"The so-called Five Elements Theory refers to the ancient philosophical theory of understanding the characteristics of the five substances of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water and their laws of production and restraint, and applying the systematic structure and methodology of explaining nature to traditional Chinese medicine.

The basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine is used to explain the interrelationships between the human body's internal organs, the properties of the internal organs, tissues and organs, movement changes, and the relationship between the human body and the external environment."

"There is a close relationship between the five elements, the five internal organs, and the five wills, which are mutually beneficial and mutually restrictive..."

"We, Chinese medicine practitioners, apply the "Five Elements Theory" to the treatment of psychosomatic diseases. By regulating emotions and cleverly combining medicines, we promote the recovery of psychosomatic diseases."

Dr. Hu stood on the podium, stood with his hands behind his hands, and slowly talked about these theories and principles of traditional Chinese medicine in casual words. While talking, he looked at the students on the stage and said casually: "These theories

There are clear theorems in the book, so I won’t write them down on the blackboard, but everyone must memorize it, or at least understand it. If you don’t even understand such basic principles, then you don’t deserve to be said to have learned the basics of traditional Chinese medicine!”

"And such theories are extremely basic in the application of traditional Chinese medicine. Something that can be called a foundation, that is to say... without these foundations, then this set of theories still relies on

Chinese medicine’s efforts to treat illnesses and save lives are all fantasies..."

Jiang Yuan sat here, looking at Dr. Hu's casual and carefree appearance. He was quite impressed and said to himself: "It's really good to be a teacher. At least I can see so many students around here listening eagerly."

It must be quite refreshing to feel like you are making comments!"

"Wood means bending and straightness...fire means fire means rising up...earth means growing crops and walls...metal means Congge...water means moistening means going down...these are the characteristics of the five elements..."

Under Dr. Hu's narration, the class passed quickly. Dr. Hu looked at his watch and saw that there was only a quarter of an hour left before the end of get out of class, so he stopped teaching and said with a smile: "Okay. ..Now is the time for questions. If you don’t understand something, or if you didn’t hear something clearly, you can ask it..."

I have to say that Dr. Hu can calm down the scene when he is serious, but when he is casual, he also seems extremely easy-going and approachable.

Following Dr. Hu's words, there was a short period of silence in the classroom, but soon someone raised their hands to ask questions.

No matter what, Professor Hu just made it very clear that if you want to get credits, in addition to grades, you also have to look at class performance. Isn’t this class interaction just class performance? Since there are questions, of course you have to ask them; so like this

Some smart students think about things very clearly.

"Professor... Just now you mentioned the method of 'tonifying the mother and purging the child'. I don't quite understand what you mean..." A male classmate bravely asked.

"Well...yes, this question is indeed a bit difficult to understand for those of you who are new to the Five Elements Theory..." Dr. Hu praised with a smile, which made the boy's face show a hint of joy.

Jiang Yuan was sitting down and dozing off when he suddenly heard Dr. Hu above him say: "Teacher Jiang... come up and answer the students' questions..."

"Uh..." Jiang Yuan stiffened, then looked up at Dr. Hu, and saw Dr. Hu looking at him. Jiang Yuan suddenly woke up, and hurriedly got up and walked to the podium.

"To nourish the mother and relieve the son?" Seeing the two hundred people staring at him curiously and with some admiration, Jiang Yuan was a little nervous and finally remembered the question of the classmate just now, stood on the podium, stretched out his hand

He covered his mouth and coughed, calmed down for a moment, and then squeezed out a smile on his face;

He raised his head and looked at the students around him, and then said softly: "Building the mother and purging the son is also known as 'if it is deficient, it nourishes its mother, but if it is real, it purges its son'." Everyone knows that the five elements are mutually reinforcing and restraining each other, and wood produces fire, that is, wood is the mother of fire.

, Fire gives birth to earth, that is, fire is the mother of earth..."

"The five internal organs correspond to the five elements. The liver belongs to wood, the heart belongs to fire, the spleen belongs to earth, the lungs belong to metal, and the kidneys belong to water..."

For such a theory that he was familiar with, Jiang Yuan became more and more fluent as he spoke. The slightest trace of nervousness had long since disappeared as he explained the truth...

The students around them all looked attentively at this teacher who looked younger but was obviously much more approachable than Professor Hu, and listened very seriously...

As for Dr. Hu, who was standing aside, he nodded secretly with a look of satisfaction on his face...

"Ten Mu is for the treatment of deficiency syndromes that have a mother-child relationship. Let me give you an example, such as tonifying the kidney for liver deficiency. Because the kidney is the mother of the liver, the kidney-tonifying water can produce liver wood. Xie Zi is for the treatment of the mother-child relationship.

For example, if the liver is excessive and the heart is purged, purging the heart is the son of the liver, so purging the heart fire helps to purge the liver wood. This is tonifying the mother and purging the son..."

Jiang Yuan looked at the boy with a smile and said, "Classmate, do you understand?"

Jiang Yuan's explanation was so profound and simple, and the boy obviously understood what it meant. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Thank you, Teacher Jiang... I understand!"

Jiang Yuan smiled and nodded, glanced at Dr. Hu, saw a smile on his face, and then asked everyone: "Is there any other classmates who have questions?"

Someone took the lead, and now the person standing on the podium was a very friendly and handsome young teacher. He was no longer the nervous professor just now. The students were naturally much more enthusiastic. Suddenly,

Then he raised three or four hands;

Jiang Yuan glanced at it, then smiled and said: "Okay, the male student wearing glasses in the fourth row..."

Seeing Jiang Yuan's attention to him, the male classmate showed a careful and respectful expression on his face and said: "Teacher Jiang...just now the professor said that there is a relationship between the five elements that multiply and insult each other, so what is the relationship between mutual growth and mutual restraint?

What's the difference?"

Jiang Yuan smiled slightly, nodded, and then said: "This is a good question...it has a lot to do with mutual advantage and mutual restraint, but it has nothing to do with mutual growth..."

"Because multiplication means that a certain "element" of the five elements restrains the "element" being restrained too much, thus causing a series of over-restraint reactions."

"And mutual insult means that because a certain "element" of the five elements is too strong, it counterattacks the "one element" that originally "restrained me", so retaliation is also called anti-restraint. For example: Wood is originally restrained by metal, but in wood it is particularly

When it is strong, not only is it not restrained by metal, but it counterattacks (i.e., opposes and restrains) metal, which is called 'wood insulting metal'."

Jiang Yuan's general explanation not only caused the male student who asked the question to nod repeatedly, but also other students couldn't help but nod their heads to show that they understood. After all, what Professor Hu just explained was not so clear...

Seeing all the students nodding, Jiang Yuan smiled with satisfaction, and then said: "Okay, the female student in the sixth row who raised her hand just now... do you have any questions?"

The female classmate's face turned red, she glanced at Jiang Yuan shyly, and then said softly: "Teacher Jiang... I don't quite understand what the professor just said about Mu Yu Tu Xu!"

"Oh...Okay, let me explain it to you..." Jiang Yuan said with a faint smile.
