CORE DEFINITION

The 'meteorological big data algorithm' of traditional Chinese medicine. It calculates the annual climate model (movements) and actual meteorological characteristics (qi) based on the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches. For example, 'excessive Wood in the year' predicts prevailing wind, and 'Shaoyang Ministerial Fire controlling the heaven' predicts a hotter first half of the year.

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

Calibrating environmental parameters. When treating illness, one should not only look at the present but also consider the 'yearly context'. If you cannot cure a common cold, it may be because you did not calculate that this year is 'Damp Earth controlling the heaven', so all diseases carry a dampness background. This is the highest-level epidemiological prediction.

Anchor fast decisions

Using the Heavenly Stems to infer the 'Five Movements' (annual climate tendency) and the Earthly Branches to infer the 'Six Qi' (controlling heaven and in earth), it constructs an annual climate-disease model, placing the onset of disease in the context of the 'yearly context'. It is a macro-epidemiological prediction framework.

MINIMUM ACTION

In progress 0/5

Practice this model in one real situation:

Calculate the movements and qi based on the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches of the birth or onset year.
Determine the climate bias of the year (e.g., excessive Wood in the year leads to prevailing wind).
Predict susceptible disease patterns.
Prevent and treat according to the season.
Combine with individual syndrome differentiation.
