Analysis of the theory of the four properties and five flavors in Huangdi Neijing
Based on the doctrines of qi,yin and yang,and the five elements,Huangdi Neijing constructs a theoretical system of four properties and five flavors.The theory of the four properties originates from the differences in temperature between the four seasons,and its essence is the regulation of the imbalance of yin and yang in the human body,with the law of'treating cold with heat,and treating heat with cold',focusing on conformity with the climatic environment.theory of the five flavors originated from a summary of the relationship between the tastes and effects of medicine and food.Huangdi Neijing places the five flavors in the system of the five elements,thus elaborating on the relationship between the five flavors and heaven,earth,and man.In terms of the earth,the five flavors are born from the qi of heaven and earth and are subject to the qi of the earth.In terms of human beings,the relationship between the five flavors and the human body is centered on the five organs,forming a network of'five flavors-five organs-five bodies',and its effects on the human body include nourishment,injury and treatment.In terms of heaven,the five flavors can regulate the imbalance of natural qi and its essence is to harmonize the five organs of the human body and correct the imbalance caused by the change of natural qi.The theory of the four properties and five flavors of Huangdi Neijing laid a solid theoretical foundation for the construction and development of the theory of drug property.
