The Energetics of the 12 Lunar Months and the Medically Relevant Symbolism of the So-Called 72 Seasonal Manifestations
Many great Chinese medicine physicians, including Sun Simiao and Zhang Jingyue, emphasized that “one must first understand the scientific precepts laid out in the Yijing before venturing to study medicine“. For the ancient Chinese, who created the theoretical foundations of Chinese Medicine, the Yijing provided an overarching codex of symbols that could be used for both macrocosm (the stars, the seasons) and microcosm (the earth, the body).
Prof. Frühauf will present his research into a yet unexplored aspect of Yijing science, the so-called 72 seasonal manifestations (Wuhou) ant heir relevance for our understanding of the 12 organ systems of Chinese medicine.
