Analysis On Theoretical Evolution From Liver Storing Blood And Blood Possessing Soul To Liver Storing Blood And Controlling Dispersion

Objective:To study the origin and development from ancient Chinese medicine literature of the liver storing blood and blood possessing soul as well asliver storing blood and controlling dispersion theory,and summarize the connotation of physiological function of the liver in each historical period,and according to the change of social and cultural background,analyse the evolution and influence from liver storing blood and blood possessing soul to liver storing blood and liver controlling dispersion,and improve the physiological function of the liver.Method:Reviewing the physiological functions of liver from the content of ancient Chinese medicine literature,and based on the literature review,adopting the method of the Archaeology of knowledge,to discuss the different connotation of the two basic discourse units about liver storing blood and blood possessing soul as well as livercontrolling dispersion from the various historical periods,and in breaking of its concept,from the social and cultural background,explore the causes and context of evolution.Result: 1.In Pre-Qin and Han period,Neijingmainly basedon the ideologyof Taoism and the Book of Changes put forward the "liver storing blood,blood possessing soul",and blood with soul is homologous andvary from mu-qi。In line with the image comparison classification,the two is differentiatedfrom the Logos and Utensils;and liver controlling dispersion theory is only confined to doctrine on yunqi at that time.The following Jin and Tang period,due to the prevalence of metaphysics,liver visceral manifestation theory is still originated from the Taoist,and the ideology of spirit and soul is still applied in clinical practice by physicians.2.In Song and Ming period,Confucian physician group appear,utilizing Neo Confucianism to reconstruct the theory of traditional Chinese medicine.liver visceral manifestation theory,due to the disease status of that time,on the basis of Shao Yong’s Tai Ji theory,from borrowing a word "dispersion" from doctrine on yunqi,to analogying between the wood in Neijing and liver by image comparison classification,develops intothe theory of liver controlling dispersion.The theory of liver controlling dispersion is dominant,and the soul is deemed to ascending yangqi,changing to the dispersion function.3.In Qing and the Republic of China period,under the influence of Puxue retro,the liver body yin and function yang theoryemerges,liver qi and liver-yang theory forming,instead of the function of soul,accomplishing the transition fromliver storing blood and blood possessing soul to liver controlling dispersion.Chinese and Western interflow after the introduction of Western medicine,accommodates the theoretical contradiction between East and West,and the physiological function of the liver is adjusted and supplemented.4.After the founding of the PRC,based on previous theoretical work,also combined with the physiological function of liver in Western medicine,the content of liver controlling dispersion is constantly enriched,and its status is greatly improved;the spirit theory of traditional Chinese medicine,has been widely questioned.Conclusion:The Huang-Lao Taoism gives priority to "Yin",the Confucian focuses on "Yang".With the transformation of philosophy in Chinese Medicine andthe change of argument angle,the interpretation of the function of the liver is changed from the concept under "logosand utensils" of the liver storing blood and blood possessing soul to the concept under the “Ti”and“Yong” theory ofthe liver storing blood and controlling dispersion.
