Therefore, theycouldn’t inherit and carry forward Wang medical thought.This paper made research and summed up on Wang Shi Yi Cun, discussed several partssuch as:qi theory, constitutional theory, theory of etiology, medicine, gynecology etc.Wang believed that the middle qi was the most essential part of the human body whichformed essence, qi, spirit. Maintaining essence, qi and spirit was maintenance middle-qi.Ifessence, qi and spirit injured, middle qi would injure, yin and yang would lose balance.Wang made dialectical unity of middle qi and essence, qi and spirit,providing a new idea andreference for the health and medical treatment.Wang’s discussion on physical theory was division of constitution by yin and Yang andcorrecting yin and yang for treatment. He made the fat and thin people,two significantlydifferent constitution, as an example, explaining the clinical application of the constitutiontheory.Wang stressed the importance of poor blood in the etiology and pathogenesis ofdiscourse Thought.He believed that qi and blood was the main substance to maintain life,which played a major role in human physiology, pathology process. He pointed out thatimpede circulation of qi and blood caused by blood coagulation and qi stagnation was themain reason leading to disease. He advocated that we could practice prevailing eight section brocade to promote blood running and take exercise to keep health and prevent disease.Wang believed that the pulse was the middle qi on the surface performance.He usedmild level of the pulse as the diagnosis standard.But he did not blindly argue the pulsemedical consultation,advocating four diagnostic parameters,diagnosis and treatmentWang also had their own unique insights in febrile disease, thinking those who hadinfectious diseases, all belonged to the category of plague.When diagnosis of disease,weshould highlight the evil plague of film and can not rigidly adhere to the original pulse but tosee symptoms of chest and diaphragm boredom, pain swelling, heat thirst, mechanical,vomiting and other pathogenic membrane sources.Wang believed that in gynecology, disease belonging to the innate should not betreated.In the diagnosis of fetal pulse doctors should master the normal fetal pulse based onthe inquiry in conjunction with other diagnostic methods, such as pulse diagnosis,integrated use, before being diagnosed.Wang also had the innovation on the elder’s health and health care. he thought thathuman life was due to middle qi, so the daily regimen should be the maintenance of middleqi.
