1. The concept of syndrome and disease: Syndrome refers to the external manifestation of the disease, that is, symptoms. A disease is characterized by specific signs and symptoms. Syndrome: It is a pathological summary of the body at a certain stage in the development of the disease.

2. Same disease with different treatments and different diseases with the same treatment: Same disease with different treatments refers to the same disease, but due to different onset times, regions, and responses of the patient's body, or being in different stages of development, the symptoms manifested are different, and therefore the treatments are different.

Different diseases treated with the same method: Different diseases can be treated with the same method because of the same pathogenesis during their development.

3. Attributes of Yin and Yang: promotion, warmth, and excitement all belong to Yang; cohesion, nourishment, and inhibition all belong to Yin.

4. The relationship between Yin and Yang: opposition and restriction, mutual dependence and mutual use, balance of growth and decline, and mutual transformation.

5. Treatment principles for Yin and Yang Dominance: Yin and Yang dominance refers to excessive Yin or Yang, which is a symptom of excess evil Qi. The approach used in treatment is to "reduce the excess" and to purge the excess. For example: when Yang prevails, it becomes hot—“treat heat with cool”; when Yin prevails, it becomes cold—“treat cold with heat”.

6. Treatment principles for Yin and Yang deficiency: Yin and Yang deficiency refers to the deficiency of Yin or Yang, either Yin deficiency or Yang deficiency. The treatment is to drain the excess and replenish the deficiency. When Yin deficiency cannot control Yang and causes Yang hyperactivity, it is a syndrome of deficiency heat and it is necessary to "strengthen the water element to control Yang", that is, use the method of nourishing Yin and strengthening water to suppress Yang hyperactivity and excessive fire. This treatment principle is also called "treating yin for yang disease".
