CORE DEFINITION

The Nanjing's precise classification of the sources of pathogenic factors: those coming from the later (the generating cycle) are Deficiency Evil (from the mother), those coming from the former (the generating cycle) are Excess Evil (from the child), those coming from the overcoming cycle are Thief Evil (the one that overcomes me), those coming from the overcome cycle are Minor Evil (the one I overcome), and those arising from the organ itself are Proper Evil.

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

Reduce cognitive load

Analysis of closeness and distance. For liver disease, if it comes from the kidney (mother), it is called 'Deficiency Evil' (difficult to treat, mother affects child); if it comes from the lung (the one that overcomes), it is called 'Thief Evil' (most dangerous, bullying); if it is spontaneous, it is called 'Proper Evil' (mildest, easy to treat). The source determines the severity of the enemy.

The Nanjing classifies five evils according to the route of pathogenic factors: Deficiency Evil (from the one that generates me / mother), Excess Evil (from the one I generate / child), Thief Evil (from the one that overcomes me), Minor Evil (from the one I overcome), and Proper Evil (spontaneous from the organ itself); the route determines the severity and prognosis.
