DYNAMIC STUDIES OF MAGNETIC SIGNALS OF THE QIGONG STATE
IN A SPACE LABORATORY OF ZERO MAGNETISM

In a. zero magnetic space laboratory, we observed the dynamic changes
of magnetic signals during the entire process of QIGONG of 32 exercises
with 20 people. Of these, we detected magnetic readings on 21 exercises.
The magnetic signals were of three types: 1, direct current signals,
amplitude of 2 to 6 X 103 nanotesla (nT). 2, alternating current signals
with amplitudes of 2 to 2.6 X 103 nT. 3, pulsating signals with an
amplitude of 3 to 1.3 X 105 nT. After completing the QIGONG exercises,
there remained a detectable magnetic signal 81 percent of the time,
indicating that after completing the QIGONG exercise, there continued to
remain a "field" effect. Repetition experiments on 17 occasions with
eight people indicated that it was repeatable on 11. occasions with five
people (65 percent of the time). Looking at the direct current magnetic
field, when releasing external QI, the direct current magnetic field
detected was three to six orders of magnitude greater than that of an
ordinary person. Just what the mechanism is that causes this drastic
increase in human body magnetic signals deserves deep reflection and
further research-
There have been a small number of articles in China reporting
research into the magnetic signals of QIGONG external QI. Some persons
have detected a low frequency magnetic signal of the strength of 1.25 and
1.67 gauss at the location where two QIGONG masters directed their
energies. They have also discovered that the amplitude of the magnetic
signals and the maximum rate of variation was related to the state of
health of the QIGONG master. For the same QIGONG master in a good state
of health, the maximum magnetic signal has a strength of 1.67 gauss, and
the maximum rate of variation was 6.7 gauss per second. On the other
hand, when the state of health was not so good, the maximum strength was
only 0.25 gauss, and the maximum rate of variation was one gauss per
second. Also, there have been people who have measured at the hands and
mouth of a QIGONG master magnetic fields which are from 2 X 104 to 1 X 105
times the strength of that of ordinary peoplej-?. Another person measured
a magnetic field of the strength of four gauss at the palms of a QIGONG

master. However, he pointed out that a marked magnetic field cannot be
detected in QIGONG master'. In some related reports in the past, not only
were there fewer examples of this detection, but the testing was done in
ordinary laboratories without magnetism screening rooms to eliminate
effects of earth magnetism and outside magnetism interference, and which
lacked observation and description of the dynamic process.
Our experiment was conducted in China's only zero gravity space
laboratory, and we conducted dynamic observation of the entire QIGONG
process.
The zero magnetism space laboratory was composed of 26 pieces of
multiple layered alloy (see cover illustration two. Translator's note:
unavailable). The space is around eight cubic meters. The zero magnetism
space laboratory capability indexes are:
1. Residual magnetic field: The screening effect on the earth's
magnetic field is a reduction from 5 X 104nT (1nT - 10-OT) to less than 20
nT.
2. Alternating current screening coefficient: 0.01 to 2Hz low
frequency signals can be reduced to a level 160 to 1400 times lower.
3. Residual magnetism stability: The residual magnetic field at any
point in the space will shift less than 0.3nT within a 24 hour period.
Therefore, we can believe that this has made it possible for us to
observe in detail, under laboratory conditions, dynamic changes in the
weak magnetic signals under conditions of basically avoiding interference
by the earth's magnetic field and various electromagnetic interference.
The 26 subjects of the experiment were divided into two groups. One
group was the normal group (had never practiced QIGONG) which consisted of
six persons with an average age of 46.7 years. The other group was the
( IGONG group (practiced QIGONG for from one to 30 years) which consisted
of 20 persons with an average age of 45.3 years.
Experiment procedure: Before the subject to be tested entered the
zero magnetism space laboratory, he removed all magnetic objects he
carried (such as watch, keys, belt buckle, jewelry, and false teeth).
After he was checked, he put on slippers and prepared to enter the zero
magnetism laboratory.
Before the subject to be tested entered the laboratory, the low level
magnetic signals of the closed zero magnetism space laboratory was
recorded, and then the subject to be tested entered the laboratory, and
hatch (hereafter called door) to the laboratory was closed.

When the experiment sequence began, the subject to be tested first
stood inside the zero magnetism space laboratory near the door for three
minutes, and then stood at the magnetic intensity probe for three minutes,
and then began his QIGONG. During QIGONG, all of the subjects pointed the
palm of their hand at the probe until a maximum reading was obtained. At
the end of the QIGONG, the subject being tested would stand at the probe
for three minutes and then return to the stand at door for three minutes
and then open the door. After the subject being tested left the
laboratory, the door was closed once more, and the low level reading of
the laboratory was recorded. During the process of the experiment, the
dynamic changes of the magnetic signals during the entire process of
before, during, after and after leaving the lab were all recorded by the
recorder.
For recording of the magnetic signals we used the CHO-1 model
millioersted meter for the readings. The millioersted meter frequency
response is direct current up to ten hertz. It can measure from 1nT to
1mT per centimeter and is adjustable. The zero shift is 1nT per hour- We
used a YEW-3065 model three channel signal recorder to record the results.
This has a sensitivity of 1V per centimeter, and a paper speed of two or
six centimeters per minute-
The six ordinary people simulated sending out QIGONG from the palms
of their hands, and in all the experimental sequences, there was never a
magnetic signal greater than 1nT (nanotesla, unit of magnetic flux
density) detected (see illustration two).

In 32 experiments with 20 practitioners of QIGONG, we were able to
detect magnetic signals 21 times, which is 65.7 percent of the time.
During 11 tests, or 34.3 percent of the time, there was no magnetic

signal.
THREE CATEGORIES OF DETECTED SIGNALS
1. High magnetic signal group. This is where the signal intensity
was 11 to 1O5nT. This occurred 13 times, or 40.7 percent of the time.
2. Low magnetic signal group. This is where the signal intensity
was two to 1OnT. This occurred on eight occasions, or 25 percent of the
time.
3. No magnetic signal group. This occurred on 11 occasions, or 34.3
percent of the time.
Based on the category of magnetic signal of the QIGONG released by
the subject, we can divide them into the categories of direct current,
alternating current and pulses. The direct current signal amplitude was
two to 6 X 103nT, and continued for 0.5 to 14 minutes (from the time when
the subject began releasing QI until he stopped). The alternating current
signal amplitude was 2 to 2.6 X 1O3nT, and the frequency was 0.16 to 0.5
cycles per second. The pulse signal amplitude was 3 X 1.3 X l05nT, and
the frequency was from one to two cycles per second (see table one).

PRACTITIONERS' RELEASE OF QI
1. CHARACTERISTICS OF MAGNETIC SIGNAL DURING RELEASE OF QI:
During the process of the release of QI, magnetic signals were
detected 21 times. Of these, on five occasions there were all three types
of signals, on six occasions there were two types of signals, and on ten
occasions one type of signal occurred. The alternating current signals
generally were less than 10nT, and individuals could attain as much as 2.6
X lO3nT. The direct current signals were between two and 20nT, and some
persons could achieve 6 X lOanT. The pulse signal had a very wide range
of intensity, and the absolute values were also large. A small number of
people had signals of less than 100 nT, but the majority were over 10anT.
Of these, some were of the magnitude of 104 to 105 nT (see table two and
illustrations four a, b and c).

