The relationships among Jing,Shen,Hun and Po under the perspective of pivotal movement
HUANG Yuanyu,a famous TCM master,advocated the ancient classics,conducted in-depth research on the ascending and descending of Yin(阴)and Yang(阳)and their circularly mutual transformation,and produced a large number of works throughout his life,among which Sisheng Xinyuan(《四圣心源》)was the culmination of his scholarship.The theoretical system of pivotal movement proposed in the book visualized and dynamized the theory of Yin and Yang in TCM,greatly expanding and enriching the pathogenesis and treatment principles of diseases and syndromes.In this theoretical system,the operation of Qi movement(气机)in the human body presents in a circular motion form,and Zhongqi(中气)as the core axis rotates inside to regulate the ascending and descending of the four-dimensional wheels externally.The axis and the wheels interact with each other in cycles to maintain the physiological states of Qi and blood balance,and the unceasing exchange of Jing(精)and Shen(神).Among them,Jing constitutes the human body and sustains life activities.Shen dominates the physiological and psychological aspects of the human body.Hun(魂)follows Shen to regulate consciousness and thinking,and Po(魄)and Jing jointly constitute the human sensory form and in charge of instinctive reactions.Starting from the theoretical framework of pivotal movement,based on the relationship between the ascending and descending of Yin and Yang,the relationships among Jing,Shen,Hun,and Po are comprehensively explained in this paper.Taking two diseases of palpitation and madness in Sisheng Xinyuan which have common symptoms with modern medical mental disorders,HUANG's core treatment approach of cultivating Zhongqi to restore its ascending and descending functions,and manipulating four-dimensional movements to regulate Qi movement are also analyzed in the paper.Zhongqi is unobstructed,pivotal movement returns to normal,and Qi movement in the human body regains balance,then the pathogenic factors are eliminated,and Jing and Shen are at peace.The pivotal movement theoretical system established by HUANG Yuanyu not only provides a new perspective for understanding human life activities,but also offers new ideas and methods for the clinical treatment of mental disorders.
