Abstract：ZHANG Xichun proposed that"liver initiates qi movements".The core of this theory includes three aspects:original qi sprouts in liver,liver regulates qi movement,and other zang-organs assist qi transfor-mation.Abnormal emotions lead to depression and anger damaging liver which results into insufficient original qi;liver failing to regulate leads to disorder of qi movement;liver qi rebellion leads to weakness of spleen and stomach.Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the dynamic evolution of healthy qi deficiency,disorder of qi movement,and weakness of spleen and stomach is an important disease mechanism for the occurrence and development of malignant tumor.Deficiency of healthy qi leads to decreased ability against pathogenic qi by human body;disorder of qi movement leads to the obstructing distributions of qi,blood and body fluid,the inter-mingled phlegm and blood stasis,and stagnation of toxic pathogen;weak-ness of spleen and stomach results into weakness of the whole body.Therefore,in the treatment,for the disease before onset,tonifying qi,regulating liver and resolving knot should be applied,for the disease after onset,soothing liver,regulating qi and detoxifying should be applied,for the disease after transmission,astringing liver,tonifying qi and consolidating should be applied,so as to provide a new perspective for the prevention and treatment of malignant tumors.
