        The Confucian thought of "the doctrine of the mean"

        The doctrine of the mean say again "neutralization", "middle of the road", "in", "" and so on, about the original meaning of the doctrine of the mean, zhu xi explained:" the son ChengZi yue: unbiased theterm ", not "the count and are in the way of the world. YongZhe, under the theorem." "The YongZhe, impartiality, not without transgression, and ordinary reason, but the destiny, of course, the subtle acme also." Visible, the doctrine of the mean thought basic essence is "in holding dual-purpose", it is all things are the pursuit of impartiality, no less than a the neutral condition. "The doctrine of the mean" Confucian culture as one of the important concept, the "neutral" thoughts as neijing is absorbed in constructing the doctor of traditional Chinese medicine physiology, pathology, diagnosis, therapeutic principle, health and other basic theories are the embodiment of the doctrine of the mean thought.

        The sick by: "element asked · meridians BieLun" : "spring and autumn, winter and summer at the Yin and Yang, sick by use, this is often also." The so-called "with" shall mean beyond often degrees, "with" pathogenic can be used as the theory on the basis of the universal law of the; Characteristic is too: "spirit pivot · port asked," said: "frightened he fears, the gas separation, Yin and Yang meridians jue, where rejects, veins road impassability, Yin and Yang, who XiangNi gas delay, main and collateral channels vanity, the flesh not time, but lost its often." Points out seven emotions too is human body important pathogenic factor; Diet is not quarter: "element asked · BiLun" cloud: "food from times, intestines and stomach is hurt," says that eating too much can damage the gastrointestinal, here is the macro discussed. "Element asked · to true to big theory" is a detailed description of the five too, cause human pathogenic mechanism, cloud: "husband five into the stomach, each to his delight... long and increasing gas, materialized the often also; gas increase and long, the die by also." Eating five can im Yin essence, into the to keep the gas, but if five partial eosinophilia, and can damage the five internal organs, so "element asked · angry unto heaven theory" cloud: "the Yin born, this in the five Yin; the five palace, the injury in five. It is so taste too acid, etc. To tianjin, the temper is unique; taste too salty, great integrity law, short muscle, aspiration or......" Puts forward a partial eclipse taste too long, can make the gas partial - partial failure and pathogenesis of the disease theory.

        LaoJuan too: "element asked · menstrual function theory" say: "have LaoJuan, form gas less failure." "Element asked · lift pain reduced" cloud: "pains gasp sweat out, within the outside is, the gas consumption of the self." "Element asked · XuanMing five gas" yue: "five law have hurt: long apparent injury blood, long lie injury gas, sedentary injury meat, long made break a bone, long line injury bar, is refers to the five work injury." What say here LaoJuan, fatigue, five law are excessive movement, and "the doctrine of the mean" on the contrary, it can cause damage to the upright; Luck too: nature climate change too can also lead to human imbalances, such as "element asked · gas alternating big theory article" cloud: "old wood too, atmosphere is popular, spleen soil by evil. And the people disease turns to drain, food reducing weight, vexed, cause, bowel, abdominal branch full... years old wood fail, drying is big line... people ill clear, skin hypochondriac pain, little abdominal pain, bowel, pond drain......"

        Visible, on the basis of the theory about, no matter related to internal injury in a "sick up in a" rule, this kind of "is" disease pathogenesis theory, obviously is based on Confucian thought of "the doctrine of the mean".

        The Confucian "authoritarian" thinking

        Since the dong puts forward "divine right of Kings" view was emperor since accepted, the Confucian has always been to the "poor, to possess the good, and the world" for the purpose of cultivate one's morality raises a gender, the "peaceful period" as the pursuit of life. The Confucian values of active participation in state affairs, and finally formed the esteeming thought the world outlook and methodology of imperial power. Therefore, necessary han dynasty in constructing "classic" in the process of medical theory, under the influence of the mainstream ideology, intentionally or unintentionally in pathogenesis theory into "authoritarian" thinking. Such as "element asked · spirit orchid secret DianLun" "Lord Ming is the Ann", "the Lord is unknown twelve officer crisis" emphasize that the imperial power; The "view internal organs of the body, the heart to Lord, ear to listen, orders for the syndrome, lung to phase, liver, spleen, the will to defend, kidney to master" (" spirit pivot · five hire fluid don't "), the imperial power will be extended to the imperial power driving the function of government agencies. In the empire supreme feudal dynasty, social governing revolution and its exercise the functions of government authority are closely related, ancient physicians it is observed that this social phenomenon, and applied it to the field of medicine, puts forward the human body health and social governing revolution have similarities, and eventually formed using the feudal society's authority, to explain human pathological mechanism unique medical theory.

