What does the highest state of traditional Chinese medicine mean?

As we all know, Huangdi Neijing is a medical work that has great influence on the history of Chinese medicine. It laid a foundation for the diagnosis and treatment of human physiology and pathology in traditional Chinese medicine, so it is also called the ancestor of traditional Chinese medicine. There is a concept of "five movements and six qi" in Huangdi Neijing, which is called the highest realm of Chinese medicine. In fact, "five movements and six qi" refers to a theory that the change of yin and yang and five elements is combined with the change of natural climate.

First of all, five movements and six qi are called the highest realm of traditional Chinese medicine. The five movements and six qi come from the Yellow Emperor's Neijing, which can predict the occurrence of diseases and climate change at the same time, so it is called the highest realm of traditional Chinese medicine. Five movements and six qi is a theory that affects human health and disease changes through the laws of natural climate, also known as luck theory. It is an astronomical phenomenon that the ancients can observe with the naked eye, that is, heavenly stems and earthly branches is used as a means of calculation, combined with Yin and Yang and five elements to determine different time periods, and then it is used to infer the physical and mental state of the human body under certain climatic conditions. Generally speaking, it is a theory that combines the laws of celestial bodies, nature and human life. However, due to the ancient people's limited understanding of the world, the five movements and six gods are a theoretical system based on observable phenomena, which is an objective and subjective system.

Then, five movements and six qi refer to the movement of five elements of qi and the changing law of natural climate. Five Movement refers to the operational changes of the five elements, that is, the operational changes of water, fire and soil in Jin Mu. During the Warring States Period, Zou Yan first put forward the Five Games, and the Six Games refers to the six weather changes of wind, cold, summer, humidity, dryness and fire, which is a natural phenomenon caused by the operation of celestial bodies. Chinese medicine believes that the climate change between heaven and earth will inevitably affect people and the earth, thus causing different physiological reactions. Therefore, understanding the law of change can help us predict the occurrence and change of diseases, so as to achieve the purpose of preventing and treating diseases. Therefore, five movements and six qi are the basis and core of TCM theory. Secondly, the five movements and six gods combine the research results of astronomy, geography, calendar, climate and images. Its application range is very wide, which can not only predict and treat diseases, but also reveal the laws of natural climate change. It is a valuable heritage bearing the profound philosophical and cultural attributes of the Chinese nation.

Finally, five movements and six qi are of great significance in clinical application, but the characteristics of luck change in different years and seasons are different, so the pathogenesis of the disease will be different, so the application of five movements and six qi will also change with the change of luck.
