Zheng Qin'an's Yin-Yang Dialectic, as a program of Yin-Yang Dialectic, has the value of being applied to the world. It provides a reliable and practical way to identify the real from the fake. Its practical significance lies in the fact that for many common chronic diseases, such as prostatitis, diabetes, hypertension, tumors, hemorrhemia, etc., the lesions that are usually certified according to damp heat, heat syndrome, and yin deficiency can often achieve significant results if the essence of yang deficiency and yin is recognized. Mr. Tang Buqi once said: "Decades of clinical experience have proved that as long as the clinical symptoms have solid evidence of yang deficiency, such as the commonly known myocarditis, gastritis, etc., even if the inflammation is considered, as long as the four reverse soup is added to the taste**, satisfactory results can often be achieved." This fully demonstrates the brilliance of Zheng's theory. ”
The core of the theory of the Vulcan sect is to attach importance to yang energy and emphasize the support of yang. In clinical practice, the unauthorized use of aconite is its distinctive feature. Zheng Qin'an's experience and unique style in the use of aconite and dried ginger have the characteristics of wide use, reuse (from tens of grams to hundreds of grams), early use, and special use, which are the most prominent characteristics of the Vulcan School. Many Vulcan physicians have used large doses of ginger to have been critically ill, which further proves the practical value of Vulcan theory.
In addition, Zheng Qin'an's understanding of yin evidence is very sophisticated. In particular, he pointed out that the prevalence of yin and cold will lead to the rise of the void yang and the outward transcendence, which in turn will lead to a false heat syndrome, which he calls the "yin fire" syndrome. This is the most essential part of the Vulcan school's academic thought, and it has important guiding significance for the in-depth understanding of the theory of yin and yang dialectic.
The Vulcan sect has an in-depth understanding of some common false heat syndromes, such as chronic pharyngitis, mouth ulcers, swollen and sore gums, tongue sores, bad breath, headache, red face, red eyes, internal injuries and fever. Their identification methods are reliable and accurate, and their results are remarkable. This is not only dependent on the use of large doses of aconite, but also the ability to identify false heat syndromes. Although most healers have not yet fully recognized this, the modern significance of discovering and advocating Vulcan lies precisely in its identification of false heat syndromes.
Academically, the Vulcan sect is based on the Neijing, emphasizing the importance of the balance of yin and yang. They believe that the changes in the condition are complex, but they are inseparable from the two methods of yin and yang. In clinical practice, they use Zhang Zhongjing's medical theory, and commonly used drugs include aconite, dried ginger, cinnamon, etc., of which the dosage of aconite often reaches 100g or even 300g. They revere aconite as the "long of a hundred medicines", and commonly used prescriptions include Si Reverse Soup, Baitong Soup, Ephedra Aconite Fine Spicy Soup, etc. Although the use of these drugs can sometimes seem overly obsessive, the Vulcan Sect is very impartial in their use of drugs and is not paranoid about a particular drug or method. They believe that the choice of drug should be based on the condition and is not biased.
For the application of aconite, the Vulcan sect has a very mature set of experience. They know how to mix and decoction aconite for the best medicinal effect. For example, Zhu Wei Ju often uses aconite with magnets and jujube kernels;When Wu Peiheng uses a large amount of aconite, he will definitely let the medicine boil for more than 3 hours to ensure that the medicine is mild and does not numb the tongue.
Although some people question whether the Vulcan sect relied too much on prescriptions such as Jiang Xiang and Si Reverse Tang, a deep study of the writings of the representatives of the Vulcan sect shows that although each sect has its own emphasis, it has never deviated from the fundamental principle of dialectical argumentation. Zheng Qin'an strongly advocated the principle of syndrome differentiation and treatment, and criticized those who applied fixed prescriptions in clinical practice. He emphasized that the diagnosis should be carried out according to the specific situation of the patient, and the cold medicine should be used, and the hot medicine should be used. At the same time, he also pointed out that the choice and use of drugs should be based on the condition, and one should not be paranoid about one drug or method.
To sum up, the Vulcan Sect is not blindly abusing drugs such as ginger or being paranoid about a certain method. Instead, they select and use drugs based on accurate syndrome differentiation and according to the patient's specific situation. Their approach and choice of drugs are based on an in-depth understanding of the disease and extensive clinical experience. Therefore, the evaluation and understanding of Vulcan should be based on a comprehensive understanding of its theory and practice, rather than simply criticizing or praising it.
In short, with ginger attached to the real and the virtual, its yin and yang, look at its look, when it is cool, when it is hot, it is hot, why take ginger as the blame?It can be seen that the argument is not biased. In fact, the Vulcan sect is by no means blindly pursuing warmth, and has also accumulated rich experience in the identification and treatment of yang signs such as yin deficiency and fiery heat. Not only good at using ginger and attachment, but also good at using cold medicines such as nitrate, yellow, and gypsum. The use of heat-clearing and laxative agents such as white tiger soup and Chengqi soup is also very proficient. The Vulcan sect is active in the medical forest with its distinctive style of medicine. In the contemporary school of traditional medicine, in addition to the typhoid school, if there are those who are appreciated by doctors and are being carried forward, I personally think it must be the Vulcan school.
Interestingly, Zheng Qin'an never said that he was a Vulcan faction, just as Zhu Danxi did not say that he was a Yin Sect, and Li Dongyuan did not say that he was a spleen and stomach faction. The so-called this faction and that faction were all added by later generations to make tiger skins in order to put gold on their faces. Strictly speaking, Zheng Qin'an follows the four classics. He is a typhoid master and attaches great importance to the doctrine of yin and yang. It was only after he saw that many doctors misused cold medicine, causing patients to have physical problems, that he began to emphasize the importance of Fuyang and syndrome differentiation.
Zheng Qin'an's writing is so good that I privately think that his three books can be counted as the fifth major classics of Chinese medicine. But I still recommend that beginners learn the original text of typhoid fever first, and then read Zheng Qin'an when they have a foundation. TCM syndrome differentiation is much more difficult than medication. Zheng Qin'an is very good at dialectic, and there is no one better than him in his predecessors, so you should read his "The True Biography of Medical Theory" and "The Yuantong of Medical Law". Why is Wu Peiheng so powerful?It is to understand the dialectic, see the patient, he knows the yin and yang, cold and heat, and will not be deceived by illusions, and then use the medicine accurately.
I don't dare to compliment the current Vulcan faction, and there are those who claim to be the warm disease faction, and from time to time they like to move out Li Ke and Ye Tianshi as signboards. Mr. Li Ke also attaches great importance to the balance of yin and yang!Ye Tianshi also pays attention to dialectic!There are many examples of White Tiger Soup Chengqi Soup in Li Keyi's case. It depends on how you use aconite, don't use raw aconite to powder to die. But if the patient is really cold to that extent, and the yang deficiency is to that extent, just use it boldly.
