By combing the physiological characteristics of wind and fire， the article makes it clear that wind and fire are evils， and external wind is easy to attack and even worse when it encounters fire； burnt and moving fire evils set off internal winds； and the incitement of each other can lead to the occurrence of palpitations. From the perspective of the theory of "wind and fire inciting each other"， the clinical diagnosis and treatment of palpitation is discussed， which clarifies that there is an internal and external distinction between wind and fire， and there is an internal and external distinction between the real and the imaginary， which should be carefully distinguished in the diagnosis and treatment of palpitation. In the treatment， wind medicine can be skillfully applied to drive away the wind evil to calm the internal and external， and it is also necessary to clearly identify the source of the fire evil and properly choose the corresponding treatment for the fire evil in order to extinguish the burnt fire. As the positive qi exists and the evil will not dry up， we should not forget to take care of the heart in the treatment. An example of a medical case is attached in order to provide new ideas for the clinical treatment of palpitation.
