气的失常与阴阳失调,都属病机中第一层次的基本病机,而按“气分阴阳”理论,阴阳失调可与气的失常中的气量失常统合于同一个平面之上,而气机速度失常则是垂直于该平面的第三条轴,由此构成了一个三维的立体病机展示模式。根据气所处位置不同,又可将气分为五脏之气,每一脏的气的失常及阴阳失调病机都可以此三维模式较好地展示出来。
Both qi dysfunction and yin & yang imbalance belong to basic pathogenesis of the first-level pathogenesis. According to "Yin & Yang of Qi" theory, yin & yang imbalance can be integrated to the same plane with volume dysfunction of the qi dysfunction, while speed dysfunction of qi mechanism is the third axis vertical to the plane, thus composing a three-dimensional pathogenesis display mode. According to different positions, qi can also be divided into qi of five zang-organs, and any pathogenesis of dysfunction and yin & yang imbalance of qi in each zang-organ can well displayed in such three-dimensional mode.