As for the question of the intensity of magnetic fields during the
release of external QI, there are reports that under conditions of a
magnetism screened room, when a QIGONG master releases QI, low frequency
magnetic signals of from 0.25 to four gauss have been detected,
approximately equal to 2.5 X 104 to 4 X 1.05nT, with fluctuations of only a
single order of magnitude-'2.
In the zero magnetism space laboratory, magnetic signals of two to
lO5nT were measured, with fluctuations of as much as 105 times. Analysis
of the difference in the measured signal intensity yields two causes. 1,
our laboratory conditions were a zero magnetism space laboratory, and
environmental noise was low, relatively small signals could not be covered
by magnetic noise. 2, The instruments used had different sensitivity.
According to the articles, the instruments they used were a magnetism
detection apparatus composed of a magnetically sensitive diodes and a
voltage amplifier with a magnetic induction sensitivity of 12mV/gauss,
which is 12mV/1.05nT2. However, our CHO-1 model millioersted meter had a
sensitivity of lOmV/nT, about 105 times more sensitive then their
instrument.

During the release of QIGONG, we detected a magnetic signal 21 out of
32 times, or two thirds of the time. One-third of the time, no magnetic
signal was detected. One reason for this may be that the subject being
tested was sending out a signal of a different nature (such as an
electromagnetic wave in a different frequency range), infrared rays, or
acoustical waves).
2_ CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MAGNETIC SIGNALS PRIOR TO RELEASE OF QIGONG
When the subject entered the zero magnetism space laboratory, when
the door was closed and he was standing at the doorway or in front of the
probe before he began to release QIGONG, most of the times no magnetic
signal appeared (standing at the doorway, there was no magnetic signal 86
percent of the time, and standing in front of the probe there was no
signal 76 percent of the time) (see table three). However, there were
three of these 21 occasions (or 14 percent" of the time) when there was a
magnetic signal when the subject was standing at the doorway. On one of
these occasions, there appeared a direct current magnetic signal of 4nT,
on one occasion there was a 2nT signal alternating current magnetic
signal., on another occasion there was an alternating current magnetic
signal of 3nT and a pulse magnetic signal of 13nT. While standing in
front of the probe, on five occasions (or 24 percent of the time) there
was a magnetic signal. On three of these occasions there was a four to
20nT direct current magnetic signal, on one occasion there was a. 18nT
alternating current magnetic signal. On three occasions there was a 30 to
4 X lOanT pulse magnetic signal (se illustrations five a and b)_

Before some of the QIGONG practitioners began releasing QIGONG, we
detected magnetic signals of several to several thousand nT. This was not
the ordinary direct current magnetic field3 of the human body or a muscle
magnetic field4., because both of these are less than 100pT (one pT = 10-
12T), or. 0.1nT, and the instrument we used was not sensitive enough to
detect these- An explanation for the occurrence of these phenomena is
that although the experimenters had not yet notified the subjects to begin
QIGONG, they may have actually already entered a QIGONG state. When we
asked them about this later, they said that this was the case.
3. CHARACTERISTICS OF MAGNETIC SIGNALS AFTER STOPPING QIGONG
After stopping QIGONG, when the practitioners of QIGONG were standing
beside the probe or at the doorway, there were 17 different occasions (or
81 percent of the times) and 1.5 occasions (or 71 percent of the time)
respectively when a magnetic signal was still detected- The intensity of
these signals was similar to or slightly lower than that during the
release of QIGONG_ When the QIGONG practitioner came out of the
laboratory and left, the magnetic field returned to the original low
level.
The magnetic signals detected at the probe were primarily direct
current (12 times) and alternating current (17 percent of the time). The
direct current signals were generally below 4OnT, but on two occasions
they were as high as lOanT_ The alternating current magnetic signals were
below IOOnT, but on occasion it reached lOanT_ On eight occasions there
was a pulse signal, and of these, there were two occasions when the signal
strength reached lOanT_
The magnetic fields at the doorway were primarily alternating current
(13 occasions) and the amplitude was generally below 1-nT, however on
three occasions it reached lO3nT. In addition, there were also detectable
alternating current magnetic signals (five to 103nT) and on three
occasions there were pulse magnetic signals (20 to lOsnT) (See table four
and Illustration 6 a, b, and c).
After stopping QIGONG, about 80 percent of the QIGONG practitioners
still generated a magnetic signal, indicating that at this time although
they had subjectively stopped the QIGONG, but organically, there was still
a period of time when they continued to be in QIGONG state. This type of
magnetic field only returned to the original low level after the subject
being tested left the zero magnetism space laboratory and the door was
closed once more. These experimental results seem to illustrate that
after QIGONG, a "field" effect continues to exist.

III. CONCERNING THE QUESTION OF REPEATABILITY
On the basis of the experiment described above, we observed the
repeatability magnetic signal occurrence during the release of external QI
for the same practitioner of QIGONG at different times. The time
intervals ranged from 50 minutes to 36 days. In the repeatability
experiments using eight persons and 17 experiments, with the exception of
only three people (six occasions, 35 percent of the time) where there was
no repeat, on the other occasions (65 percent of the time) there was
repeat results with a time interval of from 50 minutes to 36 days..,
However, there may have been different degrees of changes in the type and
amplitude. However, when the original magnetic signal emitted was
relatively small and the two repeat times were relatively close (75

minutes to three hours), there were three persons for whom no magnetic
signal could be recorded during the second period of QIGONG. This may be
related in some way to the functional state of the subject at that time
(see table five and illustrations 7 a and b).

Through these experiments, we believe it is worth pointing out that
when the QIGONG practitioners were releasing external Qi, the measured
direct current magnetic field was generally less than 20nT, while certain
individuals were as high as 6 X 103nT. According to reports, the direct
current of the forearm is five to 15pT/ems, which means that direct
current magnetic field measured during the release of external QI is
greater than the original direct current magnetic field by three to six
orders of magnitude. During the release of external Qi, the alternating

 .Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000300040002-9
current and pulse frequencies measured were between 0.16 and two hertz,
all within the low frequency magnetic field category. Their amplitudes
were from two to 1.3 X 105nT, and when the forearm is flexed, the
alternating current is 2OpT4., which means that the alternating current
magnetic field detected during the release of external QI is from two to
seven orders of magnitude stronger than that during the flexing of the
forearm. During the release of external QI, what is the mechanism that
causes human body magnetic signals to increase so drastically? This is a
question which deserves deep thought and further research.

