This paper discussed the etiology, pathogenesis and treatment methods of pulmonary nodules based on the theory of “
yang
transforms into
qi
, while
yin
constitutes form”. It is believed that the nodules are tangible entities induced by the depletion of
yang qi
failing to transport and transform the essence, blood, fluids and others, and finally caused by the accumulated pathogenic phlegm-rheum, static turbidity and toxin. For treatment, it is suggested to warm
yang
to facilitate
qi
transformation and root protection, and to additionally select from the methods of dissolving phlegm, invigorating blood, resolving toxins, moving
qi
and dissipating masses based on the abnormal exuberance of
yin
or
yang
, all of which can provide ideas for the treatment of lung nodules in traditional Chinese medicine.
