Research o n the
Temperament by the Eight
Trigrams o f Bo o k o f Changes
The d iv isio n o f temperament in Bo o k o f Changes is o ne o f the
o ld est and mo st scientific d iv id ing metho d s o n which the tempera-
ment types; o f the Empero r's Cano n o f M ed icine hav e d ev elo ped . I t
is no t o nly a mo d el o f the unity o f mind and bo d y, but also an exam-
ple-o f the co mbinatio n o f Yin and Yang and the fiv e elements .
Sectio n 1 The Div isio n o f
Temperaments and I ts Significance
The co ncepts o f the Eight Trigrams in Bo o k o f Changes includ e
eight d ifferent so rts o f things . Qian d eno tes heav en and giv es the
id ea o f strength ; Kun, earth and d o cility ; Zhen, thund er and firm-
ness ; Xun, wind and o bed ience ; Kan, water and so ftness ; L i, fire
and fierceness ; Gen, mo untains and genero sity ; and Dui, swamp
and tend erness .
Altho ugh they are called the Eight Trigrams, actually they
stand fo r fiv e d ifferent things with respect to their nature : metal,
wo o d , water, fire and earth . Co ncretely speaking . L i suggests the

the Eight Trigrams o f Bo o k o f Changes

127
ad ea o f fire, this is because L i represents the sun, which has the
same pro perty as fire ; Kan represents water, Dui represents swamp,
mence Kan and Dui bo th belo ng to the nature o f water ; Zhen stand s
. x thund er, Xun stand s fo r wind , they bo th embo d y the nature o f
Kun represents earth, Gen represents mo untain, so bo th o f
hem acquire the pro perties o f earth ; Qian d eno tes heav en, it em-
bo d ies the nature o f metal fro m the sky . To sum up, peo ple o f the
t4ht Trigrams thus can be attributed to the fo llo wing fiv e types :
I . P eo ple o f L i and its clinical significance
1) Temperament
L i suggests the sun, which is fire co ming fro m heav en . Trea-
o f Remarks o n the Trigrams o f Yi says, "L i suggests the em-
o f fire ; o f the sun . " The Great Symbo lism in the L i Trigram
I Yi also says, "L i means being attached to ; the sun and the mo o n
rake their respectiv e places in the sky . " L i implies the sun, Kan im-
the mo o n, the characters o f L i and Kan thus beco me apparent .
Great Symbo lism in the L i Trigram o f Yi says, "The great
~n, in acco rd ance with this, cultiv ates mo re and mo re his brilliant
, ,H ue and d iffuses its brightness o v er the fo ur quarters o f the land . "
*,th a rud d y co mplexio n and a stro ng build , peo ple o f L i are o ut
enthusiastic, easily excited and talented . They walk fast
. sue-t think quickly . They hav e accurate and sharp eyesight . They are
scsn inv ento rs . Treatise o f Remarks o n the Trigrams o f Yi says,
suggests the emblem o f the eyes . " P eo ple o f L i can end ure co ld
hate ho t weather, like a burning to rch in winter . They are o v er
co nfid ent, pro ud , aggressiv e and ambitio us .
2) Figure
They are ro bust, and hav e a small head , a rud d y co mplexio n, a
nd stro ng pulse . Their eyes are no t big, but shine like stars
3 ) P o ssible I llness
P eo ple o f L i hav e the nature o f fire . Since fire is related with
the heart,' which is in charge o f the pulse, they can easily suffer
fro m heart d iseases, such as co ro nary heart d isease and arterio ed era-
sis . Again, since fire may cause d amage' to Qi and blo o d , this so rt o f
peo ple tend to be caught by apo plexy o r cerebral hemo rrhaging .
P eo ple o f fire usually hav e surplus Yang, which pro d uces heat
These peo ple, as a result, may easily get heart-synd ro mes and
sthemia-synd ro mes . Because o f the impairment o f Yin fluid , there is
a po tential d anger fo r them to hav e surplus Yang and d eficient Yin .
As fo r mental illness, there is a po ssibility o f suffering fro m mania .
4) L ife Expectancy
The Yang in peo ple o f L i is o v erabund ant, thus inj ures the Yin
fluid . So these peo ple canno t liv e lo ng liv es, they may d ie o f a sud -
d en illness . As it is said in The Small Symbo lism in the L i Trigram
o f Yi, "To say the manner o f its subj ect's co ming, ho w abrupt it
is, as with fire, with d eath, to be rej ected by all . "
I I ' . 'P eo ple o f Kan and its Clinical Significance
1) Temperament
Kan ind icates water fro m heav en, with the character o f so ft-
ness . Treatise o f Remarks o n the Trigrams o f Yi says, . "Kan sug-
gests the id ea o f water, . Kan, is precipitio us and perilo us . " I n
o ther wo rd s, Kan d eno tes water, water go es d o wn, so peo ple o f
Kan are extremely intro v ersiv e . Zhuan in Kan Trigram o f Yi
says, "repeated Kan sho ws us o ne d efile succeed ing ano ther . " I t is
also d escribed in The Great Symbo lism, "the first line, d iv id ed ,
sho ws its subj ect in the d o uble d efile, and yet entering a cav ern with
it . " These peo ple are calm, and their d eep tho ughts are hard to d e-
tect . They
are qualified co nsultants with reso urces and astuteness .

