解读“暴怒伤阴,暴喜伤阳”

Interpretation on 'sudden rage impairing yin, overwhelming joy impairing yang'

"暴怒伤阴,暴喜伤阳"中"暴"可作"大"解;喜怒并无阴阳属性之分,怒非属阴,喜非属阳;阴非为血,当指肝阴;阳非为气,当指心阳。五脏的精气差异使得精气在应答外界刺激的过程中产生不同情志,肝在志为怒,心在志为喜;肝、心二脏皆以阳气为用,暴怒则肝阳亢奋,亢逆于上而伤肝阴,暴喜则心阳涣散而伤心阳。临床肝阴虚症状的出现需要一个过程,大怒、久怒后方会出现;过喜导致心阳涣散则因程度的不同而有不同的临床表现。

The ＇Sudden＇ of ＇Sudden rage damages yin, Sudden over-joy damages yang＇ can be considered as ＇big＇. It is impossible to define the yin and yang attributes of joy and anger. Rage does not belong to yin, nor does joy belong to yang. Yin does not refer to the blood, but refers to the liver-yin. Yang does not refer to the qi, but refers to the heart-yang. The essence of qi in the five zang organs causes different emotions in the process of responding to external stimuli. The liver corresponds to anger in emotions. The heart corresponds to joy in emotions. The function of liver and heart is driven mainly by yang qi, in the case of Sudden rage, the liver is hyperactive, liver-yang hyperactivity will damage the liver-yin. Sudden over-joy will distract heart-yang so that damage the heart-yang. The appearance of clinical symptoms of liver-yin deficiency requires a process, and it will appear after anger and long anger. Over-joy leads to heart-yang laxity, which has different clinical manifestations due to different degrees.
