Chapter 4 A grasp of Anyu phenomena
Having understood Anyu’s ideological system, it is appropriate to analyze, from another point of view, the miraculous connotation of Anyu prescription.
§ 1 Where the “pathogen” comes from
As considered by Anyu, the “pathogen” (or pathogenic factor) includes the six exogenous pathogens (wind, cold, summer-heat, dampness, dryness and fire), the seven emotions (joy, anger, sorrow, meditation, grief, fear, and shock), the diet, and the overstraining; besides, it also comes from other sources (“garbage” in brief thereafter): |
1. Infectious pathogen. At present, interpersonal social activity occurs more and more frequently, and the chance contacting with various viruses and bacteria and the probability of disease infection increase correspondingly.
2. The disharmony of Qi and blood or disorder of visceral function may also result in the accumulation of pathological product. |

§ 2 How to expel the pathogen
It is the weakness of vital Qi that facilitates the invasion of pathogenic evil. How can the pathogen be expelled out of human body if the vital Qi is not supported as soon as possible? Let’s have a popular metaphor. When a robber rushes into the room, he will take away everything in an unhurried manner if the inhabitants, both the master and servant, are feeble and scared. On the contrary, if the master can face danger fearlessly and deal with the situation calmly, let someone open the door and window, and make an appropriate show of strength, the robber may be threatened and escape out of the house. This is the right way adopted |
| by Anyu to expel the evil: neither fighting with the robber directly, nor keeping the robber in a closed room, such that to avoid being hurted. For those pathological products originated from the disordered function of zang-fu organs, Anyu’s vital Qi-supporting therapy can rectify the disordered body metabolism in parallel with eliminate the pathological product, so as to restore the normal physiological function. |
