Traditional Chinese medicine "meridian tropism" is a summary of long-term medication practice of doctors in past dynasties. According to the subject category, it is a part of Chinese medicine. The drug "meridian tropism" involves meridians and viscera, which can reflect the relationship between meridians and viscera and the function of meridian theory. Through the specific methods and contents of drug "meridian tropism", it can be fully explained that drug "meridian tropism" and viscera "meridian tropism" are both logical tools, and meridian theory is not only the specific scientific methodology for studying human physiology and pathology, but also can be used in pharmaceutical research. In the field of pharmacological research, the "meridian tropism" of drugs is entirely based on the therapeutic effect of drugs on viscera and organs, rather than the therapeutic effect of drugs on "meridian" itself. Meridian theory is purely to provide theoretical tools and methodology for pharmaceutical research.
Under the guidance of meridian theory, Chinese medicine classifies all organs and tissues of human body into meridians, and each meridian has its own organs or tissues. Therefore, according to the therapeutic effect of drugs on organs and tissues, the "meridian tropism" of drugs can be determined. The specific method is to summarize the therapeutic effects of commonly used drugs on viscera and organs, and then determine the meridians of drugs according to the meridians of viscera and organs, so as to make the positioning and trend of drug effects more clear, highlight the pertinence and selectivity of drug therapeutic effects, and facilitate clinical application. If a drug is targeted or selective to some diseases of viscera and organs, and the curative effect is remarkable, the "meridian" of the drug can be determined according to the "meridian" of viscera and organs. For example, ephedra, almond and platycodon grandiflorum all belong to the lung meridian; Atractylodes lancea, Magnolia Officinalis and Amomum villosum are good at regulating the spleen and stomach, belonging to the two meridians of the spleen and stomach. For another example, raspberry can treat enuresis, which is caused by bladder deficiency, so it belongs to kidney meridian. Meridian tropism of each medicine is summarized according to the therapeutic effect of the medicine on viscera or tissues and organs. This shows that the viscera and organs of human body must be classified into meridians first, and then the meridian tropism of drugs can be determined according to the therapeutic effect of drugs on viscera and organs. Moreover, meridian tropism of viscera and organs and meridian tropism of drugs are all logical tools. The main purpose of meridian tropism of human viscera and organs is to explain physiology and pathology and guide diagnosis and treatment. The "meridian tropism" of commonly used drugs in clinic is to clarify the direction and trend of drug action, highlight the pertinence and selectivity of drug action, and facilitate clinical application. Therefore, the meridian theory has a guiding role in physiology, pathology, diagnostics, therapeutics and traditional Chinese medicine.
First, the historical overview of drug meridian tropism
The discovery, application and development of traditional Chinese medicine, like the development of traditional Chinese medicine, have gone through a long period of historical practice.
The theory of drug meridian tropism was gradually formed after Neijing, but it has sprouted in Neijing. For example, Su Wen's "Xuanwu Mingqi" records that "five flavors enter, acid enters the liver, pungent enters the lungs, bitter enters the heart, salty enters the kidney, and sweet enters the spleen". "On the Nine Treasures of Lingshu" also records that "the sour tendons, pungent qi, bitter blood, salty bones and sweet meat are called the five elements". These records show that, although Neijing did not explicitly put forward the meridian tropism of drugs, it summarized the law of drug use according to the nature and taste of drugs, which laid the foundation for the formation of the theory of meridian tropism of drugs in later generations.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Zhongjing wrote Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases, which summarized the complicated clinical manifestations of exogenous fever into six meridians syndromes. For each meridian syndrome, there are therapeutic principles and prescriptions, and the initial form of drug meridian tropism has been formed, which provides methods and experience for the formation of drug meridian tropism and its clinical application.
Early herbal works, such as Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica, discussed the performance and therapeutic effects of drugs, and most of them mainly showed symptoms, such as Changshan anti-malaria, Coptis chinensis treating dysentery, Melia azedarach expelling insects, Ephedra relieving asthma, Angelica sinensis regulating menstruation, Colla Corii Asini stopping bleeding, and Aconiti lateralis Preparata relieving pain. However, there are few discussions on the combination of drug efficacy and viscera, such as "Five Stone Lipids Supplementing Five Zang Organs and Five Colors". During the Tang and Song Dynasties, there were more and more discussions about the combination of drug performance and curative effect with viscera, including drugs for "tonifying lung", drugs for "benefiting spleen" and drugs for "reassuring pills". In the Northern Song Dynasty, when Kou Zongshuang discussed the efficacy of Alisma orientalis, he said that "drugs enter the kidney meridian". This shows that the concept of "meridian tropism" was clearly put forward in the Northern Song Dynasty.
During the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, with the development of medicine, the study of pharmacology was promoted. Zhang, a famous physician, made a comprehensive exposition on the four qi, five flavors, ups and downs, and reinforcing and reducing of drugs. During Jin Taizong's reign (equivalent to 5 years of Xuanhe in the Southern Song Dynasty-3 years of Duanping), he wrote the book Pearl Capsule, which first established the theory of drug meridian tropism. Almost all the medicinal materials in this book are recorded as "meridian tropism" and "citation of classics". It is believed that the curative effect will be more obvious if the drug is treated according to its performance and therapeutic effect. If the meridian tropism is unknown, it is difficult to get a definite result. Zhang's theory of drug meridian tropism, as well as the theory of drug meridian guidance, further enriched the theory of drug meridian tropism, which is really helpful for prescription medication. Li Shizhen once spoke highly of him and thought that he "promoted medicine, and he was the only one under the spirit." In addition, He Wang spoke highly of Zhang's theory of meridian tropism. For example, there are 865,438+0 kinds of meridian tropism drugs in Wang Bencao Decoction. History shows that in the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, the theory of drugs entering the classics prevailed.