1. In the detection of external Qi magnetic signals on 32 occasions
with 20 persons, on 21 occasions (or 65.7 percent of the time), a magnetic
signal could be detected. The magnetic signals detected could be divided
into three categories: Direct current signals, with amplitudes of two to
6 X 103nT, lasting for from 0.5 to 14 minutes (entire process from
beginning of release of external QI to stopping QIGONG); alternating
current signals, with amplitudes of from two to 2.6 X 103nT and
frequencies of from 0.16 to 0.5 hertz; and pulse signals with amplitudes
of from three to 1.3 to 105nT and at frequencies from one to two hertz.
2. Of the 21 occasions where there were detectable magnetic signals
during QIGONG, there remained detectable signals of from four to lOanT
direct current signals, five to lOanT alternating current signals and
twenty to lOanT signals after stopping QIGONG 61 percent of the time while

standing beside the probe and 71 percent of the time while at the doorway.
This indicates that the "field" effect continues to exist after stopping
QIGONG.
3. Repeat experiments with eight persons on 17 occasions show that
there were successful repeats with five people and on 11 occasions. Those
practitioners of QIGONG who had the stronger magnetic signals had good
repeatability, and most of those with weaker magnetic signals or whose
repeat experiments were after too prolonged a time were unable to produce
a detectable signal.

ACUPUNCTURE POINT MAGNETIC EFFECTS IN QIGONG STATE
BY: Shen Jinchuan and Sun Chulin
China Geology College Somatic Science Institute
There has continued to be a heated debate in scientific circles as to
whether or not there is a field surrounding the human body, whether or not
external QI possesses material properties or produces physical, chemical
or biological effects. Some people do not accept the large number of
facts which have been piling up, but believe that "external QI" is
fabrication, that the human body field does not exist, that treatments by
QIGONG masters are nothing more than the "power of suggestion", and that
ESP is a magic trick. However, a group of diligent and strict scientific
workers support, on the basis of a large number of experiments, the
existence of a magnetic field surrounding the human body which has
multiple components producing multiple effects and which has a material
basis. In a QIGONG state and an ESP state, at certain points on the human
body, especially on the channel acupuncture points, external QI can be
released, and its intensity is much greater than when not in a QIGONG
state. Also, it is control by the consciousness and affected by the
environment. It is a major channel for the exchange of information,
exchange of energy and exchange of matter between the human body and the
outside world. The authors conducted tests of a series of tests on the
physical effects of external QI at acupuncture points on the body of
psychic S. C. L. while she was in an ESP state, obtaining conclusive
evidence demonstrating the material nature of Qi the effects of conscious
control. This article concentrates on the introduction of the magnetic
effect of the field at the acupuncture points on the human body while in a
functional state.
QUANTITATIVE TESTING OF THE MAGNETIC EFFECT OF THE ACUPUNCTURE POINT
FIELDS
Everything in the world is bathed in the earth's magnetic field which
averages 0.5 gauss. As science and technology have developed and as
various electromagnetic equipment has come into widespread use, magnetic
noise interference is becoming more and more serious. In this type of
magnetic "din", magnetic fields of the magnitude of 10-4 to 10-0 appear
extremely weakly. Therefore, for readings to be accurate and reliable,
they should be conducted in a magnetically screened room using highly
sensitive magnetometers or using magnetometers with equipment to
compensate for environmental magnetic fields. We conducted a number of
quantitative magnetic field intensity tests on psychic S. C. L on the
magnetic effect produced at the Laogong point (palm of the hand) while in

 t Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000300040002-9
a QIGONG state. The instruments we used were the CHO-1 millioersted meter
produced by the Beijing Geological Instruments Factory and the CHSM-2 high
sensitivity magnetic flux gate digital magnetometer. The later has a
resolution of one gamma, and during the test the probe was set up
vertically and was kept at a constant distance of one centimeter from the
palm of the hand. The measured intensity of the magnetic field was 400
gamma, which is equal to four millioersted, smaller than that obtained in
previous tests. Through repeated testing, there was no major changes in
the average values. We believe that if the environmental magnetic fields
are not compensated for or if a screen is not used, of if the probe
position, orientation and distance from the source of the magnetism being
tested is not fixed, it may result in huge errors.
THE GEOMETRIC CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MAGNETIC EFFECT OF ACUPUNCTURE
POINTS
Psychic S_ C. L, in a state of QIGONG, can consciously induce the
intensification of the magnetic field at several acupuncture points, which
can attract nails, cause a compass needle to move and can destroy
information on floppy discs and magnetic tapes. In order to determine the
geometric characteristics of the spacial. distribution of the magnetic
fields at the acupuncture points, the authors used a magnetic writing
tablet (produced by the Zhejiang Haiqiu Magnetic Writing Pad Company) as a
tool in our experiments. We obtained a series of cross sectional images
of magnetic fields at acupuncture points (see cover three illustrations A
and C. Translator's note: unavailable). From these, we can see that the
affected range of the acupuncture effect is comparatively stable, as a
circular area having a diameter of between one and 1.8 centimeters, and
averaging 1.5 centimeters. Because clear anatomical delineation of
channel acupuncture points are lacking, the affected area of this physical
effect is of reference value.
What is especially exciting is that the magnetic field cross
sectional forms of the magnetic fields of different acupuncture points had
unique forms, for example, the Mudan (Tianmu, Yintang), Zhongdantian and
Xiadantian all had forms similar to the ancient Chinese symbol of the Yin
and Yang (like an S on its side). The Laogong and Baihui points were
stable circles, and the Yongquan point had a form of two circles one on
top of the other with one small circle on either side, looking like a
small "doll".
The scope, form and intensity of the magnetic field can change
depending on the psychic's physiological and psychological state, state of
health, and method of conscious control as well as environmental factors
(such as time, orientation and electromagnetic noise interference).
METHODS AND CONDITIONS FOR PSYCHIC S. C. L. TO STIMULATE AND INDUCE
ACUPUNCTURE POINT MAGNETIC FIELDS IN NON-PSYCHIC PERSONS

magnetic fields at a series of points on his own body, but he can also,
under certain conditions, stimulate acupuncture magnetic fields in persons
with no psychic abilities which similarly caused the magnetic writing pad
to turn black, displaying a shape corresponding to that of ESP (see cover
illustration three B. Translator's note: not available). Dozens of
people have already been successfully stimulated, both men and women, old
people and young people as well as some foreigners, including Xi Hongzhuo
who is the Director of the Hubei Engineering school, Jiang Guihua who is
the director of the Wuhan Engineering School, the secretary general of the
Hubei Chinese People's Political Consultative Congress, Professors Xie
Huanzhang and Shen Jinchuan and associate professors Cai. Linfen, Zeng
Jincheng, Mo Xuanxue and Wang Jiayang as well as associate researcher
Zhang Xiangping all of the Beijing Science and Engineering College, and
psychology professor Roberts of the Washington State University and his
wife and the well known Taiwan industrialist, Lan Caiwang. The statistics
illustrate that he can stimulate this in more than 50 percent of the
people. However, he is not able to stimulate this in all people at all
times in all environments and at every acupuncture point. This is
determined by a series of conditions concerning the person doing the
stimulation, the person being stimulated and the environment. First of
all, the psychic would observe, sense and detect whether the QI field of
the person to be stimulated could be brought into harmony with the QI
field of psychic and whether or it would accept control information from
S. C. L. The psychic S. C. L. required that the person being stimulated
believe in QIGONG, be in good health with no major ailments, and that he
maintain a natural emotional state during the inducement process, that he
be completely relaxed, both eyes slightly closed and that he concentrate
his thoughts on the point of Dantian. At this time, S. C. L would observe
whether or not the primary channel points such as the Baihui,
Shangdantian, Zhongdantian, Xiadantian and Laogong were open. Some people
had "pathological QI" being emitted from several acupuncture points, and
it was difficult to stimulate magnetic fields under these conditions. In
general, it was induced after five to 15 minutes of quiet relaxation.
When S. C. L. determined that there was a relatively strong external Q1
coming out of the corresponding acupuncture points of the person being
stimulated, the magnetic writing pad would be placed up against the
acupuncture point, and at this time, S. C. L. would perform deep breathing
to raise the QI and increase conscious control of the inducement. After
ten to twenty seconds, there were results. We must point out that the
persons being stimulated were ordinary people with no ESP abilities
whatsoever. Some had practiced QIGONG in the past, but none were able to
cause the writing pad to turn black, and after the experiments were over
and S. C. L was no longer present, they still were unable to do this.
I. This experiment repeatedly determined that there is a material
basis to external QI and that it possesses a series of detectable physical
reactions.

