木、火、土、金、水五行，作為構成物質世界的本源要素，承載著中華文明對宇宙運行規律的深刻認知。
陰陽五行理論通過精微的物類配應法則，將人體臟腑系統昇華為具有多維關聯的生命網路——不僅包含實體器官的解剖概念，更統攝生理功能、能量迴圈及物候變化的動態體系。
這一哲學框架奠定了中醫理論體系的根基：陰陽學說闡釋生命體的動態平衡法則，五行系統則以取象比類之法，將天地萬象歸攝於木火土金水的生克制化模型中。臟腑系統正是通過五行屬性的植入，獲得了與自然節律同頻共振的獨特屬性。
在精妙的配屬關係中，肝木主生髮、心火司炎上、脾土掌運化、肺金司肅降、腎水主封藏。這種天人相應的配屬法則，使中醫診療突破單一臟器局限，在五行生克乘侮的動態關係中把握病機。臨床實踐中，醫家可據此構建多維治療網路，通過補母瀉子、抑強扶弱等法則實現系統平衡。
The five elements of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water, as the fundamental elements that make up the material world, carry the profound understanding of the laws of the universe by Chinese civilization.
The theory of Yin Yang and Five Elements elevates the human visceral system into a multidimensional interconnected life network through the precise principle of object matching. It not only includes anatomical concepts of physical organs, but also encompasses dynamic systems of physiological functions, energy cycles, and phenological changes.
This philosophical framework laid the foundation for the theoretical system of traditional Chinese medicine: the theory of yin and yang explains the dynamic balance law of the living body, while the Five Elements system uses the method of taking images and comparing categories to capture the myriad phenomena of heaven and earth in the model of the growth and restraint of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. The visceral system has acquired a unique attribute of resonance with natural rhythms through the implantation of the Five Elements attribute.
In the exquisite matching relationship, the liver wood is responsible for generating hair, the heart fire is responsible for treating inflammation, the spleen soil is responsible for regulating palm movement, the lung gold is responsible for descending, and the kidney water is responsible for sealing and storing. This principle of correspondence between heaven and man enables traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment to break through the limitations of a single organ and grasp the pathogenesis in the dynamic relationship of the Five Elements' generation, restraint, multiplication, and aggression. In clinical practice, doctors can construct a multidimensional treatment network based on this, achieving systematic balance through principles such as tonifying the mother and diarrhea, suppressing the strong and supporting the weak.
