title: [The meridian flowing and ancient Chinese philosophy].
abstract: The theories of Yin - Yang and Five - Evolutive phase were extensively applied after pre - Qin and both Han dynasties. In the Song - Ming dynasties, the background of New Confucianism, the achievements of art of Yi(Changes) advocated by the "School of Configuration - Arithmatic" were applied, in which the method of "Adopting of Jia" was almost entirely derived from the above school, mixing the theories of heavenly stems - earthly branches, Five - evolutive phases and Yin - Yang as a whole. An ancient system of Chronological treatment was thus established creatively by integrating clinical experience together. The system is a tight system of grafting medicine and philosophy formed on the basis of successfully utilizing the philosophical framework, thinking proposed by ancient physicians with keen observation and deep ponderation. The system is, by then, an advanced one, which is also an inevitable one.
