Yang governs yin and obeys.

Yang dominates Yin and obeys, which is a programmatic view on the relationship between Yin and Yang put forward by Mr. Lu Chonghan on the basis of the ancients' exposition. It can also be called yang dominating yin.

First of all, we illustrate this view from the discussion of the Book of Changes. In the Book of Changes, there is a cloud in the dry divination: the dry yuan is great, and everything begins to unify the sky. There is a cloud in "Kun Gua": it is the most precious thing of Kun Yuan, and all materials are born to inherit heaven. It can be seen from these two statements about Gankun hexagrams that the ancients believed that Yang played a decisive role in nature, so Yang ruled the sky and Yin inherited it. Yang is the foundation of all life, and Yin is the foundation of all life. It can also be seen that in the Book of Changes, the view that Yang dominates and Yin obeys is very clear.

So, what is the main content of yang governing yin obeying? Here is a brief introduction from the following aspects.

1, generating yin.

Yang can give birth to Yin, which means that if Yin wants to be rich in metaplasia, the prerequisite is the exuberance and good luck of Yang. Only when the yang is strong and the luck is good, the yin will be transformed, grown and enriched. This point is also clearly discussed in Huangdi Neijing. "Yin and Yang correspond" cloud: Yang gives birth to Yin and Yang grows. These two sentences vividly illustrate the relationship between yin and yang.

2. Yin follows Yang.

Yin follows Yang, which means that in the operation of Yin and Yang, Yang is in charge of the operation of Yin; In other words, Yin cannot live without Yang. Yang is the motive force of operation. Without the motive force of Yang, Yin will become dead Yin, and life will end. Here we quote a passage from the father of Qin An to illustrate this truth. Cloud: One foot is Yang, one foot is Yin, one inch is Yang and one inch is Yin. A good illustration of this truth.

3. Yang spirit plays a leading role in the whole life activities of human body.

Here, we use a passage from Lu Chonghan to illustrate this problem. Professor Lu Chonghan said in Fu Yang Notes: Without Yang in the heart, blood can't function normally; Spleen without yang, Shui Gu unchanged; Without yang in the liver, diarrhea and blood storage cannot be stopped normally; Without yang in the lung, the function of promoting descent will be abnormal; The kidney has no Yang Can, and the yin is turbid and stagnated. Therefore, the reason for the growth and decline of yin and yang is that yang rises and yin falls normally; Yang descending yin can rise normally. Without the distribution of Yang, it is impossible for Yin and Yang to rise and fall normally. On the contrary, the distribution of Yang is a necessary prerequisite for the rise and fall of Yin and Yang.

Professor Lu's exposition makes us clearly feel the important role of yang in human life activities. At the same time, it also gives us the following enlightenment.

First, cure is cure, just as Professor Lu said, "Are you treating disease or treating qi?" Are you treating a disease or a disease? "As long as the patient's yang is well managed and made full of health, then any disease will be cured and people will be really healthy.

Second, if it is not true heat and yin deficiency, don't make the mistake of "nourishing yin to reduce fire, killing people doesn't count" and overdraw the health of patients. Abuse of nourishing yin and bitter cold, although sometimes effective, is based on the premise of damaging the health of patients. The hidden dangers left behind are also worrying.

Third, it is said that it is cloudy. Actually, Yin can't pour by itself. Only when Yang is completely healthy will Yin decline.

Fourth, in clinical practice, we should always take protecting, dredging and supporting Yang as our own responsibility, and never do anything that hurts, damages or stagnates Yang.

From the above discussion, we can see the leading role of yang, that is, yang is the driving force and yin is the material. Only with materials steamed in Yang Can can the human body have normal physiological functions and be healthy. If Yang Can can't function normally, diseases will break out and all diseases will appear. Knowing these truths, we should always take the principles of nourishing, protecting and dredging Yang in clinic, so that the human body can be full of yang, run smoothly, get rid of diseases and live a long and healthy life, which is also the ultimate goal of our study of Lu Zheng medicine!
