CORE DEFINITION

Summarized by modern Chinese medicine master Wang Qi. It divides people into: Balanced constitution (Type A users), Qi deficiency, Yang deficiency, Yin deficiency, Phlegm-dampness, Damp-heat, Blood stasis, Qi stagnation, and Special constitution (allergy).

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

Identification of factory settings. Before treating illness, look at the 'underlying color'. For the same cold, people with Yang deficiency need to add Aconite, while those with Damp-heat need to add Gypsum. Treating without distinguishing constitution is like building a house without checking the foundation.

Wang Qi divides people into nine types of constitutions based on innate endowment and acquired nurturing, each with specific susceptibility to diseases and methods of care. The mechanism is the 'baseline of individual differences'—the premise of treating the same disease differently is to identify the constitution, and treatment must match the individual's 'underlying color', otherwise the direction is wrong.

Glass Walls

Distinct from the 'glass ceiling' (vertical promotion barrier), it refers to women or minority groups being isolated in certain functional departments (e.g., HR, administration), making it difficult to move laterally to core business departments (e.g., sales, R&D), thereby lacking the key experience needed for promotion.
