Arrival of Guest and Host Qi
Version 1.0.0 · Updated 2026-07-31
CORE DEFINITION
The annually rotating guest qi (the climate of the current year) is superimposed on the fixed host qi (the seasonal climate). For example, "damp-heat (guest)" is superimposed on "cold-water (host/winter)".
SCAFFOLDING EFFECT
Reduce cognitive load
Climate superposition state. To analyze a disease condition, one must consider two layers of weather. Winter should be cold (host), but this year a heat current (guest) arrives, resulting in a "warm winter" prone to epidemics. This is the meteorological superposition algorithm of traditional Chinese medicine.
Anchor fast decisions
The host qi is the fixed seasonal climate (e.g., winter cold), and the guest qi is the annually rotating climate of the current year (e.g., damp-heat). The two superimpose to form the actual climate state. Analysis requires considering the two layers: abnormal guest qi superimposed on normal host qi can alter the disease spectrum (e.g., warm winters are prone to epidemics).
