Father of Biologics Holography - Zhang Ying-qing

I. Brief Biography of Professor Zhang:

Zhang Ying-qing was born in February 1947 in Baotou City, Inner Mongolia, into an ordinary clerk's family. Like his peers, Zhang Ying-qing did not have the opportunity to attend university after graduating from high school in 1966, but instead went to the grasslands to settle down.

In 1973, Professor Zhang Ying-qing invented the Biologics Holographic Diagnosis and Therapy, a new technology in modern biology. It is characterized by simplicity, convenience, wide application, high efficacy, and fast diagnosis and treatment. The distribution pattern of acupoints on the second metacarpal side of the human body is exactly the same as the distribution pattern of the corresponding parts or organs in the whole body. The presence and location of tender points can determine which parts or organs in the whole body are diseased or not; acupuncture or massage on the holographic acupoint groups such as the second metacarpal side can treat diseases of the corresponding parts or organs of the human body. Such diagnostic methods and therapies are collectively referred to as Biologics Holographic Diagnosis and Therapy. The application of Biologics Holographic Diagnosis and Therapy can diagnose and treat various diseases, and it is a non-invasive treatment method. Everyone can use it to diagnose and treat their own diseases.

In 1982, Zhang Ying-qing's foundational work on holographic biology, "The Three Laws of Biological Structure," was published. In the same year, Shandong University, recognizing his talent, transferred this young man with only a TV university diploma to the university, promoted him to associate professor a year later, and to professor in 1990. In 1990, Zhang established the Institute of Holographic Biology at Shandong University and served as its director. In 1990, Zhang was approved by the Ministry of Personnel as a national expert with outstanding contributions among young and middle-aged people, and in 1991, he was approved by the State Council to enjoy special government allowances. In 1990, at the first International Symposium on Holographic Biology held in Singapore, Zhang was elected as the lifelong chairman of the International Holographic Biology Society.

The Biologics Holographic Diagnosis and Therapy invented by Zhang has been promoted and applied in more than 30 countries and regions over the past few decades, benefiting millions of people.

More than 300 years ago, British scientist Hooke first saw plant cells through a microscope. In 1985, Zhang Ying-qing discovered a new independent functional structural unit between cells and biological individuals: the holographic embryo.

Zhang Ying-qing's theoretical works on holographic biology, such as "Holographic Biology," "Biologics Holographic Therapy," "Holographic Embryo and Its Medical Applications," and "New Biological Perspectives," have been translated into multiple languages and widely disseminated and applied internationally. Many universities in China have offered courses on holographic biology.

Zhang's academic achievements have been highly evaluated by the international academic community, believing that his results have significant theoretical and practical value for research in life sciences, medicine, and agronomy. It was Zhang's holographic embryo theory established in 1985 that clearly resolved the academic controversy over the totipotency of animal cells, thus laying the theoretical foundation for the birth of cloning technology 12 years later.

In the early 1990s, Professor Zhang Ying-qing was invited three times to visit the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, which awards the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, and gave several academic reports under the auspices of professors with the right to nominate for the Nobel Prize. The Science and Technology Office and the Education Office of our embassy in Sweden sent back three reports to the State Science and Technology Commission and the State Education Commission about Zhang's academic achievements being highly evaluated in Sweden, stating that "as long as further scientific verification and promotion of the holographic biology theory are done, and publicity is strengthened, the inventor of this theory, Professor Zhang Ying-qing, is very likely to win the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in the near future." The staff of the Science and Technology Office of the embassy said that no scientific achievement in our country has ever received such evaluation from scientists of the Nobel Prize awarding institution as Zhang Ying-qing's achievement.

II. Getting Close to Zhang Ying-qing

If someone tells you that your five fingers, five-petaled flowers, five-needle pines, and five-pulse leaves share a unified evolutionary formula, you might punch them; if someone tells you that your five zang-organs, five sense organs, and the five-stroke input method invented by modern Chinese scientist Professor Wang Yongmin have an essential internal connection, you might kick them; if someone tells you that life in our Taiyang (EX-HN5) system and potentially existing life in the Andromeda galaxy share the same evolutionary pattern, you might give them both punches and kicks; if someone tells you that every unit of your life contains the shadow of your entire body, how would you deal with them?

The inherent mindset and hypocritical self-esteem of humans are dictatorial to the point of being horrifying. They greatly stifle the innate human nature of perpetual doubt, significantly hinder modern people from opening their hearts to accommodate different viewpoints, and also prevent people from reading great truths from some commonplace phenomena.