They are greatly affected by the nature o f water . Since things can be
easily hid d en in water, these peo ple are quiet and calm like still wa-
W. Treatise o f Remarks, o n the Trigrams o f Yi says, "Kan, sug-
tests the id ea o f the ears . " This means peo ple o f Kan hav e excellent
ears. They can pred ict things by listening to the so und o f wind . As
fo r character, they are d epressed , co ld , mysterio us, and ev en d an-
gero us . " The Great Symbo lism says, "I t flo ws o n, witho ut aecu-
. elating its v o lume, it pursues its way thro ugh a d angero us d efile,
sho ut lo sing its true nature . That the mind is penetrating is ind i-
sed by the stro ng line in the center, the actio n that is in acco r
ce with this will be o f high v alue, which tells us that ad v ance
will be fo llo wed by achiev ement . " P eo ple o f Kan make their liv es
d , like water flo wing, but they are co nfid ent and self-restrained .
la general, in spite o f their hard ships, they will succeed in the end .
The Great Symbo lism also says, "The symbo l o f water flo wing o n
.. . cltinuo usly fo rms the repeated Kan . The superio r man, in acco r-
=: ice with this, co nstantly maintains the v irtue o f his heart and the
u: : egrity o f his co nd uct . They are d escribed as perpetual, mo isten-
the earth like flo wing water, and d ev o ting themselv es quietly to
wo rld .
2) Figure
P eo ple o f Kan hav e d ark skin and a thin figure . They are o f
, . ,I d le height . They hav e a sunken pulse, d eep eyes and big ears .
3 ) P o ssible Diseases
Kan suggests the id ea o f water . Water means co ld ness, which
sts the kid neys . So peo ple o f Kan are pro ne to such kid ney d is-
as ed ema, lumbago , j ue-synd ro me, sterility in females, mo rn-
ng d iarrhea, and so o n ; Co ld ness may cause co ntractio n and o b-
, ructio n, so peo ple o f Kan tend to catch energy-stagnatio n, blo o d

stasis and merid ian-stagnatio n . The water that Kan represents is
co ming fro m heav en . As a result, Yin is surplus in their bo d ies,
while Yang is d eficient . Therefo re, they are likely to catch illnesses
such as the d eficiency o f fire at the life-gate, d eficiency o f the Yang
energy in the kid neys, and melancho lia as far as mental illness is
co ncerned .
4) L ife' Expectancy
These peo ple usually liv e lo ng liv es . I t is because heir Yin en-
ergy is in surplus and there is little d amage to Yang .
P eo ple o f Kun and its Clinical Significance
1) Temperament
Kun suggests the id ea o f earth . I t is mild and d o cile . Treatise
o f Remarks o n the Trigrams o f Yi says, "Kun suggests the id ea o f
the earth, o f a mo ther . " Tuan in-Kun Trigram o f Yi says, "I t's
mild and d o cile, ad v antageo us and firm . " The Great Symbo lism in
Kun Trigram o f Yi says, "the superio r man, in acco rd ance with
this, with his large v irtue suppo rts things . -" Again in Treatise o f
Remarks o n the Trigrams o f Yi, we find , "By Kun, to sto re things
up . " P eo ple o f Kun are shy . I n Zhuan in Kun Trigram o f Yi, we
find , "Kun, in its largeness, suppo rts and co ntains all things . I ts
excellent capacity matches its unlimited po wer . I ts co mprehensio n is
wid e . " P eo ple o f Kun are always mild , d iligent and mo d est . I n ad -
d itio n, since Kun suggests earth, which is mo ist, and mo isture
means stickiness and weight, the Qi and blo o d in these peo ple circu-
lates slo wly in the bo d y . As fo r character, they are firm, and as
stead y as mo untains . They speak and react sluggishly . They lack
sensitiv ity to new things . So me are quite satisfied with their present
co nd itio n, and seld o m ask fo r anything .

