CORE DEFINITION

Any long-term negative emotion (whether anger, worry, grief, or fear) will ultimately lead to stagnation of qi movement, which over time transforms into "fire" (heat pathogen).

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

Thermodynamic endgame. Stress is heat. Regardless of the cause (heartbreak, unemployment, fright), if it lasts long enough, it will manifest as "excessive internal heat" (insomnia, ulcers, irritability). In treating chronic emotional disorders, clearing heat and purging fire is a routine measure.

Anchor fast decisions

Long-term emotional frustration leads to stagnation of qi movement, which transforms into heat (fire), manifesting as deficiency-fire flaring upward (insomnia, mouth sores, irritability); any emotion that is suppressed for a long time can produce "fire", representing a psychosomatic pathology.

MINIMUM ACTION

In progress 0/5

Practice this model in one real situation:

Identify the source of long-term negative emotions (anger, worry, grief, fear, joy).
Assess whether signs of stagnation transforming into fire have appeared.
First resolve the emotion (treat the root) then clear the fire (treat the symptoms).
Use mutual restriction of emotions or spirit regulation as adjuncts.
Prevent recurrence.
