Discussion On The Origin And Application Of Ministerial Fire Theory

ObjectThe development of Chinese medicine that theoretical results and clinical practice could be described as the fruitful can be traced back to ancient times.Ministerial fire,as an early theoretical product,has been continuously enriched by the great masters of the past dynasties,and Ministerial fire and its related theories have a deeper and broader connotation.In the process of expanding each physician,a hundred scholars described their opinions and formed their own theoretical characteristics.Therefore,the purpose of this topic is to systematically sort out the source and flow of the Ministerial fire by discussing the related literature of the Ministerial fire,summarize the source and the branches of the Ministerial fire,and the development and application of its related theories,in order to better guide the development and application of the related theories.MethodsThis article takes time as a clue,and uses various literatures about Ministerial fire,related theories,and links with various clinical disciplines as the main body of the research.There are several research methods including historical research methods,genetic research methods,philology research methods and logic research methods to systematically sort,analyze and summarize.From the emergence of " Ministerial fire " to the opinions of medical experts on it,from commonality to individuality,from connection to difference,I tried to discuss the Ministerial fire,summarize the evolution and inheritance of Ministerial fire,and then have a better source of it.For systematic and deep understanding,it has further guiding significance for clinical practice.Results1.The "source" of Ministerial fire: " Ministerial fire " was first seen in the "Huang Di Nei Jing",and " Ministerial fire Theory" began with a physician named in the Jin Dynasty.2.The "flow" of Ministerial fire: The Jin and Yuan Dynasties were the heyday of Ministerial fire theory.Zhu Danxi discussed the physiological and pathological changes of Ministerial fire from the perspective of Neo-Confucianism.At this time,the theoretical system of Ministerial fire has been basically perfected.Zhang Jingyue believes that both the Sovereign fire and the Ministerial fire are healthy Qi in the human body,and the Ministerial fire originated from the Mingmen.During the Ming and Qing Dynasties,Li Shizhen,Zhao Xianke and others developed Zhu Danxi’s theory of Ministerial fire and supplemented the clinical application.3.The core connotation of the theory of Ministerial fire: Ministerial fire is transformed by the vital energy,controlled by the gate of life,and resides in the liver and kidneys.It uses the pericardium as a filling,and uses the triple-energy as a channel to warm and nourish the body’s internal organs,limbs and meridians.The purpose is to promotes the orderly progress of human life activities.4.The application law of Ministerial fire theory: The application of Ministerial fire theory in the treatment of diseases can be divided into two major categories: exogenous disease of Ministerial fire and endogenous disease of Ministerial fire.In the case of exogenous disease of Ministerial fire,the retrograde treatment is often used,and the treatment of the endogenous disease of Ministerial fire is the orthodox treatment.ConclusionThe theory of Ministerial fire of traditional Chinese medicine has been formed a relatively mature theoretical system of Ministerial fire under various dynasties of doctors’ s clinical practice,theoretical reasoning and generalization.This topic takes time as the axis,presenting the origin,occurrence,development and formation of Ministerial fire theory one by one.The article is combined with clinical practice to show the application and law of the theory of Ministerial fire in various clinical disciplines.It constructs the framework system of the Ministerial fire theory relatively systematically and preliminarily,fully demonstrated the deep law of the development of the relative fire theory.By exploring the "source" and "flow" of the theory of Ministerial fire in traditional Chinese medicine,the subject not only deepen the significance for the guidance of clinical practice but also further improved the basic system of the theories of traditional Chinese medicine.
