摘要

在以人體精、氣、神為三寶的氣功學裡，太極陰陽學說是悠遠傳統的中國哲學，也是中醫學建構人體氣機變化之重要理論基礎，更是迥異於西方主流醫學的人體能量醫學理論。「氣」分成「陰、陽」後的相互對立、依存、消長、轉換的特性，使得「氣」在人體的生理與心理系統產生具體而微妙的變化，這種變化不僅是中醫學診斷、病理、治療的依據，也是氣功修學時身心性命變化的的重要機轉之所在。
陰陽理論指導著氣功養生的鍛鍊、氣的運行、偏失與弊病的預防、陰陽失調的勻和、疾病的治療。氣功養生調理以「謹查陰陽所在，調之以平為期」為準則，採行不同的調身、調息、調心的功法為手段，達到採氣、補氣、排氣、洩氣的運氣療法功效；若能搭配飲食寒熱屬性的攝取，就更能達到調整臟腑機能、增强氣化功能、發揮平秘陰陽、調和氣血、疏通經絡、培育真氣的作用，達到養生益智、怯病延年的功效。

It is believed in Qigong that the human's ching (essence), chi, and shen (spirit) are the three important treasure residing in the body. In Qigong, Yin-yang theory is not merely a long-standing Chinese philosophic tradition but also a key theoretical foundation for traditional Chinese medicine to establish its belief in the human body's chi system, which is very different from the mainstream Western medicine's belief in energy medicine. Chi, when classified into yin or yang, possesses features of oppositions, interdependence, balances (as yin and yang consume and support each other), and transformation (as they can transform into one another). Such features of chi result in the subtle yet complete changes in the human body's physical and mental systems, which provide the basis for the diagnosis, pathology, and treatment in traditional Chinese medical care and play a key role in chikung practitioners' learning of the body's physical and spiritual changes.
Yin-yang theory is actually the guidelines for Qigong health maintenance practices, the movement of chi, the prevention against ailment, resumption of the yin-yang balance, and illness treatment. The yin-yang regimen is based on the principle of ”locating yin and yang and seeking for balance.” Different adjusting measures for the body, the breath, and the mind are taken to achieve the purposes of selecting chi, supplementing chi, expelling chi, and draining chi. When coupled with corresponding diets (cold or hot), the treatment will bring perfect result in enhancing organ functioning, improving breath, resuming yin-yang balance, harmonizing the blood and chi circulation, unclogging veins and arteries, and boosting the function of true chi so that one can keep in good physical and mental health and enjoy longevity.