Tongue inspection and pulse manifestation are common applications of the holistic view in Chinese medicine. Tens of thousands of old Chinese medicine practitioners, young Chinese medicine practitioners; famous Chinese medicine practitioners, mediocre Chinese medicine practitioners, diagnose diseases daily through pulse feeling. It is said that some Chinese medicine practitioners are extremely proficient in pulse diagnosis, able to determine the gender of a baby through pulse feeling. However, what greatly embarrassed the Chinese medicine community was Professor Zhang Ying-qing from Shandong University, who was not formally trained in Chinese medicine, but drew inspiration from the tongue inspection and pulse manifestation that Chinese medicine has been practicing for thousands of years, and creatively discovered the internationally acclaimed theory of biological holography. Only then did the Chinese medicine community wake up and follow the trend of "holography."

The most valuable asset of humanity is doubt.

Here is a question: What happened to the Chinese medicine community, with such a high posture, generously yielding the significant discovery of the holographic theory contained within the concept of holism to Zhang Ying-qing—a youth who once went to the countryside to be a farmer?

There are many great Chinese medicine practitioners, university professors, and numerous doctors and masters, so why didn't this large group of highly educated individuals, with their combined intellect, discover the holographic theory of Chinese medicine?

This is precisely the case: accompanying for a thousand years without recognition, solving the mystery requires a dedicated person—China's Zhang Ying-qing.

1. China has produced a Zhang Ying-qing.

There are five reasons for advocating Zhang Ying-qing:

1. I myself am a Chinese medicine practitioner, having studied for a master's degree and attempting to pursue a doctoral degree, and I place great importance on innovation in the field of Chinese medicine.
2. The holistic view is extremely important to Chinese medicine; it is the soul of Chinese medicine. Deciphering its secrets would undoubtedly be like dropping an atomic bomb in the Chinese medicine community.
3. Zhang Ying-qing is too great; he is the most successful person in innovating Chinese medicine theory after Zhang Zhong-jing.
4. Zhang Ying-qing's theory of biological holography is a significant theoretical innovation in the holistic view of Chinese medicine. It seems quite difficult for the Chinese medicine community to achieve another equally great theoretical breakthrough.
5. The Chinese medicine community is a theoretical camp most prone to conservatism, with rigid thinking, complacency, exclusion of dissenting views, and difficulty in accepting new theories. Especially many so-called masters of Chinese medicine are often indifferent to and even hinder the innovation and reform of Chinese medicine.

Based on even one of the above points, it is enough to constitute my reason for valuing Professor Zhang Ying-qing. Why not admire him to the point of complete submission?

I represent the Chinese medicine community (allow me to represent it), thanking and respecting Zhang Ying-qing for deciphering the ancient mystery of Chinese medicine—the holistic view. At the same time, I cannot help but feel jealous: why did I, a student of Chinese medicine, "plant flowers without them blooming," while Zhang Ying-qing, an "outsider" to Chinese medicine, "planted willows that grew into shade," achieving a significant breakthrough in Chinese medicine theory?

Zhang Ying-qing, born in 1947. In the 1960s, under the slogan "The countryside is a vast world where one can achieve much," he went to the countryside and became a farmer in the grasslands of Inner Mongolia. After returning to the city, he was fortunate to become an acupuncture and moxibustion doctor, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him. The holistic view of Chinese medicine, including tongue inspection, pulse manifestation, and the treatment of left-side diseases with right-side acupuncture and vice versa, fascinated Zhang, an outsider to Chinese medicine. The holistic thinking of seeing the big from the small led Master Zhang to think far and wide:

Why can an earthworm, cut into several segments, each grow into a complete earthworm? Does each segment contain all the information of a complete earthworm? A potato tuber can be cut into several pieces, each of which can grow into a complete potato plant. Why?

Why do the stripes on the forelimbs, hindlimbs, and tails of mammals such as zebras, leopards, and tigers match the number of stripes on their bodies?

Why do the shapes of tree leaves resemble the overall shape of the tree? Why does the shape of a pear fruit resemble the shape of a pear tree? Plants like reeds and wheat, which have parallel leaf veins, branch from the base or lower part of the stem, with the main stem having almost no branches. Why does the branching pattern of the entire plant closely resemble the vein pattern of its leaves?

What is the relationship between each relatively independent part of an organism and the organism as a whole?

Endless questions, countless inquiries. Zhang Ying-qing asks questions, ranging from Chinese medicine to beyond Chinese medicine; from animals to plants, to the entire realm of life. With one thought, two considerations, and three doubts, Zhang Ying-qing, based on the Chinese medicine concept of holism, diverges his thinking and creatively discovers the "Biological Holographic Law," a monumental theoretical achievement in the field of Chinese medicine.

II. What a Biological Holographic Theory

The term "holographic" is borrowed, referring to the characteristic of holographic photography where each fragment of a broken holographic photo can still display the complete image of the photographed object. Humans invented holographic photography based on this principle.

