Basic Theory of TCM
TCM theory is based on human life and disease activity changes of theoretical generalization, which mainly include yin and yang, five elements, luck, viscera, meridians and other theories, as well as the etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis method, dialectical, treatment, therapies, prevention, health and so on. Yin and yang of ancient Chinese philosophy category. Yin and Yang theory, everything that the universe has a unity of opposites of yin and yang are two aspects, constantly in motion and interactions. The movement and interaction, is the source of motion of all things. This constant motion of the ancients, called "biochemical endless." "Q" Yin and Yang should be as large discourse: "Yin and Yang of Heaven and Earth is also (the existence of the unity of opposites is the fundamental law of all things), discipline of all things (all things not contrary to this rule exists), the parents in a changing (things that change is both yin and yang from the thing itself, the formation of constant movement and interaction), life and death of the beginning (the creation and destruction of things come from this fundamental rule), the gods of the House also (this is where all the wonders of nature), it will seek medical treatment in the (so in order to cure disease, we must begin with the fundamental issue - be resolved on the yin and yang). " Illustrates the growth of the universe all things, development and disappearance, are two aspects of yin and yang of things in constant motion and interaction. Thus, the yin and yang theory has become understanding and mastering the laws of nature as a way of thinking. The scope of medicine are natural science that human physiological activities, development of the disease, but also beyond this truth no yin and yang. Therefore, we want to control the disease process, and explore the nature of disease, resulting in satisfactory outcome, we must explore the changes the body's yin and yang. Theory of five elements, that is, wood, fire, earth, metal, water, philosophical categories to summarize the five objective properties of different things in the world, and the five elements Allelopathy dynamic model to explain the linkages between things, and Conversion. "Five Elements" means the motion of these five substances, as well as their relations to the phase, Please, explain things as between grams and sports related changes of the reasoning tools. Chinese medicine describes the major internal organs with the five elements theory of functional relationship between the organs imbalance and the mechanism of disease, but also to guide the internal organs diseases. Doctrine, also known as Five and Six, is to study and explore nature, astronomy, meteorology, and climate change on human health and disease of the doctrine. Transportation of Five including wood, fire, transportation, earth movement, Jin Yun and water, referring to the nature of the year in spring, summer, long summer, autumn and winter monsoonal circulation. Gas is a year round six strokes, cold, heat, wet, dry, fire six climatic factors. Doctrine is based on parameters of astronomical calendar year projections of climate change and disease occurrence. Organs theory, main internal organs (heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney), six internal organs (small intestine, large intestine, stomach, bladder, gall bladder, triple burner) and EXTRAORDINARY organs (brain, marrow, bone, veins, gallbladder, uterus ) The physiological function and pathological changes. Meridian theory is closely related with the internal organs. Blood meridian is the human body to run the channel, there are internal and external communication, the network effect of the body. In pathological situations, changes in the meridian system function, will show the appropriate signs and symptoms, through which the performance of the body organs to diagnose disease.

Knowledge of Chinese herbal medicines
Now, with the development of traditional Chinese medicine resources and research, and many folk medicine drugs are also included in the scope. Therefore, Chinese medicine is based on traditional Chinese medicine theory, for the prevention and treatment of diseases of plants, animals, minerals and processed products, whether produced in China, foreign, both said traditional Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine has a unique theoretical system and application forms, fully reflects our natural resources and historical, cultural and other characteristics. Chinese map (www.pharmnet.com.cn/tcm/zybb/) library of Chinese medicine to build a strong image database, including the various sources of medicines and Pieces pictures, and introduces the basic information of various herbal medicines and processing methods ! Now contains more than 600 commonly used Chinese herbal flavor, with a clearer picture, source, Pieces and price information. The compatibility of traditional Chinese medicine refers to the destination according to the needs and potency characteristics of the disease, _select_ed with the two drugs with the use of more than taste. The occurrence and development of disease is often complex, rapidly changing, and usually presents the actual situation and to see, mixed cold and heat, and the number of disease phase, it is a drug used alone is difficult and balanced. So often need to use clinical two or more drugs. Drugs with the use of drugs and certain drug interactions can occur between and, if efficacy can enhance or reduce the original, and some can inhibit or eliminate side effects, while others can produce or enhance toxicity. Therefore, the use of two or more medicines taste, it must be _select_ive, which raises the relationship between drug compatibility. Previous