2. There is a human body field with a number of complex reactions
which exists surrounding the human body. When someone is in an ESP state,
this field is most obvious at acupuncture points along the channels.
These are major channels for the exchange of information, exchange of
energy and exchange of material between the open, complex giant system of
the body and the outside world, much like the input and output ports of a
computer. At the same time, because the acupuncture point magnetic fields
are controlled by the brain, it is possible that the nature of channels
and acupuncture points could be studied from the angle of biological
fields.
3. The acupuncture point magnetic fields had relatively stable size
and shape characteristics and intensity. However, they would change
according to the state of health of the body and the outside world
environment. In the future it is possible to develop various new and
simple methods of diagnosis and treatments based on this.
4. The successful stimulation of acupuncture magnetic fields in non-
psychics by a psychic is of major significance in research into the
mechanism of the use of external QI by QIGONG masters and psychics to
diagnose and treat ailments and the methods of exchanging information,
energy and material between the human body and the outside world. Psychic
S. C. L. first of all caused herself to enter a psychic state, and she
would give off certain electromagnetic waves like a radio broadcast
station. At the same time, she would use her own external QI to induce,
stimulate and control the QI fields of the subjects to bring it into
harmony with her own QI field and to accept information sent out by the
stimulator. As for what the various complex characteristics of this type
of external QI radiation are, this will have to wait for more thorough
research.
5. The magnetic reaction of the acupuncture point fields should only
be one of several reactions of the human body field (external QI). An
iron rod with the same intensity as the human body acupuncture point
magnetic fields we discovered and detected in our experiments was unable
to create the same results. There have already been detected static
electricity fields of sizeable intensity and circular electromagnetic
radiation which can expose film We have also noted the spacial and time
relationships between them.
6. As for the relationship between the polarity (N, S), frequency,
shape and intensity of the magnetic fields and the time of the tests,
orientation of the body, biorhythm, type of ESP or QIGONG and
environmental factors., there has already been some testing and research,
but no definite conclusion has been reached.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank Comrades Zhang
Xiangping, Mo Xuanxui, Zeng Jincheng and Hua Xianmei_ for their active
cooperation during the experiments.

STUDY OF THE PHENOMENA OF ENERGY COLLECTION BY THE HUMAN BODY
BY: Wu Qiyao, Tang Xiaoyan and Zhou Ronghua
(Beijing Science and Engineering College)
That ESP can generate a phenomenon of heat has drawn the attention of
people in the science fields in China for some time. Psychic Zhang X X
has on a number of occasions in public used his hand to burn clothes and
hats. Other people with ESP abilities have also done a number of
experiments where they have generated paranormal heat energy. Actually,
the generation of paranormal. heat energy by the human body has
unconsciously occurred for several individuals. The phenomenon
of "spontaneous combustion" of the human body belongs in this category.
Recently there have also been frequent stories concerning this, such as
the newspaper report in 1989 about a pair of sweethearts in a certain
country in Europe who were embracing in the square, caught fire and burned
to death. Also, in "C" city in the Southwest there is a female student
(20 years old) who caught fire on two different occasions. Because it was
discovered in time, she did not suffer any harm. This illustrates that
paranormal heat generation by the human body is a paranormal. biological
phenomenon which objectively exists. The differences between the two
different types of situations described above is that the former is
achieved by conscious thought and the latter occurs unconsciously.
Even though a number of people have seen this with their own eyes, as
of the present time, it still cannot be proven scientifically, and no
quantitative scientific records have been obtained. In order to further
explore this biological phenomenon, we used methods of modern physics to
conduct a number of experiments and obtained some preliminary results.
1. We invited two psychics who shall remain unnamed to consciously
cause a rise in temperature of cold water in a test tube. Then we
measured the temperature and calculated the heat as a scientific analysis
of the heat focussing effect of the human body in a state of ESP.
2. In order to avoid phenomena caused the effect of ESP on a certain
individual sensor, we used a number of different sensors to directly
observe the water temperature and its changes to obtain relatively
accurate scientific evidence of the rise in temperature.
3_ Temperatures greater than 40xC were to be achieved, with two
types of probes and three reading methods giving consistent results. This

 Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000300040002-9
was done for effective accuracy in the experiment to improve the degree to
which the recordings could be believed.
4. We used a millimeter wave radiometer for synchronous observation
of changes in electromagnetic radiation during the rise in temperature in
order to explore the changes in related properties in the human body
during the process of energy focussing and to search for possible inherent
relationships.
5. We observed the phenomenon of rising temperature in other ESP
ability experiments.
I. We used a glass test tube 15 to 20 mm in diameter and 15 mm long.
We put four to five millimeters of cold water into this test tube and
placed a glass alcohol thermometer and a transistor thermometer probe into
the water. We then had the psychic hold the test tube in his hand and try
to heat it. We recorded the experiment using the thermometer, the probe,
and an X-Y recorder, recording the process and results of any rise in
temperature. During this time, we used millimeter wave radiothermometer
to monitor the microwave radiation from the body of the psychic during the
rise in temperature.
2. We placed a transistor thermometer probe into the medicine bottle
used in the experiment, and sealed it with a two layer lid. We then
tested the changes in temperature during an experiment of shaking out the
medicine using ESP_ We also used a millimeter wave radiometer for
synchronous monitoring.
3. We used physical rises in temperature (such as using a match or a
lighter to raise the temperature) and a normal person causing a rise in
temperature as controls to analyze the rise in temperature characteristics
of ESP energy focus.
1. Between the two psychics there were seven successful experiments
following the standards of the experiment design (the temperatures they
achieved were: 72.5, 61.5, 60, 52.5, 52, 51 and 43.5. The highest
temperature attained was 72.50.
2. In the three successful occasions where a millimeter waves
synchronous monitoring was conducted, we discovered that during the rise
in temperature there was a drop in the body's millimeter wave radiation in
all three occasions.

fang Jiang's family and the healthy children in the kindergarten all
had relatively good symmetry between the left and right sides. The
current value was generally below one microamp. There were individual
readings over one microamp (less than two microamps), but none comparable
to Tang Jiang's readings. The mean value of the children was 0.3+0.16,
and none exceeded two microamps.
(2). BIOLOGICAL MAGNETIC FIELD TESTING
Results: Tang Jiang's hands had magnetic fields of 0.00 to 0.1
milligauss (mGS). None of the people in the control group had a reading
(because all normal people have a biological magnetic field of less than
10_6 gauss). This indicates that Tang Jiang's hands generated an
increased current, the intensity of the magnetic field was also markedly
enhanced.
In numerous repeat testing following the tests conducted on 21
April, 1990, Tang Jiang's hands were like those of an ordinary person and
did not show any abnormality.

