Abstract：HUANG Yuanyu was a famous traditional Chinese medicine doctor in the early of the Qing dy-nasty. The book Four Saints' Heart Origin by him was the summarization of all his main theories. HUANG attached great importance to the ascending and descending of middle qi. He held that the multiple arthralgia was related closely to liver,spleen and kidney,and the cause was that the damp of the earth could not be transported and spleen qi failed to lift,leading to the sagging of liver and kidney,and finally wood depres-sion and cold water would appear with internal wind ,or the cause could be that external contraction of wind-cold-dampness,leading to the combination of internal and external evil qi,and finally the evil qi would attack knees and ankles along the three yin channels. The ascending and descending of stomach in the middle-jiao plays a key role in maintain the qi's ascending,descending,exiting and entering,and therefore this though could be used to guide the acupuncture treatment for multiple arthralgia.
