On Chinese constitutional theory from three aspects

The constitution is an important manifestation of the human life.Hippocrates,an ancient Greek physician,and Huangdi Neijing in the Qin and Han Dynasty of ancient China had paid attention to the study of the human constitution,but the TCM constitutional study has not formed a special academic system for more than 2000 years.Here three key scientific problems are raised on the base of researches and practices for many years including "theory on constitution being separable","theory on relationship between constitution and disease" and "theory on constitution being recuperable",and they form a general framework of constitutional studies.In human life process there are individual differences among people groups influenced by many factors,including time,space,inheritance,diet structure and psychology,which are the basis of the "theory on constitution being separable".There are internal relationships between different constitutional types and diseases and they affect the types and changes of TCM syndrome manifestations,which are the basis of the "theory on relationship between constitution and disease".To regulate the whole organism of the human body based on the biased status and dynamic changeability of the constitution for health recovering,which is the basis of the "theory on constitution being recuperable".
