampness,excavate the "natural way" and "life principle" behind it from the perspective of development and change,and analyze and study the pathogenic characteristics of dampness and the genesis principle of the treatment of dampness.Results:The original meaning of dampness is "soil covered with water",and the extended meaning is "water rich".By observing the changes of natural climate and combining the theory of yin and yang and five elements,the ancestors found that "dampness" has become one of the "six qi",and is closely related to the human spleen.Because the invasion of natural moisture can cause abdominal pain,diarrhea and other diseases of the human body,and the diet is too raw and cold,too fond of fat,sweet and thick taste,and other diseases similar to the external moisture are also easy to cause.By comparing the pathogenic characteristics of natural dampness,the spleen belongs to the earth in the five elements,and the central function of the spleen in the movement of the human body,the two sources of dampness are summed up.Through the practical experience of "Dayu flood control" to provide a way out for flood discharge,combined with the normal water metabolism process in the human body,three ways for human body to discharge water and moisture are summarized:defecation,urination and sweat.Based on the above theoretical knowledge,this paper analyzes the relevant statements of various generations of doctors,and combines the understanding of nature and the sense of life,focusing on the pathogenic characteristics of dampness and the genetic principle of eliminating dampness.1.The pathogenesis principle of pathogenic characteristics of dampness is mainly as follows: through the living practice of clay containing clay,and the ancients using clay to make pottery,the dampness viscosity is summarized;Combined with the common sense of life that clothes become heavy and dirty after being drenched in the rain,it is concluded that wet turbidity;According to the natural law of water flowing to the lower place,it is concluded that the wetness tends to fall and the yin position is easy to attack;According to the cold feeling caused by wearing wet clothes or staying in wet environment for too long,combined with the theory of yin and yang,it is concluded that dampness is yin evil and easy to hurt yang qi;According to the observation of the ice flood phenomenon that the downstream ice causes the upstream water flow to overflow during the ice flood,combined with the pathogenic characteristics of water moisture viscosity and cold condensation,the wet and easy air blocking mechanism is obtained;Based on the natural phenomenon that the air is moist in all seasons,and the theory that moisture is soil in the five elements,and soil is also the four elements,it is deduced that moisture is easy to combine with other evils;Through the natural understanding of moistening everything and silent,it is concluded that the pathogenic factors of dampness are insidious.2.The genetic principle of removing dampness mainly includes: creating sweating and removing dampness through living practices such as heating and sweating close to the fire,and alleviating pain caused by cold and damp invasion in the body;Take the common sense of life that when there is wind in the nature,the clothes become wet and the sweat on the body become dry faster,and the natural phenomenon that the wind blows away and the rain turns clear,and invent the wind medicine over the wet method;By comparing the structure of the inkstone drop with the structure of human viscera,and interpreting the practical life experience of opening the upper mouth to facilitate the outflow of the lower mouth with the law of natural air pressure,the method of lifting the pot and uncovering the lid is established;By cultivating soil,we can change the living practice of the water flow direction,and the five elements law of soil and water,and create the method of invigorating the spleen and benefiting water;According to the seasonal changes of winter and spring and the transformation of yin and yang,combined with the natural laws of water freezing and ice melting,and other natural knowledge,create warm yang and remove dampness;Through the living practice of opening tributaries to discharge flood,the method of light infiltration and water utilization was created;According to the bitter and warm taste of food after barbecue,it is concluded that the Chinese medicine with bitter and warm taste has the characteristics of fire and heat at the same time,and combined with the natural principle of fire and heat dispelling cold and damp,create bitter,warm,dry and wet;When the river overflows due to siltation,the method of activating blood and benefiting water is invented by dredging the siltation to make the river return to normal and combining the theory of traditional Chinese medicine that blood and water are homologous;The following water courses or drainage ditches discharge human domestic wastewater,or the natural image of the largest estuary in the inland rivers,like the simple understanding that the large intestine is the largest sewage outlet of the human body,and create the method of dredging and guiding stagnation.Conclusion:The genetic principle of eliminating dampness is the natural evolution process of the theory of dampness pathogenic and eliminating dampness,which is based on the ancestors’ compliance with the laws of nature and combined with the specific practical experience of life.Its essence is also the ancient philosophy of "man and earth are compatible".The genetic principle of removing dampness is not a simple and boring theoretical explanation,but also includes many humanistic and natural connotations,which is the core content of the theory of treatment principles and methods of traditional Chinese medicine. |
