Abstract：In traditional Chinese medicine,the divinatory trigrams(Gua)are used to represent the coordination of heart and kidney,but they can not provide direct guidance for clinical treatment.In the Weiji hexagram,the fire is on the water,the LI and Khan are not in position,but here is a corresponding relationship between yin and yang,and the two organs of the heart and kidney accord with LI and Khan in the attribute and structure of yin and yang.Therefore,the Weiji hexagram can also be used as a model for coordination between the heart and kidney,but it still needs the help of other viscera to complete the physiological activities of intersection of yin and yang.Spleen and stomach,as the hub of yin and yang ascending and descending,play an important role in it.If the balance between yin and yang of the Weiji hexagram is broken,it will lead to the deficiency fire rushing up.It should be treated by activating qi to suppress fire.Modified Sancai Fengsui Pill(三才封髓丹)is pre-scribed for those with yin deficiency and excubant fire,and modified Qianyang Fengsui Pill(潜阳封髓丹)is prescribed for those with deficiency and floating yang,meanwhile,Heidihuang Pill(黑地黄丸)should be given to strengthen the spleen and dry the dampness,which plays the pivotal role of the spleen and stomach.
