A Brief Discussion on “Taiji" in Famous Physicians of Ming Dynasty

The doctrine of “Taiji in the philosophy of traditional Chinese medicine originates from Yizhuan . It was further developed in the Song Dynasty and greatly influenced physicians in the following dynasties like the famous physicians ZHANG Jie bin and ZHAO Xian ke in the Ming Dynasty, who used it to explain medical problems. Zhang Jiebin developed the Taiji Taixu Doctrine and considered Taixu in Canon of Medicine to be Taiji which created the universe. ZHAO Xian ke created the Doctrine of Taiji Gate of Life and believed that Taiji in the human body was the gate of life. These facts show that the doctrine of Taiji is of certain theoretical value because it was not only generally acknowledged and accepted but also used to explain unknown medical problems.
