Abstract | This study uses the formulation of systems theory to systematically interpret three ancient Chinese theories – the theory of the five elements, the theory of yin-yang, and the theory of qi. The five elements theory explains the internal structure and linkages of things; the theory of qi explains the change mechanism of materials, energy, and information both internally and externally; and the theory of yin-yang explains the conditions for the harmonious development of things and the reasons for their evolution. Together, these theories explain the laws and internal mechanisms of movement, change, and the development of things. Traditional Chinese thinking contains abundant dialectical materialism that is waiting for us to discover and apply. |
