Classic Chinese medicine
1, Huangdi Neijing
Huangdi Neijing is divided into Su Wen and Ling Shu, which is one of the earliest ancient books in China. Su Wen focuses on viscera, meridians, causes, mechanisms, disease syndromes, diagnosis, treatment principles and acupuncture. Lingshu is an inseparable companion of Su Wen, and its contents are basically the same. In addition to discussing the function, etiology and pathogenesis of viscera, it also focuses on meridians and acupoints, acupuncture, acupuncture methods and treatment principles.
The basic spirit and main contents of Huangdi Neijing include: holistic view, yin and yang, five elements, viscera and meridians, etiology and pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment, prevention and health preservation and luck theory. "Holism" emphasizes that the human body and nature are a whole, and the structure of the human body and its parts are interrelated. "Yin-Yang and Five Elements" is a theory to explain the unity of opposites between things. Zangxiang Jing focuses on the physiological functions, pathological changes and their relationships of human internal organs.
"Etiology and pathogenesis" expounds whether various pathogenic factors act on the human body and the internal mechanism of their changes. "Syndrome Differentiation and Treatment" is the basic principle of TCM understanding and treatment. "Prevention and Health Preservation" systematically expounds the theory of TCM health preservation and is an important summary of the experience of health preservation and disease prevention. "Luck theory" studies the influence of natural climate on human physiology and pathology, and as a basis, guides people to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
2. Treatise on Febrile Diseases
Treatise on Febrile Diseases was written by Zhang Zhongjing in the Eastern Han Dynasty at the beginning of the 3rd century A.D. It is one of the classic works of ancient Chinese medicine and a monograph for treating exogenous fever. One of the outstanding achievements of Treatise on Febrile Diseases is the establishment of the syndrome differentiation system of six meridians. Using four diagnoses and eight categories, this paper comprehensively expounds the pulse diagnosis, syndrome differentiation, treatment, prescription and medication law of typhoid fever in various stages in the form of articles.
This book summarizes the medical achievements and rich practical experience of predecessors, integrates the medical achievements before the Han Dynasty, and systematically expounds the syndrome differentiation and treatment of various exogenous diseases in combination with its own clinical experience. It has epoch-making significance in traditional Chinese medicine, plays the role of connecting the past with the future and has made important contributions to the development of traditional Chinese medicine.
Moreover, Treatise on Febrile Diseases not only puts forward the dialectical program and treatment method of exogenous diseases, but also provides the standard of syndrome differentiation and treatment for clinical departments of traditional Chinese medicine, thus laying the foundation for syndrome differentiation and treatment, which is regarded as a classic by later physicians.
3. synopsis of the golden chamber
Synopsis of the Golden Chamber is also the earliest monograph on the diagnosis and treatment of miscellaneous diseases in China, and it is the representative work of Zhong Jing's theory of syndrome differentiation and treatment. Physicians in ancient and modern times highly praised this book, calling it the ancestor of prescription science, the classic of medical prescriptions and the model of treating miscellaneous diseases. The title of synopsis of the golden chamber means important and precious, and "synopsis" means conciseness, which shows that the content of this book is essential and valuable and should be carefully preserved and applied.
The first chapter is the syndrome of zang-fu organs and meridians, which is the basis of the whole book. Based on the theory of viscera and meridians, this paper expounds the occurrence and change of various syndromes and their relationship with viscera and meridians. Chapters 2 to 22 respectively discuss more than 20 kinds of diseases, such as spastic wet disease, lily fox-confused yin-yang virus disease, malaria disease, stroke syndrome, pregnancy disease, postpartum disease and miscellaneous diseases of women. Diseases are mainly internal miscellaneous diseases, and there are separate articles on surgical gynecological diseases.
Etiology, "synopsis of the golden chamber" is clearly divided into three parts, that "there are thousands of difficulties and dangers, nothing more than three difficulties." On the one hand, the internal cause is that the meridians are affected by evil entering the zang-fu organs; Both of them are nine orifices of limbs, which are transmitted by blood and blocked by skin. Third, atrioventricular, golden blade, insect and beast. In this detail, the disease has been exhausted. "This has direct implications for the etiology theory of later generations.
4. Syndrome differentiation of febrile diseases
This book is one of the important masterpieces of Treatise on Febrile Diseases, written by Wu Tang (Jutong). Based on the achievements of many experts on epidemic febrile diseases in Qing Dynasty, the book further established a theoretical system of epidemic febrile diseases completely independent of typhoid fever, and established a program of triple energizer syndrome differentiation, which is a landmark monograph of epidemic febrile diseases theory in Qing Dynasty.
Syndrome Differentiation of Epidemic Febrile Diseases reiterates the separation of cold and temperature, and points out that there are three causes (latent qi, seasonal qi and sudden qi) and nine diseases (wind and temperature, epidemic febrile disease, warm toxin, summer fever, autumn dryness, winter fever and warm malaria). The triple energizer syndrome differentiation scheme was established. Wu's differentiation of triple energizer is not only clear and definite, but also can be implemented in specific viscera, rather than the elusive "membrane".
From the historical development, this syndrome differentiation system, Zhang Zhongjing's syndrome differentiation of six channels of typhoid fever and Ye's syndrome differentiation of warming and nourishing blood are complementary wings, and it is one of the innovative theories of febrile diseases. The book puts forward a series of principles for treating fever, which has become the standard for treating fever since then. Some academic viewpoints are still valued by clinicians until now.