Biological holography is based on the Chinese medicine holistic view of understanding the whole by observing a part, and it grafts the holographic concept of holographic photography to explain the phenomenon that each relatively independent part of an organism is a scaled-down version of the whole. Professor Zhang Ying-qing published his seminal work "Biological Holographic Law" in the journal "Nature" in 1981. This theory posits that each relatively independent part of an organism with life functions (also known as a holographic unit) contains all the information of the whole. To some extent, a holographic unit can be considered a microcosm of the whole. For example, the humerus (upper arm bone), forearm bones, five metacarpal bones of the upper limb, and the femur, lower leg bones of the lower limb are all holographic units, each a microcosm of the human body.

Biological holography has opened a new chapter in Chinese holographic science. It is a milestone discovery by the Chinese in the field of life sciences.

In 1838, Germans Schleiden and Schwann, using their homemade magnifying lenses, discovered cells and established the cell theory, unifying animals and plants at the cellular level. This was a significant event in human life sciences. However, whether there is a unified functional unit above the cellular level remains unknown. A century and a half later, countless scientists have exhausted their efforts without result. In 1985, in China, Zhang Ying-qing discovered the Biological Holographic Law and proposed the theory of biological holographic embryos, bringing this age-old mystery to light.

The theory of holographic embryos, a significant discovery by a Chinese scientist. It suggests that different structural and functional units of an organism, such as the head, neck, and limbs of animals, and the leaves, branches, and petals of plants, are essentially the same thing—holographic embryos, each containing all the information of the whole organism, and can be considered specialized embryos. This is why cutting an earthworm into two pieces can result in two earthworms.

Zhang Ying-qing succeeded, and the Chinese medicine holistic view succeeded. The theory of biological holography has caused a strong reaction in the academic community both domestically and internationally. Renowned Chinese biologist Professor Bei Shizhang believes that biological holography "has made an important contribution to science." Nobel Prize winner in Physiology or Medicine and member of the British Royal Society, Professor Huxley, pointed out that Zhang Ying-qing's theory has very great significance. The American medical journal HPR commented: "Just as the discovery of cells played a role in the history of biology, the theory of holographic embryos established by Zhang Ying-qing will greatly promote the development of medicine and biology."

Shandong University, not judging heroes by academic qualifications, exceptionally appointed Zhang Yingqing as a professor. His innovative thinking is outstanding, with a prolific body of work, including major academic works such as "Holographic Biology," "Holographic Embryos and Their Medical Applications," "Holographic Diagnosis and Therapy in Biology," and "A New Biological Perspective." The theory of biological holography is a major doctrine that can be compared to systems theory, control theory, and information theory. The science of biological holography pioneered by Zhang Yingqing showcases the unique creative spirit inherent in the Chinese people.

To understand biological holography, it is crucial to pay close attention to the following points:

1. Holographic Unit: Each relatively independent part of a biological organism that possesses life functions is called a holographic unit. It has relatively clear boundaries with the organism and constitutes the holographic units of the whole, belonging to different levels. Larger holographic units can contain smaller ones. The higher the level of the holographic unit, the closer its connection to the whole.
2. Meaning of Holography: Each relatively independent part of a biological organism has the same chemical composition pattern as the whole, being a proportional reduction of the whole.
3. Holographic Embryo: It is a specialized embryo at a certain developmental stage that constitutes part of a biological organism. An organism is composed of multiple holographic embryos at different developmental stages and with varying degrees of specialization. This provides a completely new view of the biological whole, fundamentally and conceptually changing people's understanding of biological organisms.
4. Cell Totipotency: Zhang Ying-qing proposed in holographic biology the theory that "somatic cells of mammals have totipotency, i.e., the potential ability to develop into new individuals."

Cell totipotency is the modern version of the holistic thinking in Chinese medicine.

In 1902, Gottlieb Haberlandt proposed the theory of plant cell totipotency, stating that plant cells retain the potential to develop into complete plants. In 1958, F.C. Steward finally cultivated new plants from carrot root cells under artificial conditions, proving this hypothesis. Inspired by this theory, scientists worldwide began using somatic cells to propagate new plants.

In 1997, British scientist Wilmut, guided by the theory of cell totipotency, successfully conducted a historic experiment, cloning the sheep Dolly from somatic cells. This opened the prelude to human cloning of animals using somatic cells, thereby also confirming the foresight of Zhang Ying-qing's theory.

III. There is also a heaven beyond the heavens

In fact, the phenomenon of life holography is not exclusive to the Chinese; it's just that the Chinese have utilized and developed it better.

As early as the 4th to 5th century BC, Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, proposed a view strikingly similar to the holographic law of the human body: "What exists in the largest part of the body also exists in the smallest part. This smallest part itself contains all parts, and these parts are interrelated, capable of transmitting all changes to other parts." This holographic idea that "the smallest part itself contains all parts" is vividly expressed. Hippocrates also astonishingly stated, "As is the eye, so is the body." His views represent the ancient Egyptians' early recognition of the iris as a holographic microcosm of the entire human body.

