GUO Zhiqiang’ s academic viewpoint of respecting yang and its application in gynecological diseases were introduced. Professor GUO Zhiqiang advocated the theory that the woman’s body is "insufficient in yin and yang is always deficiency"

and it is perfected in theory and practice. The treatment not only pays attention to the insufficiency of yin essence

but also pays attention to protecting the yang qi of the patient. Thus

the academic viewpoint of respecting yang

centered on "mutual coordination of yin and yang

and yin based and yang dominate"was formed

which emphasizes that in the field of gynecology

the rise and fall of yang qi

especially kidney yang

is of paramount importance.
