Abstract:
By sorting out the literature related to constitution and referring to the concept and method of "element"， many ancient and modern theories of constitution are deconstructed into multi-dimensional "constitution elements". These constitution elements are divided into two levels： basic and derivative. The basic level is the most basic element of constitution， including zang-fu organs/body and material. The zang-fu organs/body dimension focuses on the fixed functional units in the human body， and the material dimension focuses on the rheology functional units of human body. The derivative level is the secondary physiological or psychological state in life activities， including emotion and qi transformation. The emotional dimension focuses on the state of human psychological activities， and the qi transformation dimension focuses on the state of human physiological activities in cold， heat， dampness， and dryness. Based on this， we can further study the influence of factors such as age， gender， region， and social class， on the combination rule of "constitution element"， so as to form a more comprehensive classification program of constitution.