From the above table we can see that four months following his
spontaneous combustion, an artificially applied magnetic field did not
have any marked effect on the current intensity in Tang Jiang's hands.
]-his also held true for the control group. This indicates that a magnetic
field applied by a magnetic storm (very slight amplitude magnetic field)
might not have been the primary cause for the change in Tang Jiang's
electrical parameters. The biological effects of high energy particle
flow due to sun spot explosions are not only the effects on the earth's
magnetic field, but the effect on the weather and strong ultraviolet ray
radiation effect are also important aspects. This type of model is
actually very difficult to accomplish.

there appeared a large solar flare which lasted for 167 minutes. It could
be the final strongest peak in solar activity in this century. It can
cause damage to the earth's ionosphere, and can cause polar lights,
magnetic storms and strong ultraviolet radiation, having a major effect on
the ecological balance of the earth. The Changsha area and Nanjing are a
certain distance apart, it is worth nothing whether or not it was
basically the same time as Tang Jiang's spontaneous combustion.

?Between July and August of 1990, Tang Jiang's father sent letters
saying he had discovered flashes of light on the floor of the house.
Rubbing them with the finger can cause the tip of the finger to become
singed, and in which one could form lines of light and words. The project
team was then sent to the house to collect samples from the room in the
house that gave off light and from another room that did not (these were
first wiped dry with a cotton swab and then wiped with a wet cotton ball,
and placed into a sealed bottle). The team also took samples of the well
water and city water, and inquired as to what the land had been used for
before the house was built. After the samples were brought back, they
were sent to the Hunan Workers' Health Research Lab to test for yellow
phosphorous. The results of this test were as follows:
1. ]he well water was 0.13 mg/L, the city water was OO3mq/L. The
cotton balls which had wiped the fluorescing -floor areas was 86.0
micrograms and the swabs from the areas which had not fluoresced were B.4
micrograms.
]'he results demonstrate that there was yellow phosphorous on the
floor of the Tang Jiang's house which was greater than the threshold for
fluorescence. The source of the yellow phosphorous could have something
to do with using well water to scrub the floors. The site of the house
was formerly a paddy field, and was then used to grow vegetables. It was
later used to build the house on. It is not on a slope (people in that
area are superstitious about building anything on a slope). The floor of
the house is a poured concrete slab, painted with red 801 and then painted
with 177 paint. It should have little connection with any phosphorous
content of the dirt underneath.
Spontaneous combustion of the human body is a strange phenomenon
which is clinically rarely seen. In foreign countries since 1673 there
have been more than 200 cases related in formal reports. In China there
have been similar individual records`. However, we have seen no research
papers on this phenomenon. This research into a four and half year old
boy in Hunan's Xiangxiang city, Xingxing Village spontaneously catching
fire on four occasions in a single afternoon is a somatic science research
topic into the discovery into the human potential and the mysteries of a
random or_cupance. It is also a topic into protecting children and man.
1"hrough on site investigations and inquiries, clinical observation,
experimental research and forensic analysis, we demonstrated that
spontaneous combustion is an objective fact.

Based on materials presently on hand, it may related to three
possible factors.
1. Within two to three days after Tang Jiang entered the hospital,
he was tested and found to have body surface static electricity
abnormalities, magnetic fields at his hands (0. m6S), current on his body
surface (37 microamps) and voltage (55 microvolts), all of which were
clearly higher than ordinary children and results. However, in later
tests, Tang Jiang's electrical parameters no longer showed any
abnormalities, but were the same as normal people. Therefore, it is
hypothesized that during Tang Jiang's spontaneous combustion his
electrical parameters may have been even higher, and therefore, it is
possible that Tang Jiang's spontaneous combustion was related to his
abnormal static electricity parameters.
Static electricity abnormalities are believed to be one of the major
causes of forest fires. Body surface static electricity abnormalities
indicate a high degree of asymmetry in the distribution of electrical
potential on Tang Jiang's body. The intensity of his biological magnetism
was much higher than that of normal people. This indicated through the
formation of a relatively high current in his hands. Through a skin
temperature test, we also discovered similar phenomena. The skin test
difference reflects asymmetry in the blood supply and heat supply. The
drop in the blood Na-K-ATP enzymes and the Na-CA-ATP enzymes also
indicates that there had been a relatively high energy consumption
process. At the scene his entire body was seen to be covered with
sparkling light, and the odor of electrical sparks was present. This
indicates the nature of electrical discharge ignition. This all indicates
that static electricity abnormalities in Tang Jiang's body was the primary
cause of the fire.
2. Astrological data proves that the spontaneous combustion on Tang
Jiang's body and magnetic solar storms occurred on the same morning.
According to Chinese Academy of Sciences Nanjing Zijinshan Astrological
Observatory reports, on the morning of 15 April, the solar magnetic storm
radio current was 40 times greater than the normal intensity. This sort
of solar storm directly and indirectly affects the physical environment on
the earth and man's activities. Why did Tang Jiang's spontaneous
combustion not occur before or after, but just on the day of the solar
magnetic storms.
This makes us think that Tang Jiang's spontaneous combustion may be
related to these magnetic storms. Articles on the connection between
solar magnetic storms and spontaneous combustions-3?4 and Chinese experts
we visited all believed that sun spot explosion caused radio particle
flows. It has already been demonstrated that they can interfere with the
ionosphere and atmosphere around the earth and affect the earth's magnetic
field (magnetic storms), having a major affect on life. The effect of

 Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000300040002-9
solar winds on the earth is uneven. It is possible that it was stronger
in the area of Tang Jiang's home. The solar winds could have ionized the
atmosphere at Tang Jiang's home, or the atmosphere at Tang Jiang's home
may have become mixed with easily ionized gasses from under the surface
(in November of 1989, combustible gasses coming out from underground
causing repeated fires was discovered in Hunan's Shaodong. This is an
example of gasses coming up our of the earth). In addition, Tang Jiang's
own body had abnormal static electricity. This type of static electricity
and magnetic fields indicates that such abnormalities as a radio flow
could be the result of having undergone solar wind radiation or after
having been subjected to envelopment by strongly ionized gasses, because
(I)i` certain abnormalities on Tang Jiang's body, it caused abnormal
electrical abnormalities. We have duplicated an applied magnetic field
similar to the intensity during a magnetic storm, in an attempt to
simulate this phenomenon. However, we could not duplicate the other
effects of the solar particle flow, and the results of the experiment were
negative. Tang Jiang's electrical parameters did not undergo any abnormal
changes in an artificial magnetic field, which is consistent with the view
above. Was it the solar particle flow and earth's magnetic storm that
caused Tang Jiang's spontaneous combustion? Because of they occurred at
the same time, it cannot be eliminated as a possible major factor.
3. Concerning inspection of combustible materials, because there was
the coincidental appearance of sparkling light in the Tang home, samples
were collected for laboratory testing and it was discovered that on the
floor of Tang Jiang's room lived, in the water or a nearby well and in the
city water to which the house was connected there contained yellow
phosphorous. The yellow phosphorous content was highest on the floor in a
certain area of Tang Jiang's room. The source of this yellow phosphorous
is still not clear. Was it due to scrubbing the floor over a long period
of time using the well water of the city water so that the yellow
phosphorous built up on the floor? This could possibly lead to yellow
phosphorous or its compounds to be on Tang Jiang's body. Whether or not
this was the material basis for localized spontaneous combustion on Tang
Jiang's body will have to await continued observation.,
In summing up all the above, we can believe that Tang Jiang did
experience spontaneous combustion and it was not caused by any
conventional source such as fire crackers, matches or oil. Therefore, we
may conclude that spontaneous combustion does objectively exist. The fact
that we were only able to detect abnormal electrical and magnetic
parameters shortly after Tang Jiang's spontaneous combustion indicates
that the child's abnormalities were temporary biological phenomena.
Furthermore, the explosion of the sun spots could have been the cause for
the inducement of Tang Jiang's reaction. The high yellow sulphur content
of Tang Jiang's bedroom, as well as abnormal yellow sulphur content of the
nearby well, indicates the existence of combustible materials and the
possibility that they had gotten on Tang Jiang's body. From the material
presently available, we can hypothesize that the possible model of this
spontaneous combustion is; The astrophysical phenomenon of fusion induced

 ' Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00792ROO0300040002-9
an abnormal electromagnetic reaction in Tang Jiang's body (no similar
change occurred in his relatives or neighbors). Electromagnetic
abnormalities are often factors in starting fires (such as lightning
causing forest fires). Furthermore, there was yellow sulphur in Tang
Jiang's room which contaminated his body and got into his skin, thus
causing a strong oxidation process to occur and leading to the deep burns
and sparks. This explains the primary reason why the electromagnetic
abnormality occurred on Tang Jiang's body and not on others in the family.
Of the connections between the earth's environment and the human
body, the phenomenon of electromagnetism is one of the most basic.
Comrade Qian Xuesen pointed out when he was talking of establishing a
theory of unique phenomena for somatic sciences: "the manifestation of
human paranormal abilities may actually be an electromagnetic field
between man and object, where man can be subjected to the effects of
electromagnetic waves and electromagnetic fields in the environment"1
Wang Xiubi and others demonstrated that in external DI, there exists weak
electromagnetic waves between ten and 360 megahertz which can cause an
increased charge density on the surface of red blood cells and an
acceleration in the electrophoresis rate. Dubuluofu (phonetic) believes
that the earth's magnetic field has obvious effects on the human body.
J. B. Beal has proposed that during earthquakes, low amplitude super low
frequency (0 to 100 hertz) earth magnetic interference is generated that
may affect the brain function. During wind storms, a vertical electrical
field signal is generated that may cause a change in the ionization
balance of the atmosphere, leading to different ailments in those persons
sensitive to the weather"* _. C. Polk has proposed that the earth's magnetic
field is a gradually changing field, and it has undergone many reversals.
Sunspot activity is one of the major factors in short term changes in the
earth's magnetic field. During magnetic storms, the degree of changes may
be as much as several hundred gamma (one gamma equals 10`5 gauss) and may
last for more than 20 hours (first rising and then falling). Furthermore,
this is accompanied by changes in other earth physics phenomena such as
atmospheric temperature and pressure, passage of universal rays, earth
electrical field (in a vertical direction) and atmospheric resistance,
causing complex biological effects?. In his book "The Earth and Static
Electricity", Xu Haomin described the increase in static electricity
during earthquakes and examples of people and animals giving off light and
becoming burned'. In his book "Looking for the Causes of Ground Lights",
he also describes the phenomenon of "ball lightning"3 The materials
above illustrate that astrophysical changes are a primary cause of
abnormal electromagnetic phenomena in people and objects on the earth such
as static electricity, ball lightning, electric fields on the surface of
biological entities and changes in magnetic fields as well as changes in
the bodies internal functions. When there are combustible materials
present, there is a definite possibility of leading to spontaneous
combustion. The views above are consistent with our investigation of the
scene and the hypothesis we reached after a series of experiments and
examinations that Tang Jiang's spontaneous combustion was due to a
magnetic storm causing electromagnetic anomalies in his body causing the

III. THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS RESEARCH INTO THE SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION
OF THE CHILD
First is for safety. Second is to illustrate that the causes of
questionable fires may be due to human abnormal electromagnetic phenomena.
According to what we presently know, we have come up with the following
suggestions for the protection of Tang Jiang.
1. Purchase a precision universal electric meter, and frequently
check the electrical parameters between his two upper extremities. If any
abnormalities are found, immediately use warm water to wipe down his
entire body to balance out the electrical charge distribution and passably
reduce the accumulation of combustible materials. Furthermore, he should
check himself daily for a few days after this, until the readings are
normal. He should not wear synthetic underwear to prevent any static
electricity. When there are marked changes in the weather, he should be
closely watched.
2. Prevent the child from coming in contact with combustible gasses
or entering areas where combustibles are piled up. After he has matured,
he should not work where he has to do this.
3. Be on the watch for the appearance of special phenomena around
him, such as ground fluorescence.
4. We suggest that health and disease prevention departments make a
phosphorous inspection of the Tang family's home and the neighborhood, to
improve the environment and the condition of the drinking water.
This article describes the results at this stage of multiple discipline
research into China's first example of human spontaneous combustion. We
have confirmed the objective existence of spontaneous combustion, and
based on currently available materials, we have proposed a possible model
for spontaneous combustion and have proposed suggestions for protecting
the child who had undergone spontaneous combustion.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank Xu Haomin, Wang
Xiubi, Li Xiangdong, Zhao Dingli, Tan Shusen and the many scientific
experts at our college for their guidance and assistance.

