A Comparative Study Of The Correlation Of "Medicine-Yi-ology"

This is a cross study of Modern Medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine and the Yi-ology. The study explores a new field of study, combining macro-view of Yi-ology and Micro-view of modern lab medical results, to support the correlation between Modern Medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine and the Yi-ology.The Yi-Jing, the Book of Changes, a comprehensive explanation for the rule of the universal, follows the dynamics of changes. It discusses and concludes the universal interactions through elucidation of Yi-ology and generation of Shan. Though rules of the world are wide and complex, Yi-ology can convert complexity into conciseness, and handle wide knowledge with simplicity, through Yin-Yang, negative-positive poles alternation, and Shan, the syndromes generated from Yin-Yang by ways of Yi-ology . While the rules of the world are profound, the Yi-Jing conducts in-depth exploration and probes into mystery through analogism with Yin-Yang and Firm-Yielding alternation as its core, supported by the Five Elements and the Eight Diagrams, coordinated by the sequence as original and inheriting, as well as Hetu and Luoshu, to exert extensive influence on various disciplines by its unique theoretical system and mindset.Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) embodies the wisdom and crystallization of Eastern civilization. Having been challenged by modern real diagnostic science, its theoretical system is precious with its unique philosophy from Western medicine. In recent years, intellectuals focus on reconstructuring their own knowledge systems by applying cross-field study on TCM theory, and Yi-ology is the closest one. The correlation study of Yi-ology and TCM have come to be the main course of Chinese medical study, since, philologically, Yi-ology's coordinates with TCM have been the common sense of modern medical study.Commonly accepted by modern study of the cross Medical-Yi-ology field for a long time, TCM practices are closely related with the Yi-ology, and many doctors apply Yi-ology to perfect the Chinese medical theory. Ming Dynasty medical scientist Zhang Jiebin epitomizes this aspect, as he noted in "Neijing Fuyi—Medicine- Yi-Jing Theory," saying: "Yi, changes, identifies the secrets of Yin and Yang, motion and still. Medicine is to appreciate the mechanism of growth and decline between Yin and Yang. Therefore, humans change while the natural environment changes, the same as the changes between Yin and Yang. Medicine and Yi-Jing derive from the same origin that is the cognition of Yin-yang change of everything in the universe." This opinion briefly makes the point. Modern medical studies put more efforts into applying western medicine theory and lab results while discussing Medicine-Yi-Jing relationship to develop TCM theory in modern science, or even try to apply the correlation theory of TCM and Yi-ology into empirical domains.This study tries to discuss the Yi-ology-CTM relation from both relative theories and practical implementation. First, the discussion covers the correlation of philosophy and fields of basic application between medicine and The Yi-Jing. Second, the study focuses on the possession of both professional skills and humanism together in CTM. Finally, through modern medical experiment, by the means of statistical and diagram analysis, it explores the correlation between clinical effects of TCM and the theory of the Yi-ology.This dissertation is basically divided into three parts:The first part includes Introduction, and chapter one, Medicine-Yi-ology Relationship Differentiation and Analysis. Introduction mainly addresses the beginning, development, current situation, and the ongoing research field of Medicine-Yi-ology correlation research. Chapter one compares several statements of Medicine-Yi-ology relationships to identify the basic category, points of view, and research.The second part serves to establish the correlation between the humanism of TCM and Yi-ology, issues covered from chapter three, the Basic Category of TCM, through chapter eight, Universe-Earth-Human, Theory of Zhou Yi and Correlation Theory between Universe and Human in TCM. This part can be further divided into three sections. First, it mainly explores the three most basic categories—Qi, Yin-Yang, and Five Elements of traditional Chinese medicine so as to describe the characteristics of basic categories, philosophy, and theoretical system integratively. Next, it discusses the correlation between Qihua Theory of Yi-ology and the deep relations among Yin-yang category, the Five Elements category, as well as traditional Chinese medicine. The last section probes the impact of ethics and competence on traditional Chinese medicine as exerted by the Universe-Earth-Human Theory of Yi-ology.The third part covers "The Inspiration of Yi-ology to Modern Medicine". Applying empirical research, taking fibroblast heating experiments as the example, to prove the correlation between therapy principles and drug effects of traditional Chinese medicine and Yi-ology theory; meanwhile, it explores the enlightenment of Yi-ology theory for TCM therapy of modern diabetes and daily diet structure of diabetics through the example of "Yi" Kua and by the means of individual cases.
