Review of research on the life-gate theory in traditional Chinese medicine
摘要
Abstract
The original meaning of'life-gate'is'the place where nature generates,transmits,and regulates all the world's matter,energy,and information',and it governs all phenomena in the universe.Corresponding to humans,the life-gate is"the place where life's biochemical informationis generated,transmitted,and controlled",and it governs all aspects of life,which has important theoretical and practical significance.Since the first discussion of the name of life-gate in the Huangdi Neijing,the Nanjing referred to it as the'foundation of life',which is the origin of the study of life-gate theory;In later generations,medical practitioners elevated the life-gate to the height of being the master of the five organs and six viscera,serving as the central regulatory center for life that is higher than the five organs and six viscera.It has many functions such as storing essence and discarding spirit,maintaining vitality,controlling reproductive development,and resisting evil energy.Nowadays,the theory of life-gate has been endowed with new connotations,and its theoretical system is gradually being improved.This paper reviews three major modules,including the essence in keeping integrity and inheritance of life-gate theory(covering five aspects of the original meaning,origin,connotation,location and function of life-gate),the clinical application of integration and innovation of life-gate(covering two aspects of the regulation and treatment of life-gate and the clinical application of life-gate),the research summary and future prospects of life-gate(covering three aspects of deepening theory research,expanding clinical application and setting up special funds),in order to promote keeping integrity and inheritance,integrated innovation,and original development of the life-gate theory.关键词
