This presentation attempts to fill an obvious gap in the study of Chinese medicine education by presenting a systematic analysis of the role of the five, six, and seven emotions in the history and foundational knowledge of clinical medicine. Prof. Fruehauf will analyze the symbolism of relevant pictograms to reveal a layer of deeply complex information associated with the topic of the emotions. As an example for the clinical application of emotional therapy, he will present the healing system utilized by the Confucian healer Wang Fengyi (1864-1937).