2) Figure
P eo ple o f Kun hav e a yello wish co mplexio n and a big head ,

3 ) P o ssible Diseases
Kun stand s fo r earth, which is mo ist and belo ngs to Yin . M o is-

arching illnesses o f the spleen, such as d iarrho ea and d ro psy

N. P eo ple o f Qian and its Clinical Significance
1) Temperament
Qian suggests the id ea o f heav en, symbo liz es the metal fro m
: ~:: v en . As fo r character, it ind icates strength, firmness, fitness
,~ j ustice . Treatise o f Remarks o n the Trigrams o f Yi says,
'a; tian suggests the id ea o f heav en, o f j ad e and o f metal, . . . Qian is
symbo l o f strength . " Zhuan in Qian Trigram o f Yi says,
V ast is
the great and o riginating element ind icated by Qian! ' All
o we to it their beginning ; it co ntains all the meanings belo ng-
, to the name, heav en . " Hence peo ple o f Qian are genero us and
They are farsighted , and hav e a stro ng o rganiz ing ability .

Treatise o f Re-

"Qian suggests the id ea o f the head . "
13 2

lo o k o f Changes and Trad itio nal Chinese M ed icine

M o st peo ple o f Qian hav e a bro ad fo rehead , which suggests wisd o m .
They are bro ad -mind ed . They are able to bear as much as the sky .
As fo r character, they co nstantly striv e to impro v e themselv es as it
says in The Great Symbo lism in Qian Trigram o f Yi, "Heav en, in
its mo tio n, giv es the id ea o f strength . The superio r man, in'acco r-
d ance with this, to rns himself to ceaseless activ ity . " While o n the
o ther hand , they are hypo critical, v ain, o v er self-respected , and
ev en self-centered .
2) Figure
This kind o f peo ple usually hav e a bro ad fo rehead , a pale and
square face and a stro ng- bo d y with thick bo nes . They are o f med i-
um-height with stro ng pulses .
3 ) P o ssible I llness
P eo ple o f Qian hav e the nature o f metal, and are o v erabund ant
with Yang, which implies heat and d ryness . Hence, they tend to
catch lung d iseases such as a co ugh, bro nchitis, co nstipatio n, and
d iabetes . Dryness may easily hurt the Yin fluid , so d iseases reflect-
ing a sho rtage o f Yin may also o ccur .
4) L ife Expectancy
P eo ple o f Qian are genero us and mo d est . They can bear as
much as a v alley . I n general, they liv e lo ng liv es . But since excess
Yang may d amage Yin, their life span can be o nly o f med ium
length
V . P eo ple o f Xun and its Clinical Significance
1) Temperament
Xun suggests the id ea o f wind , wind fro m the sky . Treatise o
Remarks o n the Trigrams o f Yi says, "Xun suggests the id ea o f
wo o d , o f wind , wind serv es to scatter the genital seed s o f
things . . " The nature o f wind belo ngs to Yang and co ntro ls mo tio n .

fence peo ple o f this so rt also sho w the character o f Yang . They are
petuo us, nimble and acute . They are go o d at d iplo macy, hav ing