Ear diagnosis of systemic diseases, a piece of cake in Chinese medicine thinking, has also been valued by foreign medical practitioners. Dr. Nogier, a French surgeon, published "The Distribution Map of Ear Points Resembling an Embryo's Reflection" in the German Acupuncture Journal in 1957, spreading ear acupuncture holographic therapy from Germany to the world.

Palm diagnosis, with its mysterious appearance, has also been researched early in the West. In 1892, Galton published the book "Finger Prints," discovering genetic evidence for the development of skin textures and that no two people have identical fingerprints.

Foot diagnosis and therapy have long become part of modern medicine. This holographic idea was introduced to Europe in the 16th century by Adams and Attatis, who brought ancient Chinese foot massage to Europe. In 1917, British doctor Fitzgerald, based on Chinese foot therapy, created his unique "foot reflexology" and published the work "Zone Therapy."

Life holography, a pearl shimmering with the collective wisdom of all humanity, reflects the strikingly similar foresight and creative talents of people around the world. It has a long history and is unpretentious. Only China's Zhang Ying-qing has perfected and utilized it to its fullest extent, achieving the greatest brilliance in the science of biological holography.

IV. The Law of Holographic Evolution of Life

Professor Zhang Ying-qing, inspired by the holistic view of Chinese medicine, combined with his unique intellectual acuity and genius perspective, discerned the Law of Holographic Evolution of Life within the holistic view of Chinese medicine.

Based on the emphasis on holography and respect for Professor Zhang Ying-qing, we have summarized his theory of biological holography into an important law of biological evolution. Together with other laws, it forms one of the principles in this book that studies the laws of life evolution from the perspective of Chinese medicine.

The Law of Holographic Evolution of Life:

1. In life forms that evolve from a common origin, any relatively independent part of the life structure or functional unit within the organism has a holographic correspondence with each other.
2. In life forms that evolve from a common origin, any relatively independent part of the life structure or functional unit within the organism has a holographic correspondence with the organism itself.

Explanation of the Law of Holographic Evolution of Life:

Holographic correspondence between holographic units: Each relatively independent part of life that evolves from a common source material, due to the semi-conservative replication of DNA in the source cells, forms completely equal DNA genes after replication. Therefore, each independent part possesses identical genes. They have eternal comparability and similarity. Each relatively independent part, or holographic unit, has a holographic correspondence in the distribution of its biological characteristics.

A holographic unit is the basic structural unit of an organism, such as a cell, each bone, ear, tongue, etc., all are holographic units. Each part of a holographic unit that expresses biological characteristics has corresponding parts in the whole or other holographic units; the distribution pattern of each part on the holographic unit is the same as the distribution pattern of corresponding parts in the whole or other holographic units.

A holographic unit is a structural unit of a life form and at the same time a vibrant, relatively independent life entity. It has two selves: one is its own self, self-consistent and with a certain degree of independence; the other is the self of the life form, a component within the tissue, necessary to fulfill the larger life. The self has the potential and reality to evolve into a new life form; the self of the life form is just a molecule, a brick within the life form, sacrificing the opportunity to form an independent life, submitting to the larger context, fulfilling the special functions assigned by the life form.

Holographic correspondence between holographic units and the life form: The life form is the most specialized holographic unit, the largest holographic unit. It is formed by the specialization of source cells, the largest unit capable of independently expressing life phenomena. For example, a person is composed of many cells or tissues. The life individual and the holographic units named sub-life forms have a containing-contained relationship.

Within the life form, each holographic unit performs its own functions, expressing part of the life functions. The life form, as the largest whole, integrates the functions of all holographic units within the life form, producing the greatest life movement. Each holographic unit is a component of it.

The potential of each small whole holographic unit is constrained under the environment of the large whole life form. This makes each holographic unit a special part that must sacrifice individuality to fulfill the needs of the large whole life form. Although they all retain the original source genetic material and have the potential to form new life forms, this potential, in the environment of the life form that emphasizes collectivism, is merely a pawn and cannot be the master of its own actions.

Each small whole holographic unit is also holographically equivalent to the largest whole life individual. In terms of biological characteristics, each part of the small holographic unit can find a corresponding relationship in the large whole life form.

In summary, the law of holographic evolution of life illustrates that life forms or each relatively independent holographic unit evolved from the same source of essence are holographically corresponding. Parts correspond holographically with parts; parts correspond holographically with the whole. Here, holography can be understood as a one-to-one correspondence in the distribution of biological characteristics. It is a congruence at the informational level, not at the material level.