application of the single herbs and drugs with the drug compatibility relationship between the drugs known as the "seven emotions", "seven emotions", unless the single person, the remaining six are about the compatibility relations. Are described as follows: (a) one-way: that no compatibility, single-blind drug used to cure diseases, known as single line. Gold powder is as clear skullcap alone blindly, hemoptysis Hyperactivity Syndrome governance. (B) phase to be: about the performance effects of drugs with similar applications to enhance the original effect. Such as gypsum and Zhimu with, can significantly enhance the therapeutic effect of heat purging fire; with rhubarb and Glauber's salt, can significantly enhance the capture of heat treatment diarrhea; scorpion, centipede with the use, can significantly enhance the role of Zhijing given twitch. (C) phase to make: that is, in effect have some common properties, or properties of effectiveness, though not the same, but the drug for therapeutic purposes consistent with the application, and to a drug-based, supplemented by adding a drug can increase the main drug efficacy. Qi Astragalus benefits such as water and the benefits of water when the spleen with Poria, Poria qi Astragalus benefits can improve the water treatment. (D) phase fear: that a drug toxicity or side effects, another drug can be reduced or eliminated. Such as raw Pinellia and raw ginger Southern Star's toxicity can be reduced or eliminated, so that the raw Pinellia and raw fear ginger Southern Star. (E) phase to kill: that a drug can reduce or eliminate the toxicity of another drug or side effects. If ginger can reduce or eliminate the raw Pinellia and raw Southern Star toxicity or side effects, so that the ginger and raw Pinellia killing Southern Star. It can be seen, compared with fear, as opposed to kill is actually a reference to the same compatibility between the two is to treat each other in terms of drugs. (F) phase evil: the combination of two drugs, a drug can reduce the original effect of another drug, or even lost. Radish evil such as ginseng, ginseng for radish seed to weaken the role of qi. (Vii) the opposite: that the two drugs combined, can produce or enhance the toxicity or side effects. Such as "Eighteen," "nineteenth fear" in the number of drugs. In addition to the above six areas outside the one-way, the change in relationship can be summarized as four, that is the case in the application compatibility: ① some drugs due to synergies and enhance efficacy, clinical use is to take full advantage of the time; ② Some medications may off_set_ against each other, weakening the original effects, medication should be noted; ③ Some drugs are due to the interplay, and can reduce or eliminate the toxicity or side effects of the original, in the application of toxic or potent drugs must be considered when drug use; ④ Some Drugs produced or enhanced by interactions side effects, belonging to incompatibility, in principle, should be avoided with use. Based on the above, we can see from the compatibility of single herbs to the application of the practice through a long process of gradual accumulation of wealth and knowledge up. Compatibility of drug application is the main form of Chinese medicine. Be combined according to certain testimonies of drug and to determine the weight of a certain percentage, made the appropriate dosage forms, is the prescription. Prescription of drug compatibility, and is also higher in the form of drug application compatibility.

Ancient (classical) TCM history
Chinese produced in primitive society, the Spring and Autumn Chinese medicine theory has been basically formed, there has been anatomical and medical specialties have adopted the "four clinics," there are some acupuncture therapy, acupuncture, decoction, moxibustion, guidance, cloth air, wishing the other . Western Han period, starting with yin and yang to explain human physiology, a "medical engineering", lilies, brass keys and so on. Eastern Han Dynasty, the famous physician Zhongjing there, he had the "eight principles" (yin and yang, exterior and interior, actual situation, cold and heat) be aware of, summed up the "Eight." Hua Zeyi proficient in surgery and anesthesia world famous, but also created a fitness gym, "Wu Qin Xi." Sun Ssu Tang summarizes the theory and summarizes the experience of their predecessors, gathering more than 5,000 prescription and use of dialectical therapy, due to the highest ethics, was revered as "King of Medicine." After the Tang Dynasty, a large number of Chinese medical theories and writings rumored to Korea, Japan, Central Asia, West Asia and other places. Song Dynasty, the Song Imperial Government to _set_ up School of Medicine, Medical Polyclinic nearly complete, and the unity of the Chinese acupuncture points disorder caused by the private copies, publishing "Figure Classic." Jin and Yuan dynasties, Chinese medicine began to decline. After the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there was the time of febrile disease faction faction faction gradually replaced by the Chinese side. In the late Ming Dynasty, a book of Li's "Compendium of Materia Medica" marks the decline of Pharmacology. Same period, the Mongolian and Tibetan by Chinese influence. Eastern medicine in Korea has also been greatly developed, such as Xu Jun wrote "Donguibogam." Since the Qing Dynasty, the Chinese invaded by Western powers, fortunes weak. At the same time modern medicine (WM) influx, a serious impact on the development of Chinese medicine. There were many who advocated the Chinese medical modernization of Chinese medicine are enormous challenges. People started thinking of western medical system to view, save and waste medicine into the debate.