qualities o f a d iplo mat . P eo ple o f Xun co me and go in a hurry
gust o f wind . Wind is apt to change, o nce in a while it be-
fierce, and , then changes into a breez e . J ust like the wind ,
peo ple are changeable to o . So metimes they are stubbo rn like a
rang wind , so metimes d o cile like a so ft wind . Zhuan in Xun Tri-
m o f Yi says, "We see the weak o bed ient to the stro ng . . . . The
ung has penetrated into the central and co rrect place, and the will
subj ect will be carried into effect . " What's mo re, peo ple o f
kind tend to be j ealo us, o v er-sensitiv e, d o ubtful and narro w-
n ed .
2) Figure,
P eo ple o f Xun are usually thin with a d ark co mplexio n . They
either a little bit tall, o r v ery sho rt . They hav e a string-like
3 ) P o ssible I llness
P eo ple o f Xun hav e the characteristics o f wind , wind matches
liv er, so they hav e the po tential tend ency o f catching liv er d is- .
Wind co ntro ls mo v ement, there is a po ssibility o f liv er-wind
riL g insid e the bo d y . High blo o d pressure, apo plexy, and allergy
o ccur frequently . Wind suggests change, acco rd ingly, these
s nerv o us systems seem unstable . As a result, they easily suf-
fro m the unbalance o f the nerv o us system, such as the stagnatio n
v cr energy, hysteria, and neuro sis .
L ife Expectancy
These peo ple are fo nd o f activ ities . Their Yang energy is quick-
.. umed . I n general, they lead sho rt liv es .
P eo ple o f the Eight Trigrams are gro uped into the abo v e fiv e
types
. This means, Gen, Dui and Zhen hav e merged into the fiv e
types . Fo r instance, Gen actually po ssesses the character o f Kun, as
it says in Treatise o f Remarks o n the Trigrams o f Yi, "Gen sug-
gests the emblem o f a mo untain . " M o untain belo ngs to earth, which
is firm and unmo v able . Zhuan in Gen Trigram o f-Yi says, "Gen
d eno tes sto ppage and rest . " Treatise o f Remarks o n the Trigrams
o f Yi
says, "He rej o ices in Gen . " P eo ple with the character o f Gen
are as d o cile and kind as the peo ple o f Kun
; Dui suggests swamp,
which implies mo isture . Zhuan in Dui Trigram o f Yi says, "The
stro ng in the center, the weak o n the o uter ed ge . " Treatise o f Re-
marks o n the Trigrams o f Yi says, "Dui is the symbo l o f . P leasure
and satisfactio n . "
P eo ple o f Dui are j ust like peo ple o f Kan, they are
` intro v erted , belo nging to Yin character ; Zhen suggessts the emblem
o f thund er, Treatise o f Remarks o n the Trigrams o f Yi says,
"then is the symbo l o f a stimulus to mo v ement . " The Small Sym-
bo lism in Zhen Trigram o f Yi
says, "When the mo v ement ap-
pro aches, he is in a po sitio n o f peril : the weak line is mo unted o n a
stro ng lev el
. " P eo ple o f Zhen are activ e, they appear stro ng, but art
actually weak in nature . Zhuan in Zhen Trigram o f Yi says, "The
mo v ement like a crash o f thund er terrifies all within a hund red li
;
startles the d istant and frightens the near . " Also in The Great Sym-
bo lism in Zhen Trigram o f Yi,
it says, "The superio r man, in ac-
co rd ance with this, is fearful and apprehensiv e, cultiv ates his
v irtue, and examines his faults . " Zhen is so mething like Xun .
Therefo re, the temperament o f the peo ple o f the Eight Trigrams
actually gro uped into the abo v e fiv e types .
I n ad d itio n to the bo m elements and so cial elements, tempera-
ment is affected by geo graphical elements to o . Fo r instance,

Altho ugh peo ple o f the Eight Trigrams are d iv id ed into L i,
t Kun, Qian and Xun, mo d ern peo ple who liv e in so ciety are
i-ghly inv o lv ed in many so cial activ ities, so they are also greatly in-
> aenced by so cial elements . Therefo re, peo ple o f typical attributio n
quite few, but frequently seen are tho se with sev eral kind s o f
z haracters mixed to gether . Fo r instance, the type o f pure fire is sel
seen, but the co mbinatio n o f wind with fire, earth with fire, o r
tal with fire appear ev erywhere . So , in j ud ging the temperament
perso n, o ne need s to make a synthetic stud y . The abo v e d e-

2) P eo ple o f similar characters are o n go o d terms
Each o f the Eight Trigrams has its o wn features, peo ple in ac-
co rd ance with this also hav e their respectiv e temperaments . Treatise
o f Remarks o n the Trigram . s o f Yi says, "Thund er serv es to put
things in mo tio n ; wind to scatter their genital seed s ; rain to mo isten
them ; the sun to warm them ; what is symbo liz ed by Gen, to arrest
and keep them in their places ; by Dui, to giv e them j o yful co urse,
by Qian, to rule them ; and by Kun, to sto re them up . " P eo ple u
similar kind are o n go o d terms . Wen Yan in Qian Trigram o f Y' :
says, "creatures o f the same nature seek o ne ano ther, water flo w : ,
to ward s the place that is wet and d amp ; fire rises up to ward s why
is d ry . " The same happens to human beings . P eo ple with simiL i
characters may easily get alo ng and co o perate well . Fo r instance .

