In The Beginning<o:p></o:p>
When our ancestors did not have technical knowledge to observe and understand the human body, they relied on empirical observations of external manifestation to infer the functions of organs within. They were apt to grasp nature, or, the Intention* and the manifestation of diseases, and they perfected observation of the exterior and insight to the interior. They emphasized the human body as a whole to the relationship with the natural phenomena they experienced; such as day and night, light and dark, hot and cold, and four seasons. By regarding the human body as a small universe* (therefore, part of the Universe), astronomy and Ba Gua (八卦) were further refined to incorporate physics and mathematics. By applying and establishing laws, they strived to attain the fundamental truth that transcended time* (The Tai Qi = The Oneness). To this day, the fundamentals of Oriental Medicine have not changed over millenniums.
*Intention: Yi (意)
Small Universe: we are made of atoms that are constantly vibrating (the energy).<o:p></o:p>
