Abstract:
This paper systematically analyzed the understanding of qi from the perspectives of matter, energy, information and relationship reality, introduced the original holistic principle of systematic traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), and considered the latest research results of qi (three-layer material theory), trying to optimize the structure framework of the qi theoretical system and exhibit the occurrence and development rules of original qi. It emphasizes the hierarchical order of qi transformation following the original holistic principle, and takes this to guide the clinical understanding of “qi diseases”, helping doctors grasp the basic pathogenesis of the disease, that is abnormal qi movement, and helping them establish the awareness of providing systematic TCM treatment to patients by taking qi regulation as the key. At the same time, it discusses people within the structure of time and space, and points out that the treatment of diseases must comply with the principle of “the harmony of heaven, earth, and human beings”.