peo ple may get alo ng well with each o ther ; Xun (wind ) and L

J ust as it says in Treatise o f Remarks o n the Trigrams o f Yi,
symbo ls o f mo untains and co llectio n o f water interchanged their

tho se fo r water and fire d id each o ther no harm . " This sho ws

Changes is that o f the Eastern Zho u Dynasty .
Fo recasting is a pro fo und and mysterio us science the secrets o f
which canno t yet be rev ealed by mo d ern science and techno lo gy .
The bo und less univ erse is so intricate that the o bj ects hav e tho usand s
o f links . L iv ing things canno t be iso lated fro m physics, and the rela-
tio ns (includ ing reactio ns) between them canno t yet be explained by
human beings . M o d ern science fo recasts by applying physical meth-
o d s and by emplo ying instruments and equipment . I f we co uld co m-
bine liv ing things' po tential reactio ns with science, we wo uld hav e
unexpected fo recasting abilities . While this so und s like a scientific
fantasy, it is realiz able . As a reactio n o f liv ing things and physics,
o f
nature and psycho lo gy, fo recasting analyz es and j ud ges many un-
certgin facto rs, so tho se who fo recast need kno wled ge o f many sub-
j ects .
At all times and in all co untries, fo recasting d ev elo ps fairly
slo wly, because it is o ften mixed with superstitio n . I n o ur research
into fo recasting, we sho uld neither make it a mystery no r d egenerate
it into fatalism, but sho uld co mbine it with mo d ern science and turn
it into a d riv ing fo rce to impro v e pro d uctio n . This is the o rientatio r ,
o f fo recasting .
I n o ther co untries, effo rts are being mad e to pro be fo recasting .
Acco rd ing to The O ld Testament, the pro phet M o ses was the firs
to find the so urce o f water thro ugh fo recasting . German miners used
fo recasting in pro specting mines, the Frenchman Ama fo recasted uu~
d etectiv e wo rk, and American so ld iers in the battlefield s o f V ietnar
fo recasted to find land mines . That is to say, many stand ard wa
failed , while fo recasting gained unexpected results . I t might lice
liv ing things and physics thro ugh the sub-co nscio usness, and th
fo re make psycho lo gy react to nature . Fo recasting is unfatho mable
(I f we can d iscard the mysterio us co lo r and select its scientific co n-
no tatio ns, it will o ffer bo und less pro spects . ) No wo nd er a scho lar at
the Finnish Acad emy o f Science and Techno lo gy said , "The achiev e-
ments in fo recasting o f Bo o k o f Changes will sho ck the wo rld . "
Fo recasting is the science to fo retell future things, to infer and
e their d ev elo ping tend encies and final results . I t includ es sho rt-
mid d le-term and lo ng-term fo recasting . As to fo recasting
atho ss, there are external, cause-and -effect, and perceiv ing meth-
The external metho d is to fo retell d ev elo ping tend encies
,. ~,x,rd ing to external signs . Tho se signs will surely be co nfirmed
,,'r uugh the o bj ects . This metho d includ es o men fo recasting and
gy fo recasting . The fo rmer is to fo retell co ncealed signs fro m
signs, and the latter is to fo retell analo go us results fro m
o us signs . The cause-and -effect metho d is to fo recast acco rd -
to the relatio nship between cause and effect, o f which the cause-
cifect in time is chief ; that is, to make co mprehensiv e analysis
relatio n between the past, the present and the future . The
mg metho d is to fo recast internal signs fro m external aud io v i-
_gns, as in the physio gno my o f TCM . These three metho d s are
anal metho d s, while Changes is a special o ne . That is, it be-
o pro ced ure fo recasting and reactio n fo recasting . P ro ced ure
: ing is unco ntro lled by human beings . I t co mbines the co m-
; itio nship between heav en, the earth, and man thro ugh cer-
ecasting pro ced ures, simultaneo usly making use o f inference,
~o a. ,: a& o n and prej ud ement . Because the Ci co v ers a wid e range,
ical fo recasting must be emplo yed , to o . The essence o f
metho d s in Changes lies in "inferring images fro m num-
tie fo recasting metho d s in Qi M en Dun J ia (( -2 0T 11 . 4 43 ) )

