Yin and Yang cannot exist without the other | inter-dependence(CAM p.14) |
Yin corresponds to nutrient substance, and yang to functional activities | inter-dependence(CAM p.14) |
without structure (Yin), the function (Yang )could not perform | inter-dependence(CAM p.14) |
the Yin organs depend on the Yang organs to produce Qi and Blood | inter-dependence(CAM p.14) |
the Yang organs depend on the Yin organs for their nourighment deriving from Blood and Essence | inter-dependence(CAM p.14) |
Yin and Yang are in a constant state of Change for preserving the balance | Mutual-consuming(CAM p.14) |
in sumertime the weather is hot (Yang) and we sweat (Yin)more | Mutual-consuming(CAM p.14) |
when the external temperature is very cold (Yin), the body starts trembling (Yang) | Mutual-consuming(CAM p.14) |
excess of Yin: excess cold (interior/ exterior )in the body consumes the Yang, especially SP Yang (full cold) | Mutual-consuming(CAM p.14) |
excess of Yang: excess heat (extyerior/ interior) consumes the body fluids and leads to dryness (full heat) | Mutual-consuming(CAM p.14) |
consumption of Yang: the decrease of Yang energy leads to symptoms of a relative excess Yin, such as feeling of cold and chilliness (empty-cold) | Mutual-consuming(CAM p.14) |
consumption of Yin: the decrease of Yin leads to symptoms of a relative excess Yang, such as feeling of heat (empty-heat) | Mutual-consuming(CAM p.14) |
excess cold | Mutual-consuming(CAM p.14) |
excess heat | Mutual-consuming(CAM p.14) |
deficient cold | Mutual-consuming(CAM p.14) |
deficient heat | Mutual-consuming(CAM p.14) |
Yang defiicency | Mutual-consuming(CAM p.14) |
Yin deficiency | Mutual-consuming (CAM p.14) |
Yin and Yang can change into one another | inter-transformation (CAM p.15) |
day turns into night | inter-transformation (CAM p.15) |
excessive work (Yang) without rest induces extreme deficiency (Yin) of the body's energies | inter-transformation (CAM p.15) |
excessive jogging (Yang) induces a very slow (Yin)pulse | inter-transformation (CAM p.15) |
excessive consumption of alcohol creates a pleasant euphoria (Yang)which is quickly followed by a hang-over (Yin) | inter-transformation (CAM p.15) |
exterior cold (Yin)can invade the body and , after a time, it can easiily change into heat (Yang) | inter-transformation (CAM p.15) |
excess heat (Yang)can damage the body fluids, and lead to deficiency of fluids (Yin) | inter-transformation (CAM p.15) |
deficiency of slpeen-Yang (Yin)can lead to excess of dampness (Yang) | inter-transformation (CAM p.15) |
Quantitative change .....balance and homeostasis | mutual-consuming |
Qualitative change.......8 rpinciple change | inter-transformation (CAM p.15) |
Yin and Yan aspect can be further divided into Yin Yang | infinite divisibility (CAM p.15) |
temperature can divided into cold (Yin)and hot (Yang), but cold can divide futher into icy cold(Yin) and moderately cold (Yang) | infinite divisibility (CAM p.15) |
in the body, the front of the trunk is Yin compared with the bakc, but the front can be devided further so that the abdomen is Yin in relation to the chest | infinite divisibility (CAM p.15) |