The rise of somatic science in China marks the highest of all things
born in the universe - man - and the prominent place he should have in the
universe and in the fields of modern science. It marks the important
foundation laid for somatic science by medical science and its branching
out and being propelled to the forefront of modern science. It also marks
the intimate union of traditional Chinese medicine and somatic science and
the outlook for major developments, which in the 21st century will become
a revolution for modern science and medicine.
a. TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE, MEDICINE AND SOMATIC SCIENCE
The rise of somatic science within the body of modern science, has
formed theories of modern somatic science concerning the subjects of
research, contents and methods. According to these theories:
L. Somatic science is a major portion of the body of modern science,
combininq natural sciences, mathematical sciences, system sciences,
thought sciences, and social sciences. Somatic science is the study of
man in his universal environment. Its subject of study, the human body,
is a conscious, open, complex giant system included in the super giant
system of the universe. Traditional Chinese medicine, Western medicine,
tIGONG, ESP as well as all other phenomena and processes of the functional
states of the open, complex system of the human body fall within the scope
of its research. As a system, somatic science includes three major
categories - basic science, technical science and applied engineering.
The basic theoretical sciences of medicine and the basic science and
technical science of somatic science are very closely related, just as the
theories of traditional Chinese medicine such as Yin and Yang, the theory
of five elements (wood, fire, earth, metal and water), the theory of
hidden phenomena and spirit, the theory of evidence and disease are all
closely related to the functional theories of somatic science concerning
the complex giant system of the human body. The same is true for
scientific and technological disciplines of Western medicine such as
pathology, pharmacology, immunology and parasitology. Medical clinical
sciences such as internal medicine, surgery, gynecology and obstetrics,
pediatrics and orthopedics can be considered as applied technologies of
somatic sciences.
We can see that the objects of research in medicine and somatic
sciences, broadly viewed, are both the human body. Narrowly viewed, the
object of medical research is the health of the human body and the

 , I Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000300040002-9
prevention and cure of disease. It is the commonality of the subjects of
research of medicine and somatic science that determines the intimate
relationship between the basic theories of medicine as well as clinical
science and the three major departments of somatic science. Furthermore,
the characteristics of medical study of the human body indicate that
medicine obviously is a portion of somatic science research, and is a
major branch of the body of somatic science.
2. Traditional Chinese medicine, Western medicine, as well as
combined traditional Chinese and Western medicine are all important
pillars and practical foundations of somatic science. They are important
contents of somatic science research. By using the theories and methods
of the open, complex giant system in somatic science to study traditional
Chinese and Western medicines, we can clearly see that they are two
different bodies of medicine formed under different historical and
cultural conditions, based on different philosophical thought and
scientific concepts, use different theories and methods and have developed
along different lines. There should be an overall scientific evaluation
of the advantages, disadvantages, special characteristics and
superiorities of these two types of medicine, stressing thorough research
through somatic science into the functional states of the open, complex
giant system of the human body and laws governing their adjustment and
transitions, to include the properties of the various levels of the human
body from the microscopic to the macroscopic, the interaction between
human consciousness and the various environmental levels of man's
universe, from quantitative to qualitative, comprehensively studying the
changes in the complex giant system of the human body to form a channel
between traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine and raise both
of them to the front lines of modern science and impel them to the
pinnacle of modern science.
3. There is a very profound inherent relationship between
traditional Chinese medicine and somatic science. From the very
beginnings of somatic science, Comrade Dian Xuelin has laid special stress
on "traditional Chinese medicine, OIGONG, and ESP are all one, they are a
single field of research"- A large number of scientific workers have
discovered through their strict experimental research on DIGONG and ESP
that there a great number of similarities between them. Many of the
.ubjects of experiments in the two are also closely tied in with the
theory of channels in traditional Chinese medicine and even with overall
theories of traditional Chinese medicine. They began to become conscious
of the fact that there may exist a profound inherent connection between
ESP and DIGONG and traditional Chinese medicine. If we full utilize all
possible modern scientific and technology knowledge and methods to conduct
experimental and theoretical research, and at the same time, on the basis
of modern science and technology fully absorb and digest the vast
inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine accumulated over several
thousand years in China, we will be further able to unite the research of
the three. We can also disclose the secrets of the human body, this
highest and most evolved product of the natural world, most complex and

 I Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000300040002-9
highest self-organized complex giant system--.
the results of this research will make more clear as time goes on
that traditional Chinese medicine is a major pillar of somatic science and
is a key to unlocking the mysteries of the complex giant system of the
human body. The uniting of traditional Chinese medicine, DIGONG and ESP
is the path to a modern scientific revolution. Traditional Chinese
medicine is more closely related to somatic science than to any of the
other modern sciences, and the subjects of research, content and methods
are most similar, the views and terminology are the nearest to each other.
The founding and development of somatic science will require assistance
from traditional Chinese medicine. The modernization of China's
traditional medicine will also require assistance from somatic science.
The intimate joining and mutual permeation of traditional Chinese medicine
and somatic science is a major avenue, point of breakthrough and
developmental direction for the modernization of traditional Chinese
medicine.
THE SYSTEM THEORY OF TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE IS THE BASIS AND
THE KNOT THAT TIES TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE AND SOMATIC SCIENCE
TOGETHER
Traditional Chinese medicine and somatic science come together at a
wide range of points.
The subject of study of somatic science is the human body. It is an
open, conscious, complex giant system. This concept is of profound
scientific significance. It especially stresses that the human body is
not only a complex giant system, but it also exists in the super giant
system of the universe. The human body is an open, complex giant system,
and it also is an especially complex giant system - a subsystem of the
social system. The human brain is also an open, complex giant system.
All the activities of the human body are carried out under the unified
control of the human brain. Therefore, we must merge these two giant
systems into one and completely study the characteristics of the
activities of the overall giant system of the human body.. Because of the
limitations of history, traditional Chinese Medicine cannot generalize its
subject of research to the degree above for somatic science, but it has a
profound description of this type of topic, and there are a large number
of similarities in trains of thought. Although traditional Chinese
medicine does not have this precise concept of the human body as an open,
conscious, complex giant system, it has compiled a great deal of profound
thoughts on this major topic, and requires that on the basis of modern
science and technology and through extensive research of this juncture of
medicine and somatic science, we absorb and digest its thoughts, and then
we may even more thoroughly reveal this open, complex giant system which
is the human body.
Close ties not only exist between traditional Chinese medicine and
somatic science in the subject of research, but also in a series of
Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000300040002-9
 ,I Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000300040002-9
aspects such as the contents of the research, the practical foundation and
methodology. In these wide ranging ties, the most important. and most
basic tie is the tie between the theories of Chinese traditional medicine
and the somatic sciences theories concerning the functional states of the
complex giant system of the human body. Because of the close ties between
the theories of traditional Chinese medicine and the theories of somatic
science concerning the functional states of the complex giant system of
the human body, there has been thorough research and development of the
system theories of Chinese traditional medicine, which is the theoretical
basis of the common development of traditional Chinese medicine and
somatic science.
What we have called traditional Chinese medicine system theories are
not in general referring to traditional meanings of the theories of
traditional Chinese medicine, but are the use of the theories and methods
of system science, the use of the theories of the functional states of the
complex giant system of the human body as well as qualitative to
quantitative, comprehensive integration methodology, to thoroughly study
the theoretical system of China's traditional medicine to gradually forge
it into a system concept of traditional Chinese medicine under modern
scientific conditions. As for the description of macroscopic
characteristics of the giant system of the human body, use the study of
the laws and corresponding principles and methods governing health and
disease prevention and cure through the macroscopic view of overall
reactions to analyze microscopic changes. In this manner, on the basis of
continuing to carry forward all reasonable and outstanding successes of
traditional Chinese medicine, we will fully absorb and digest the most
advanced and sharp edged scientific achievements of modern science, and
thus qive rise to new ideas, new principles and new methods in traditional
Chinese medicines system theory.
The body of traditional Chinese medicine in overall view includes
three levels. The system of Chinese philosophical thought, the system of
the basic theories of traditional Chinese medicine, and the body of
traditional Chinese clinical medicine. Using the theories and methods of
system science and using somatic science theories and methods concerning
the functional states of the complex, giant system of the human body to
thoroughly research the body of traditional Chinese medicine will allow
these to be tied together at the three levels to form and develop a system
theory for traditional Chinese medicine.
.1. In the historical process of forming and developing its
theoretical system, Chinese traditional medicine continuously widely
adopted the excellent achievements of ancient Chinese philosophy, natural
science and technology, and the humanities, and focussed them into the
crystallization of China's ancient dialectical materialism and theory and
practice of traditional Chinese medicine. It gradually formed the special
character of traditional Chinese medicine and the philosophical form of a
unique dialectical materialism, traditional Chinese medicine dialectics.
In the past 2,000 plus years, it has accompanied the generation and

 ? Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000300040002-9
development of the system of traditional Chinese medicine, with its
theoretical system based on the basic theories and clinical system of
traditional Chinese medicine. It also deeply penetrated inside this
system, and within the system of traditional Chinese medicine, it was a
vital connection and at the same time an independent level, serving as a
guiding ideology and a philosophical and theoretical basis. The core and
outline of the ideological system of traditional Chinese medicine is the
traditional Chinese medicine theory concerning the relationship between
man and the universe''. To use system sciences and the theories of somatic
science to develop the system theories of traditional Chinese medicine, it
is necessary first of all to use the modern anthropic theories, conduct
_horough research, to develop the theory of the relationship between man
and the universe in the system of China's traditional medicine. The
anthropic principle is the philosophical basis of the system of somatic
science, just as the traditional Chinese medicine idea of theory of the
relationship between man and the universe is the philosophical basis at
the center of the system of traditional Chinese medicine.
the guiding ideology of somatic science is system theory which is one
step above the unification of the integral theory and the reduction
theory. On one hand it makes full use of Western modern scientific
theories and technologies, and on the other hand also conscientiously
extracts oriental and Chinese traditional philosophical ideas and medical
theories and techniques, to organically and creatively develop somatic
science research. The forging of modern anthropic principles from the
ancient Chinese view of the relationship between man and the universe came
out of lust this sort of union. Somatic science is guided by the
anthropic principles in its discussion of the mutual connections between
the complex giant system of the human body and the various levels of the
universe. Traditional Chinese medicine was guided by the concept of the
relationship between man and the universe, to primarily discuss at the
macroscopic level the connections between man and nature. Although there
are large differences between the theories and methods of the two, they
are mutually intelligible. The former does not deny or refute the latter.
To the contrary, in order for somatic science to know the human body at
all five levels of the universe in an overall, systematic and thorough
way, it must conscientiously absorb the philosophy, medical theory and
technical accomplishments of traditional Chinese medicine over the last
2,000 plus years. It must make full use of the system of traditional
Chinese medicine, always maintaining the use of the basic instruments,
which are the use of the human system of senses as measurement
instruments. "Real actual tools are the organs of sense that man uses to
understand the objective world", "Only the results of the brain's
processing of the senses are measurements of man's understanding, only
this is mans understanding of the objective world. Therefore, a thorough
understanding of quantum mechanics measurement problems requires the use
of man's system of senses as measurement instruments and it is not the use
of the imagination as the instrument. The health and disease problems
medicine wants to solve, whether it is Western science using the
microscopic changes in the cellular tissue of organs to analyze the

 .' Approved For Release 2000/08/10 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000300040002-9
overall reactions to treat the disease, or if it is Chinese traditional
medicine using overall macroscopic reactions to analyze the microscopic
changes to treat the disease, or if is somatic science from the universal
view to the expanded view, from the microscopic view to the submicroscopic
view to analyze the human body at the macroscopic level, none of these can
divorce itself from the human body which exists as an integral unit at the
macroscopic level. Therefore, the theories and practice of Chinese
traditional medicine is of important significance for the creation and
development of somatic science. In yet another aspect, traditional
Chinese medicine is continuing to develop its view of the relationship
between man and the universe, its views of medicine and its technological
basis to further fully utilize modern science, especially the theories,
technologies and methods of somatic science and system science, completely
absorbing the scientific achievements of the anthropic principles. Thus,
the system of philosophy and ideology of traditional Chinese medicine must
be gradually enriched, developed and enhanced, completely shedding its
"simplistic" forms to become the guiding ideology for developing a modern
system theory for traditional Chinese medicine and to become the
philosophical basis for a modern scientific system of traditional Chinese
medicine.
2. Use of the somatic science theories on the functional states of
the complex giant system of the human body to thoroughly study the basic
theoretical system of traditional Chinese systems will also, at the points
of union on the three system levels, form new principles and new ideas in
the system theory of traditional Chinese medicine such as the Dl, Yin and
Yang and five element systems of the functional states, the hidden
symptoms spirit system functional state theory and the evidence-disease
system functional state theory. The three systems of functional state
theories mentioned above are three basic forms of Chinese medicine system
theory summarizing the understanding and study of the human body at the
macroscopic level, from giant systems to subsystems and from the main
outline to subbranches.
The central task of somatic science research is to study the
functional states of the complex giant system of the human body, which are
the macroscopic and microscopic functional states of the objective
environment of the super giant system of the universe in which man exists
and the laws governing the control and switching of the functional states
of the human body. It must study the mechanisms of the various functional
states of the human body. It must study the similarities and differences
of the various functional states to more thoroughly understand the
characteristics of the various functional states and their medical
significance. It must study the process of transition from one functional
state to another, doing exploratory research into the control parameters
of altering the functional states of the human body. It must study the
corresponding physical, chemical, biological and somatic effects generated
by the various functional states'.. Using these theories of functional
states, it should probe the DI, Yin and Yang, five element systems, hidden
symptoms and spirit systems of the basic theories of traditional Chinese

medicine, and then probe further to the evidence and disease system. This
is the intimate union of traditional Chinese medicine and somatic science.
With this sort of union, if we are able to raise to a new level
traditional Chinese medicine which already has a solid foundation of 2,000
years of practice, and also has scientific theories which reflect the
highest levels of modern science, this will undoubtedly be of very
important significance for breakthroughs in somatic science and the
theories of traditional Chinese medicine.
the theories of traditional Chinese medicine are not summed up in
theories of functional states. They are not all inclusive, just as the
theories of the functional states of the complex giant system of the human
body do not include all research in somatic science. However, the study
of the macroscopic forms of the operations, transitions and regulation of
the various functional states of the human body on the basis of the
theories of QI, Yin and Yang and the five elements is the heart of the
theoretical system of traditional Chinese medicine. The theories of QI,
Yin and Yang and five elements in Chinese medicine are actually the use of
Cal. as the basis of the giant system of the human body, the constant
evolving of Yin and Yang is the core, and the five elements, which are
five types of QI, are the basis for the changes, transition and regulation
of the various functional states at the various levels in the human body.
The primary unique characteristic of the theories of traditional
Chinese medicine is that it emphasizes QI and deemphasizes the bodily
organs. It is precise concerning Qi and imprecise concerning the bodily
organs. It is precise on the functional states and imprecise on the state
of the organs. This naturally has been restricted by historical
conditions. It does not have the conditions and methods for modern
