Publisher's Synopsis
Translation: The Five-Element Theory is an important component of the theoretical system of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Originating from ancient Chinese philosophy, it introduces the five basic material elements of nature-wood, fire, earth, metal, and water-and their interrelationships to explain physiological and pathological phenomena in the human body. In this book, the author presents novel viewpoints on the Five Elements, along with fresh interpretations of their mutual generation and restriction cycles. Furthermore, through experiments with electronic circuits, the author provides additional evidence supporting the scientific validity of Yin-Yang and the Five-Element Theory.