"Yellow Emperor" (www.pharmnet.com.cn/tcm/knowledge/detail/100677.html) has been used as the classic ancient physicians. In the position of the vast universe is small, the days of human impact is enormous, and a knowledge of health in five people in the world and Six gas changes, you should learn how to comply with the laws of nature, so that disease control can change in the bud stage. So, "has died of the disease and stage a disease" is the truth. And to uphold the doctrine, know how to comply with the laws of nature is the healer, "SG." This classification change will be in Medicine (General) from the application program to the two as, first, "health science", one "medicine." The former is the treatment of diseases of the SG, the latter rule has been ill for getting off work. 1, the human body is an organic whole Medicine under the guidance of the overall concept that the body's normal physiological activities depend on the one hand, the function of organs and tissues play a role in other organs and organizations in turn rely on synergy and complementarity between the opposite and complementary role of constraints in order to maintain its physiological balance. Each has its own organs and different functions, but under the overall activities in the division of labor, organic complexes, which is the unity of the body part and the whole. Understanding and analysis of disease in the pathological condition, the medicine was the first holistic approach, focusing on the local lesions caused by pathological changes in the overall and the local pathological changes and the overall pathological response unified. In general, the body of a local pathological changes, often with the body's organs, blood, yin and yang of the rise and fall related. The organs, tissues and organs in the physiological, pathological interaction and mutual influence, and thus to determine the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, through looking, body, tongue, pulse to outside changes, to understand and judge its intrinsic disease, to make a correct diagnosis, thus the appropriate treatment. The human body is an organic whole, in the treatment of localized disease, we must also proceed from the general to take appropriate measures. For example, the heart opens into the tongue, heart and small intestine phase table, so it can be pure heart and small intestine fire way to heat treatment of diarrhea tongue erosion. It is like "from the Yin Yang cited, quoted from the yin yang, left to the right rule to the left of the right rule" ("Su asked to be as big of yin and yang"), "the patient was obtained from the last person, the sick the next person to take the high "(" Miraculous Pivot circulates "), etc., are identified in the overall view of the treatment under the guidance of the principle. 2, with the unity of man and nature Human life in nature, there are natural necessary condition for human survival. Meanwhile, changes in nature and can directly or indirectly affect the body, and the body reacts accordingly, are within the physiological range, that is, the physiological adaptability; beyond this range, that is, pathological response. Hence we say: "Man and the corresponding world also" ("Miraculous Pivot evil guest"), "heaven and earth, who is also participating, also corresponding with the sun and the moon" ("coffin-year-old Lu"). The characteristics of the unity of man and nature by ancient Chinese scholars as "Heaven." Changes in the twilight during the day and night, the body also must be adapted. Day as the sun, the night is cloudy, the body is born yang morning, noon, Longsheng yang, yang to the night is reserved to facilitate the body a rest and restore energy. Time and the incidence of many diseases caused by the time of death is also a certain law. Such as research shows that the peak of the five internal organs failure and death caused by the time midnight to dawn, spring and summer period of acute myocardial infarction occurred in the hour of midnight to Sishi, while autumn and winter, the on_set_ of the disease more than in the noon to Haishi. In addition it was observed that people's pulse, temperature, oxygen consumption, carbon dioxide release, hormone secretion, have 24-hour rhythm. Luck according to Chinese medicine theory, the climate has twelve years and six years of cyclical changes, which also affected the incidence of the human body. In recent years, scientists have found that the twelve or six years of the variation and solar activity cycle (11 years or 12 years) related. Sunspot activity will produce periodic changes in solar radiation and strong magnetic interference, changing climate, and thus the body's physiological and pathological impact. Regional differences, people's living habits and physical condition are also very different. Such as the South more heat, more loose body Cou; of northern China, the dry cold, from the dense body Cou. Therefore, each region also has its own unique endemic. Even the average life expectancy of people in different regions are quite different. As early as two thousand years ago, the ancient Chinese physicians to be aware of this, in the "Q" on this issue made a more detailed exposition. Such as "Su asked the five permanent members of National Chengchi University," said: "the higher life of its gas, the next by the gas prematurely, to the small differences are large and small are minor differences, the big big difference. Therefore, treatment who will tomorrow Geographic Road ... .... " It is because of the unity of the human body itself and between man and nature, there is the relationship between unity of opposites, so to treat the disease because of the time, location, due to the person, to become an important traditional Chinese medicine the therapeutic principles. Therefore, the decision of the patient for diagnosis and treatment must take note of and consider the situation in the external environment and the organic body and the body of local lesions and general condition of the organic link, which is an important characteristic of Chinese medicine - the whole concept.
