About This Course

Course Introduction

Sisheng Xinyuan: Heart Source of the Four Sages is taught by Huang Mingqi. Based on Huang Yuanyu's writings, Sisheng Xinyuan, and traditional theories such as the circulation of one qi, the materials combine yin-yang and Five-Phase theory with observation and pattern differentiation to organize classical formulas and other topics.

Study starts with core formulas, then groups material into gynecology, the sensory organs and seven orifices, digestion, and other topics to compare formula approaches within a shared theoretical thread. The materials also cover Bagua tongue assessment and other observational approaches, connecting classical reading, pattern differentiation, and formula discussion. Actual medication use still requires professional assessment.
