Most scholars believe that the theory of Yin Fire( 阴火) is arising with the medical development of Jin-Yuan Dynasties. In fact
Yin Fire is not originated in medicine. As early as Yin-Yang and Five Elements Theory prevailed
the ancients already had some knowledge of Yin Fire. The understanding of Yin Fire in TCM is different from the definition of Yin Fire in Yin-Yang Theory and so we made some corrections in this article.
