This is the method mentioned more than 2000 years ago in "Discussion on Principles of Yin-Yang Doctrine and its Relations with Natural Things and Phenomena", a chapter of Plain Questions. The content includes "anger impairs the liver while grief restricts anger"; "joy impairs the heart while fear restricts joy"; "anxiety impairs the spleen while anger restricts anxiety"；"melancholy impairs the lung while joy restricts melancholy" and "fear impairs the kidney while anxiety restricts fear." This method of checking one emotion with another is based on the principle of excess curing excess.
“五情相克”的方法早在2000多年前的《黃帝內經素問》（小編注：《黃帝內經素問》簡稱《素問》，是現存最早的中醫理論著作，相傳為黃帝創作，大約成書于春秋戰國時期。突出闡發了古代的哲學思想，強調了人體內外統一的整體觀念，從而成為中醫基本理論的淵源。）討論五行學說與自然現象的章節中就有涉及。“五情相克”的內容包括“怒傷肝而悲能勝怒；喜傷心而恐勝喜；思傷脾而怒勝思；憂傷肺而喜勝憂；恐傷腎而思勝恐。”這種方法的理論依據是“五行相生相克”（小編注：五行相克，指的是事物的相互克制、制約或抑制的關系，如木克土，土克水，水克火，火克金，金克木。五行在中醫理論中是指構成天地萬物的五種基本物質，用以說明世界萬物的起源和世界是物質多樣性的統一體。）
