Chinese Medicine has always
contributed new ideas to its way of working. When we come to think about the
way of its effect on our inner body organization，we understand how much we
don’t know, and together with the frustration, whom to ask.
中医总是对其运作原理不断涌现出新的观点。当我们思考中医对我们人体内部机体组织所产生的作用时，我们深知有很多难以明白的地方，同时也很沮丧不知去问谁。
One of the major theory in
acupuncture is based on the five elements, saying that the name element is
actually wrong and present concept which is contradicted to the real meaning
of what it stand for. As element we get the idea of something static, heavy,
physical, chemical, material. Speaking about each element as individual we
can say that it is right to say that Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water are the
real component that our Earth is built from.
针灸的主要理论之一是基于五行学说。五行元素的名称其实是不完整的，现有的概念与其代表的真正意思其实也是有矛盾的。说到五行元素，我们得到了一些静态的、沉重的、物理的、化学的、物质的概念。说到每个独立的元素，我们可以说，木、火、土、金、水是构成我们这个地球真正的组成部分，这一论点是正确的。
From here we must look at the
Five Elements as a dynamic, ever flowing, ever changing cycle which give us
the basic Sheng and Ke Cycles as from this point onwards the individual
elements are no longer static, material and heavy manifestation but a stage
of development that the only static concept is the never ending change.
Further it will be true to say that in the cycle each stage transformed to
different form of existence by its process of development as we can see in
nature by the changing of seasons were spring comes out of winter, summer
comes out of spring and so on.
实际上，我们必须着眼于把五行作为一个动态的、不断流动的、不断变化的循环周期，为我们提供基本的相生和相克的理论。基于相生相克原理，五行元素都不再是静态的、物质的和沉重的，而是处于一个发展变化的阶段。唯一的静态概念就是永无止境地变化着。更进一步地说，在循环周期里，通过不断发展变化，每个阶段转换成另一种存在形式，正如同我们在自然界中伴随四季交替，冬去春来、春去夏来不断循环交替的过程。
The understanding of
Zang – Fu in relation to its action:
脏腑活动的阐述和理解：
As we have understood, the
individual function of each organ is vital for the harmonious function of
the body, but the organs’ way of action is more related to the endless cycle
of change as seen in the four seasons and biological clock that represents
more of an energetic cycle than material one. As we go on with this
assumption we have to associate the organs to the seasonal cycle and the
biological clock, by doing that we will understand the inner force of each
organ that actually act to express it.
正如我们所了解的，各个器官的各种功能的正常运行对于保持身体的和谐健康是至关重要的。但器官的运转方式更多的与无尽循环的变化紧密相关。正如我们所见，四季交替和生物钟的变化更代表了一个“能量循环”而并不仅仅是“物质循环”。接下来我们继续加以设想，我们将器官的运行过程与季节的周期性和生物钟联系起来，通过这样做，我们将了解各个器官的内在力量实际上是在展现此“能量循环”。
The energetic action of the Zang
- Fu organs are different than their element correspondences. This
arrangement might look strange, but if we think about it, it makes perfect
logic.
脏腑的能量活动不同于它们的五行元素。这种组合可能看起来很奇怪，但如果我们仔细想想，这其实完全符合逻辑。
The Wood by its powerful
expansion abilities gives the lungs and intestines the possibility to expand
and therefore to disperse Chi and Fluids from the Lungs and to make the
peristaltic action of the Colon that is so important for our cleansings.
木借助其强大的舒展能力使肺和肠也可能得到舒展，从而，散发肺气和肺之津液，帮助肠的蠕动，这对净化我们身体是非常重要的。
The fire is in direct connection
to the Heart and to the Spirit Shen. The Spleen main action as
Transformation and Transportation uses fire energy to do it. Only fire can
do transformation, surely not Earth.
火是直接与心脏和精神相关的，脾主运化，运化功能就是凭借火的能量去实现的，只有火可以帮助完成运化，肯定不是土。
The Earth energy represents
stability, adaptation and filtering which is so important at the change of
each season and for the Liver to store the blood and calm the yang wood; for
the Stomach to balance the whole body energetic system as the centre of the
body; for the Small Intestine as couple of Heart and centre of digestion;
and for the Pericardium as the direct minister of the Heart and the organ
that is responsible for communication between the Heart and the other Zang –
Fu and vice versa.
土代表着稳定、适应和过滤，土在每个季节变化的时候显得尤为重要，比方说对于储存血液并平衡阳木的肝脏、平衡整个身体能量体系而成为躯体中心的胃、与心脏相表里且是消化中心的小肠、堪称心脏大臣的心包膜、沟通心脏及其它脏腑的器官，反之亦然。
The Metal energy is concentrated,
hard and focused. The Kidneys must be full and concentrated and that for
keeping the yin substances in order and by that to keep the bones hard and
the whole body in good strong and centered shape. The Bladder needs the
Metal energy to be very sharp pointed in its way of spreading energy to all
the organs and supporting the five Shens via the Shu points and the Spirit
points.
