根据五运六气学说探讨2020年气候变化及对人体的影响

2020年(庚子年)年岁运为金运太过,为燥金之年;在主运中,初运为木运不及,二运为火运太过,三运为土运不及,四运为金运太过,终运为水运不及;主气:初之气为厥阴风木,二之气为少阴君火,三之气为少阳相火,四之气为太阴湿土,五之气为阳明燥金,终之气为太阳寒水;客气:初之气为太阳寒水,二之气为厥阴风木,三之气为少阴君火,四之气为太阴湿土,五之气为少阳相火,终之气为阳明燥金。肺属金,在此燥金之年,极易出现咳、痰、喘等肺系疾病。五运中金克木,故亦可出现肝脏疾病,应该通过助长火气以抑制燥金,防止肺系疾病的发生,并在饮食上多食五谷以顾脾胃、避虚邪。但由于火气与燥金均为阳性,助长火气太过,会损伤人体阴气、阴液,因此,在助火的同时稍食咸性食物,以抑制火热上炎,或者可以食苦性、酸性食物来收涩火气,以保护人体气血津液。

Discussion About the Climate Change and its Impact on Human Body in the Year of 2020 Based on the Theory of Five Circuits and Six Qi

The year of 2020 belongs to the Boxer Year. Due to its excessive metal circuit,it is regarded as the dry metal year. Among the main circuits,the first one is insufficient wood circuit;the second one is excessive fire circuit;the third one is deficient earth circuit;the fourth one is excessive metal circuit;and the fifth one is insufficient water circuit. Among the main qi,the first one is jueyin wind wood;the second one is shaoyin monarch fire;the third one is shaoyang ministerial fire;the fourth one is taiyin damp earth;the fifth one is yangming dry mental;the last one is taiyang cold water. Among the abnormal qi,the first one is taiyang cold water;the second one is jueyin wind wood;the third one is shaoyin monarch fire;the fourth one is taiyin damp earth;the fifth one is shaoyang ministerial fire;the last one is yangming dry metal. The lung belongs to mental,and in the dry metal year,it is easy for people to catch lung diseases such as cough,phlegm and asthma. Among the Five Circuits,mental restricts wood,which may cause liver diseases,so we should encourage fire to restrain dryness of metal,prevent lung diseases,and eat more grains to protect the spleen and stomach and avoid deficiency pathogens. However,since fire and dry metal are both positive,too much fire will damage yin qi and yin fluid of human body. Therefore,when increasing fire,we should eat some salty food to inhibit the inflammation of fire heat,or eat bitter and acid food to control astringency,so as to protect qi,blood and fluid of human body.
