CORE DEFINITION

The clear and light yang qi should be distributed to the limbs, keeping the hands and feet warm and agile. If the clear yang fails to ascend, the limbs become cold and heavy.

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

Hydraulic transmission. The hands and feet are hydraulic arms. When yang qi (pressure) is sufficient, the arms can be lifted. If the limbs feel like lead (the opposite of 'filling the limbs'), it indicates that the hydraulic pump (spleen/stomach or yang qi) lacks pressure and cannot transmit to the extremities.

Anchor fast decisions

According to the 'Suwen', 'Clear yang fills the limbs, turbid yin returns to the six fu organs': the clear and light yang qi and essential substances are distributed to nourish the limbs and skin, making them warm and strong; this reflects the physiological function of yang qi spreading outward and upward.

MINIMUM ACTION

In progress 0/3

Practice this model in one real situation:

Differentiate that the warmth and nourishment of the limbs depend on the distribution of clear yang
if spleen deficiency leads to failure of clear yang to ascend, the limbs become fatigued
treat by ascending the clear and strengthening the spleen, warming and unblocking yang qi.
