Registered acupuncturist and Chinese Medicine practitioner

Graduated from the Department of Clinical Medicine, Shenyang Medical College Vice President of Queensland branch, CMASA

Main Content: “Clinical Eye Diagnosis of Traditional Chinese Medicine”

The earliest documented incisive discussion of CM diagnosis through eye inspection can be found in “The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine” as recorded in the chapter of “Dahu Lun -Ling Shu”: The eyes are the envoys of the heart.” According to Chinese medicine

theory, the most important step to assess the “spirit /Shen”, is to look at patients’ eyes. Chinese medicine believes that each specific part of the eye has a close relationship with different organs systems of the human body, which is of great value for the diagnosis of various diseases. Dr. Feiliu Sun will elaborate on the irreplaceable importance of this special eye diagnosis method in clinical setting based on his own unique clinical experience over many years of clinical practice.

A Trip for Going Back to its Tradition and Searching for the Roots – Neijing Study 2022 (Semester 2)

The theory of Five Yun and Six Qi (5Y6Q) theory is an essential part of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). The theory represents a holistic view held by early doctors based on the correspondence between heaven and humankind. It is a doctrine for understanding the laws of nature and climate change, as well as their impact on human diseases. 5Y6Q theory, which is based on the theory of yin and yang and uses symbols such as “heaven” and “earth” as deductive tools, has been passed down from the era of Yellow Emperor’s Canon of Medicine.

If use correctly, TCM doctors can evaluate the correlations between 5Y6Q and climate change, human beings, epidemiological trends, our own health and diseases based on our own Yun Qi, occurrence of diseases, and TCM patterns.

This 2rd quarter of “Neijing-Su Wen” course will just cover this vital part of Neijing theory.