        The Confucian idea of "the double ninth festival"

        The Confucian thought of "the double ninth festival" comes from the book of changes ", the most direct form of expression is "men are superior to women". The book · copulative "cloud:" Buddha to humble, heaven and earth fixed yi, low to Chen, a high and do... into male, qian kun way into female." Dong han confucianists in the spring and autumn period book · Yang and Yin humble "also puts forward the similar thinking", "Yang beginning the physical also beginning out, Yang FangCheng content also FangCheng, Yang initial failure content also initial failure, the thing with Yang and access", think of all things growth decline depends on the ups and downs of the sun be the spirit. The male tillage female woven feudal society, male master of Yang, in NvZhu belong to Yin, the whole social value system is the male as the leading factor, so the analects of Confucius · Yang cargo "Confucius said:" only a small woman and raise, the near the haughtiness, far of the quarrels with his ", between the lines express the apparent "boys and girls" thought. Thus, the Confucian emphasis on "the doctrine of the mean", claiming that balance of Yin and Yang, and meanwhile emphasizes on Yin Yang. Neijing obviously acceptance of the Confucian school of the "the double ninth festival" idea, is in emphasize balance of Yin and Yang at the same time, and emphasizes the importance of the sun be the spirit, "element asked · beginning or impediment sheng" article cloud: "all of Yin and Yang, Yang secret is solid. "The sun be the spirit, if the first day, allowing the SheShou and inconspicuous; so day luck when to day light. It is so Yang so, who are outside." Think sun be the spirit in the human body the whole life activity plays an important role in, and points out that the balance of the Yin and Yang in a certain extent depends on Yang, namely Yang secret is solid. Yang is nothing more than her secret evil, fine not died within; Yang disease is SheShou and inconspicuous.

        The Confucian "heavy soil" thinking

        Maintain the stability of the country is the feudal dynasty supreme pursuit, and the land is reflected the country the most direct carrier, the imperial first thought influence, and the Confucian always will defend the land as its mission, in the national territory threatened, always there is no lack of people with lofty ideals to stand up, or able gallop across the battlefield, Or send grief in GeFu, or hair YuWenZhang great aspiration. On the basis of zang-fu organs in discusses physiological function, will taste compare to soil, always reiterated the importance of the spleen and stomach, such as: "the stomach is the" (" element asked · jade machine really dirty theory ") "Yang Ming person, the entrails of the sea" (" element asked · confused theory "), "the entrails are most gas in the stomach" (" spirit pivot · five "), "the stomach, taicang" (" spirit pivot · expansion theory ") and so on. It is based on the heavy "stomach soil" thought, "classic" in pathogenesis theory, but also put forward a lot of emphasis on the importance of the spleen and stomach theory of pathogenesis. Such as: "have stomach gas is born, no stomach gas is dead," says that the survival of stomach qi is disease evolution process, the key to good or ill luck to prognosis. "Element asked · flat people meteorological theory" call: "flat of the gas in the stomach often together. A man without stomach qi yue inverse, inverse will die". And yue: "a person with food for this, the old friend unique essence is dead, vein no stomach gas also death", explain stomach qi is the source of human care, it is to decide the main factors of patients with life and death. "Spirit pivot bin god," spleen qi deficiency is limbs need not, the uneasy ", emphasize the importance of spleen. "Element asked · jade machine really hide theory" yue: "pulp porridge into the stomach, drain note check, the virtual person live", may gravely ill pulp porridge, diarrhea bet stop to express stomach gas still save the pathological state that although have the of the virtual, as long as the stomach qi stage have survived the machine, but also emphasize the importance of stomach soil, the pathogenesis theory and the Confucian thought of heavy soil come.
