ABSTRACT

Tiangui,a specific terms in TCM,is a special material that can regulate human reproduction and development. It stems from congenital kidney essence and is nourished by acquired nutrients with the nature of time-limit,rhythmicity and status. Tiangui promotes abundant CHONG meridian with unobstructed REN meridian,participates in the production and regulation of menstruation,and prepares for conception of women. According to the holism of TCM,person is a unified whole,Tiangui's generation and functional role must be completed under the condition of normal five viscera' function,especially the sufficient kidney essence,although the 'to'and 'exhaustion'of Tiangui is directly affected and regulated by congenital kidney essence. Therefore the synergistic effect of the five viscera can not be ignored on Tiangui,although the congenital kidney essence occupies an important position.
