Abstract
The study of Chinese medicine is the study of the microcosm of the human body. People often laugh when they hear this, calling it an empty cliche. In fact, this quite extraordinary statement is grounded in truth. The original study of the human body as a microcosmic reflection was abandoned because of the way of understanding the universe was lost and, with it, the way of understanding Chinese medicine. Owing to this deficiency, the true method fro researching the body of Chinese medicine changed. The result has been progressive movement further and further from its root. The only remedy for this deviation is to rediscover the true method of researching Chinese medicine. The result of such a method is to immediately grasp the macrocosm. If one grasps the macrocosm, naturally one will also grasp Chinese medicine. This introductory chapter outlines the method for researching the macrocosm as the natural path to understanding Chinese medicine. The reader must not let the meaning of a single character slip by. Entering into the view as a true depiction of reality, one is sure to succeed.