金的能量是聚集、坚固和收敛。肾脏必须是充实的，从而用以保持属阴的物质井然有序，并继而保持骨头适度的硬度和整个身体的强健及合适的体型。膀胱也需要金的能量，并通过俞穴和相关神志穴用其方式将能量散发到所有的器官。
The Water is penetrating, moving
and open stagnation. It is like the action of the Three Heater that
responsible to balance the three Jiaos and to irrigate the all body. It is
what the gall-bladder does as yang aspect of the wood, as part of Shao Yang
division, as Extra fu by storing Jing to give out in the process of growing
and to be the representative of the original water that come from heaven in
the Stems and Branches (Tian Gan Di Zi) system.
水具有穿透力强、运动的和开郁的特征。它负责平衡三焦和滋润整个身体。这就是属性为阳木的胆囊的所做的工作。胆囊为少阳，也是奇恒之腑之一，能藏精并主生发，它也是在天干地支系统中来自先天的原水的代表。
Now after the realization that
the organs actually act from these powerful energies we can give this method
the name: Zang –Fu Deep Energy.
现在，当我们认识了器官的活动实际上是来自于这些强大的能量后，我们可以给这个原理命名为“脏腑深层能量”。
The practical application of Zang
– Fu Deep Energy
脏腑深层能量的实际应用
1）The first stage of this
realization is change of thinking. From now when we think about the lung we
have to visualize wood energy that make the lung function properly, we have
to think metal energy when we look at the strength of the kidneys, and so
on.
1）实现这种认知的第一阶段就是改变想法。从现在开始，当我们考虑器官肺的时候，我们必须先形象化使肺部功能正常运转的木能量；当我们衡量肾脏的功能时，我们必须先思考金的能量，等等。
2）Looking for the expression of
the deep energy at the pulses in pulse diagnosis, like, the Spleen pulse as
the Nei Ching states should be soft like feather in the wind; it is because
its Fire deep energy that makes the chi so light and airy. The kidney pulse
should be like a stone in the river; this is metal energy that makes it hard
and heavy. The lung pulse should be flat and superficial as its wood energy
make it spread out, etc.
2）寻求在脉诊中的深层能量理论的运用，比如，脾脉如《内经》里描述的那样应该是很轻薄的就像在风中飘舞的羽毛，那是因为火的深层能量使气如此的轻柔；肾脉应该像河中的石头，这是因为它的金属能量使它既坚硬又笨重；肺脉应该是平浅的，因为它的木能量使其发散开来，等等。
3) Diagnosis of the person state
of mind and behavior. A person that lost his central stability we will use
Earth Deep Energy; person who looks as he lost his energetic and physical
tonus we will use Metal Deep Energy; person that lost his temperature
balance like hot outside and cold inside we will use Water Deep Energy and
etc.
3）人的心态和行为状态的诊断。一个连身体的基本平衡都无法控制的人，我们可以用土的深层能量理论来解释；一个无精打采且身体痉挛的人，我们可以用金的深层能量理论来解释；一个体温失衡且内冷外热的人，我们可以用水的深层能量理论来解释，等等。
Major Deep Energy Points
In general all points of each
meridian have and introduce the deep energy. All Lung points are Wood Deep
Energy points. All Liver points are Earth Deep Energy points, etc.
主要深层能量穴位
总而言之，每个经络的所有穴位都有并呈现出了深层能量的理论。所有在肺经上的穴位都是木深层能量的穴位，所有在肝经上的穴位都是土的深层能量的穴位，等等。
Conclusion
Acupuncture is a system that the
practitioner should be able to see at the same time different dimensions of
action and existence. The ability to do so is open us, the practitioners,
full spectrum of physical and metaphysical ideas, it makes the practice
interesting and with vast and endless knowledge to battle with. Last year I
introduced the connection between the I- Ching and Acupuncture, from my
point of view these two systems are the foundation understanding of
Acupuncture.
结论：
针灸是一个系统，医生应该能够同时注意到其人体活动不同的运动规模和存在方式。对于所有的中医工作者来说，都有可能掌握这些知识，它使实践变得更有趣，从而创造更宽阔和无尽的知识让我们这些有着唯物论及抽象思维论的医生去探究。去年，我介绍了易经和针灸的联系，依我看来,
（加上这个脏腑深层能量理论，）这两个系统是针灸的基础。
