中医阳气之初探

A Preliminary Study of Yang-Qi in Traditional Chinese Medicine

摘要: 气是构成人体的最基本物质，其中具有温煦，兴奋，推动等作用的气即为阳气，它是人体一切生命活动的基础物质，也是人体生命活动的动力来源。水液经过气化作用，生成阳气，阳气在通过肺朝百脉的生理特性输布到全身，从而再次温化阴液，使其气化生成阳气，周而复始，循环往复。阳气与阴液的作用是类似于现代医学的正反馈作用，当阳气越多的时候，阴液气化的作用就越快，当然这是在不考虑阴液不足的情况下提出的。本文从水液代谢，膀胱气化，以及阳气在人体中的作用，等传统中医观点，并结合部分简单的物理学基础，初步探究一下笔者对阳气的理解和看法。

Abstract: Qi is the most basic substance that constitutes the human body. Among them, Yang-qi, which has the functions of warmth, excitement and promotion, is the basic substance of all human life activities and the power source of human life activities. The water is gasified to form Yang-qi, which is transported to the whole body through the physiological characteristics of the lungs facing hundreds of veins, thus warming the Yin liquid again and making it gasify to form Yang-qi, which starts from cycle to cycle. The function of Yang-qi and Yin-liquid is similar to the positive feedback function of modern medicine. The more Yang-qi is, the faster the effect of Yin-liquid gasification is. Of course, this is proposed without considering the deficiency of Yin-liquid. From the viewpoints of traditional Chinese medicine, such as water metabolism, bladder gasification, and the role of Yang-qi in human body, and combining with some simple physical basis, this paper preliminarily explores the author’s understanding and views on Yang-qi.
