Features: If viewed from the historical development of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the theory of Yunqi medicine belongs to the peak period of TCM, representing the high, sophisticated, and cutting-edge aspects of this field. — Liu Lihong
After studying under my master for several years, I have gained a solid confidence in traditional culture and medicine from him. I believe this book will offer the same to its readers. — Liu Lihong
My indelible passion for TCM was ignited by my master, Li Yangbo. This passion ultimately helped me truly resolve my faith in the classical theories of TCM and traditional Chinese culture, which is a very fortunate event in my life. — Tang Nong
In the field of TCM and traditional Chinese culture, the philosophical significance and practical value of the He Tu Luo Shu and the five yunliu sixqi model cannot be emphasized too much. — Liu Fang
The theory of Yunqi is the highest level in TCM theory. In the past 2,400 years, besides Zhang Zhongjing of the Eastern Han Dynasty, no one else has made great contributions to this level. — Li Yangbo
This book is divided into two parts. The first part is the main text, consisting of five lectures by Mr. Li Yangbo on Yunqi and Yin-Yang. The second part is the appendix, including a summary of Yunqi, some letters, and clinical insights.
Li Yangbo, styled Bagua, was born in 1947 and passed away in 1991. He was from Pingnan, Guangxi. His father was a well-known TCM practitioner in the area. From a young age, he studied in the city and was an outstanding student at Nanning City’s "Old Third Batch" high school. During the Cultural Revolution, when the opportunity to attend university was lost, he became determined and devoted himself to self-studying TCM day and night, immersing himself in the classics of Qi and Huang, and receiving teachings in healing arts from many extraordinary masters. In 1982, he graduated from Nanning Part-Time TCM College. In his lifetime, he dedicated himself to the systematic study and modern application of medicine, the I Ching, and Taoism, while also extensively exploring traditional classics, histories, philosophies, and collections. From these studies, he creatively extracted important ideas of the cosmic biological and cosmic social perspectives. In 1983, he taught numerous students at "Yi, Yi, Dao, Yin-Yang Art Teaching Hall, Yin Qian Zhai."
