摘要

Theory of eight palaces (八宫) or eight veins (八脉) is useful in understanding the basic sick subsystems that may be to fall ills as the root-cause. By using mathematical reasoning based on Yin Yang Wu Xing Theory in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), this paper demonstrates the treatment principle: “Even if all changed, it is hard to change one’s nature” (> style="font-family:宋体;">江山易改>> style="font-family:;" "="">, >> style="font-family:宋体;">本性难移>> style="font-family:;" "="">). The eight palaces or eight veins can be used to diagnose basic sick subsystems that may be to fall ills as the >root-cause.

Both second and third are for a healthy human body. Both the >root-cause and symptoms come from the first transfer law of human body energies.
