Abstract:
[Objective]To explore the connotation of"liver corresponding to dampness evil"in Lingshu·Jiugong Bafeng.[Methods]Based on the analysis of the original text of Lingshu·Jiugong Bafeng,the mechanisms for the"liver corresponding to dampness evil"were explored through the collection and collation of relevant ancient and modern literature,Combine with modern clinical application,and the clinical prevention and treatment of"dampness injury caused by the abnormal liver Qi"was analyzed in combination with modern clinical application.[Results]Through the analysis of the original text of Lingshu·Jiugong Bafeng,it can be seen that the text unifies time and space by describing the law of Taiyi marches in the nine palaces,reflecting the ancient unified view of time and space.Through describing the divination methods in the course of the tour,it is proposed that Taiyi tour will cause wind and rain,and the"wind"is divided into deficiency and excess,and the human body is connected with time and space through the deficient wind of eight directions,forming the early traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)view of time and space,which unifies time,space and viscera.Liver corresponding to dampness evil,from the perspective of time and space,the spring and the east are corresponding to the liver,the spring is rainy,and the east is near the sea,which can make the eastern deficient wind and excessive moisture;in the autumn equinox in the west,it is easy to be attacked by the dampness of the eastern deficient wind,the western viscera should be the lung,and the eastern viscera should be the liver.From the perspective of the viscera,it is deficiency of the lung Qi,the liver Qi invading the lung,and the imbalance of Qi movement leads to the internal dampness,which leads to the external dampness invasion.According to the clinical application,the irregular liver Qi can cause the body to be injured by dampness.In the prevention and treatment process,it is necessary to regulate the liver,harmonize the liver and lung,take care of the spleen and stomach,comply with the four seasons,and nourish the body and spirit.[Conclusion]"Liver corresponding to dampness evil"in Lingshu·Jiugong Bafeng is related to the early TCM view of time and space reflected in the original text,which can be understood by combining time and space with organs.The unregulated liver Qi can cause the body to be harmed by dampness,it is necessary to regulate the liver,combined with regulating the lung,spleen and stomach,and obey the law of four seasons to nourish the body and spirit in the process of prevention and treatment.
