Abstract: Depression,as a common mental illness in the world,has troubled hundreds of millions of patients,affecting the normal life and work of patients,and in serious cases,suicidal tendencies may occur. Depression can be classified into the categories of stagnation syndrome,running piglet,lily disease,and other diseases in traditional Chinese medicine,the mechanism of the disease is mostly related to depression and stagnation,and the clinical symptoms such as low mood and oppression in chest often appear. Based on ZHANG Jingyue's theory of "yang moving and dispersing",under the pathological state of "yang moving and dispersing",yang disperses and is deficient,leading to yang immobile,and then becomes depression,which ultimately leading to yang depression and the onset of the disease. Clinical treatment should be based on the basic therapeutic method of promoting yang and resolving depression,warming and tonifying yang qi,and regulating qi movement,so as to carry out the syndrome differentiation and treatment of depression.
