"君相二火"理论探析OA

The"Two Fires of Jun and Xiang"is the collective term for the Jun Fire and the Xiang Fire,which is one of the important theories in traditional Chinese medicine.It first appeared in Su Wen·Tian Yuan Ji Da Lun.In the original text the theory of Five Move-ments and Six Qi was mainly discussed,without providing more description of the Jun Fire and the Xiang Fire.During the Pre-Qin and Han Dynasties,there were no related theoretical explanations.By the Song,Jin,and Yuan periods,however,there were many viewpoints on this,leading the way to theoretical developments,and it reached a peak in the Ming and Qing dynasties,with a situation of competing ideas.Practitioners of different generations each held their own interpretations and didn't fully understand the Jun Fire and the Xiang Fire,creating many difficulties for later scholars.The Xiang Fire is the source of warmth,should be active but moderate;if it moves reck-lessly,all Five Zang would suffer.The Jun Fire governs the mind and spirit,should remain clear and inactive;if it becomes unclear,the Five Zang are unsettled.When the Jun Fire and the Xiang Fire are in balance,Water and Fire are harmonized,and each should be in its proper position.Reckless movement of the Xiang Fire is a common pathological mechanism,and since Water and Fire should interact with each other,clinical medication should consider both the Heart and Kidney,connecting them so that the Jun Fire and the Xiang Fires or the Water and Fire are properly balanced.