At present, the Eight Trigrams are used to d iv ine weather co n-

Sectio n 5 Fo recasting with

Fo recasting with the Eight Trigrams is the co mprehensiv e

t. ctio ns . I n ad d itio n, the interactio ns between the o ne who

peo ple had it
. Qigo ng can bring o ut man's unusual faculties, so it is
po ssible that Qigo ng can aro use and rev iv e the fo rmer fo recasting a-
bility o f human beings
. Therefo re, marv elo us fo recasting effects will
be achiev ed if the state o f-Qigo ng can be applied to fo recasting in co -
o peratio n with the time-and -space fo recasting pro cess o f the Eight
Trigrams in Bo o k o f Changes, and if it makes use o f the mental, bi-
o lo gical and physical interactio n between the o ne
who fo recasts and
what is fo recasted
. P ro bably, this will be a new field o f the d ev elo p-
ment o f Qigo ng
. I n the pro cess o f fo recasting, if we make full use
,a
the sixth sense, the fo recasting effects will certainly be impro v ed
.
The metho d - is,
the o ne who fo recasts stand s quietly (o r a,
quietly) facing so uth, ad j usts his breathing, gets rid o f d istracti
tho ughts, clo ses' his eyes, and imagines, and tho ughts highly co ncesi

There are a lo t o f acco unts in ancient China abo ut inferring

that a man with a small head and a lo ng face and bluish

,a4+a'ale, o v er-suspicio us, o v er-anxio us, lacking strength, activ e in

. A man with
tCd face and rud d y co mplexio n is a man o f Fire, who is ener-

will hav e a so d d en d eath . A man with a big head , a ro und face and
yello w d isco lo ratio n o f the co mplexio n is -a man o f Earth, who is
stead y, ho nest, sincere, d iligent and co nscientio us . He always d o es

go o d o fficial, activ e in autumn and winter, inactiv e in spring and

co mplexio n is a man o f Water, who tend s to co nceal rather than re-

The co mplexio n is the o uter reflectio n o f Qi and blo o d (v ital en-

transmitted by the Qi and blo o d in the merid ian system,
rish o utsid e the bo d y, j ust as "The blo o d has its manifestatio n in
o o tnplexio n, the Qi has its manifestatio n in the luster . " I t is
clear that the Qi and blo o d insid e and o utsid e thehuman bo d y
linked , and thro ugh read ing the co mplexio n we can infer the
L io n o f the v ital essence and energy o f the internal o rgans, j ust
t is said in Wang Zhen Zun J ing ((V

Therefo re, the face can reflect the co nd itio n o f the v ital
essence and energy o f the human bo d y .
A d o cto r o f TGM , when practising physio gno my, lays great
stress o n read ing the co mplexio n, which is the reflectio n o f the life-
activ ities o f the o rganism as well as the external symbo l o f the co nd i-
tio n o f the Qi and blo o d o f the internal o rgans . Thro ugh the glo o m,
brightness, rev ealing, and co ncealing o f the co mplexio n, o ne can in-
fer future smo o thness, ad v ersity, go o d luck, and bad luck . The
co mplexio n can pro mptly reflect co ld ness and heat, d eficiency and
excessiv eness o f d iseases as well as the rise and fall, life and d eath o f
the v ital essence and energy. I n clinical practice, a glo o my
co mplexio n suggests that the v ital essence and energy o f the internal
o rgans can no t flo urish o utsid e - the d eficiency o f the internal o r-
gans is reflected externally in the co mplexio n, so fro m the changes
o f the co mplexio n we can o bserv e the changes in the bo d y . Fo r in-
stance, it says in P lain Questio ns : Ci Re ((FJ : *11%0), "Fo r a
patient with heat in the liv er, his left bucca turns red first ; fo r a pa-
tient with heat in the heart, his fo rehead turns red first ; as fo r a pa-
tient with heat in the spleen, his no se turns red first ; a patient with
heat in the lungs will hav e see right bucca turn red first ; a patient
with heat in the kid neys, will see his lo wer cheeks turn red first .
While read ing the co mplexio n, a d o cto r o f TCM lays great stress o r,
read ing the v itality o f the co mplexio n . Co mplexio n with v itality

" The glo o my co lo r tho ro ughly rev ealed is called v isceral ex-

d iv ine, the v isceral exhaustio n co mplexio n o f the liv er is "bluish
the co lo r o f withered grass" ; that o f the spleen is "yello w like