By the Ming Dynasty, the meridian tropism of drugs had become a special topic in herbal books. For example, the Compendium of Materia Medica, edited by Liu, discusses that there are 24 items for each medicine, especially pointing out the meridian tropism of the medicine. Compendium of Materia Medica not only completely inherits the content of the meridian tropism in the past, but also discusses in detail the "entering qi" and "entering blood" of drugs, which further embodies the pertinence and selectivity of drug action. For example, for drugs belonging to the same vein, it is best to distinguish between "entering qi" and "entering blood", which can better reflect the pertinence and selectivity of drug action.
In the mid-Qing Dynasty, Jin Shen 'ao made a comprehensive summary of the meridian tropism of drugs, and collectively referred to the meridian tropism as the names of meridian tropism discussed in herbal books of past dynasties, such as meridian transmission, sound guidance, meridian, entry, movement and meridian tropism. In his book "Essential Drugs and Dispensers", every drug is listed as "meridian tropism". Therefore, most scholars in later generations adopted his formulation. At this point, the theory of drug meridian tropism is basically complete.
Second, the specific methods of drug meridian tropism
Meridian tropism of drugs is a summary of long-term medication practice of doctors in past dynasties. In the process of gradually forming the theory of drug meridian tropism, there are mainly the following methods:
1, according to the theory of five elements.
The meridian tropism of many drugs is determined by the color, taste, performance and five elements of the drug itself. "Nine Treasures of Lingshu" said: "Five flavors enter the liver, pungent into the lungs, bitter into the heart, sweet into the spleen and salty into the kidney." It is mainly based on this theory to determine the meridian tropism of drugs according to the attributes of five elements. For example, the green husk is green, the jujube kernel is sour, and the five elements belong to wood, so they belong to the liver and gallbladder. Adzuki bean is red, Sophora flavescens is bitter, and the five elements belong to fire, so it enters the heart and small intestine. Ginger is yellow, licorice is sweet, and the five elements belong to the spleen and stomach. Almonds are white and fragrant, and the five elements belong to gold, so they enter the lungs and large intestine. Notopterygium root is black, Rhizoma Anemarrhenae fried with salt is salty, and the five elements belong to water, so it belongs to kidney and bladder.
Of course, the meridian tropism according to the theory of five elements is not absolute, but depends on the performance of drugs and the therapeutic effect on viscera and organs. For example, ephedra is yellow, but it does not belong to the spleen meridian. Take its pungent taste to the lung meridian to treat lung diseases. Atractylodes macrocephala is white, but it does not enter the lung meridian. Take its sweet taste to treat spleen diseases and enter the spleen meridian. In a word, the theory of five elements is not the main basis of meridian tropism of drugs, but must be based on the performance and therapeutic effect of drugs.
2. Meridian tropism according to the characteristics of drugs
The meridian tropism of some drugs is determined by the characteristics of the drugs themselves. For example, in combination with the shape of drugs, Lotus Warp looks like a heart, so it belongs to the Heart Meridian. For another example, combined with the texture of the drug, Juncus is frivolous, so it enters the heart and lungs. Magnets are heavy, so they enter the liver and kidney meridians. However, this method is not absolute and only applies to a few drugs.
3. Meridian tropism according to clinical experience.
It is the most commonly used method to determine the meridian tropism of drugs according to clinical practice. Based on the theory of five elements and the characteristics of drugs, it overcomes the shortcomings of meridian tropism, and is completely based on clinical practice, which is the most important method of meridian tropism. For example, almonds and platycodon grandiflorum can relieve asthma and cough, so they enter the lung meridian. Bupleurum and green tangerine peel can soothe the liver and regulate qi, so they enter the liver meridian. Ginger and Pinellia ternata can reduce adverse reactions and stop vomiting, so they enter the stomach meridian. Cinnabar and jujube kernel can soothe the nerves and settle their minds, so they return to the heart meridian. Ephedra and Guizhi are good at understanding the exterior of the sun, so they belong to the sun meridian. Gypsum and Anemarrhena are good at clearing the heat of Yangming, so they belong to Yangming Meridian. In a word, this method is the most widely used and suitable for all drugs commonly used in clinic.
4. Causes of Meridian Tropism
The so-called "etiology meridian tropism" is the basis of meridian tropism in drug treatment of diseases. For example, anthelmintics have the effect of expelling insects or killing insects, but Chinese medicine believes that "insects are born in dampness" and "spleen governs dampness", so most anthelmintics are classified as spleen meridians. For another example, summer evil hurts people, leading to Yangming qi. Therefore, drugs that are good at dispelling summer-heat evil generally belong to the stomach meridian.
5, directional channel tropism
The so-called "directionality" is based on the specific efficacy of certain drugs. These drugs have special selectivity to the viscera and organs to which a meridian belongs, and also have specific functions, which can directly guide the drugs to the diseased site. For example, "the twelve meridians purging fire" is the medicine used for heat syndrome in the twelve meridians's system.
6. Related meridian tropism
Some diseases treated by drugs are related to an organ or a viscera, so meridian tropism is based on the relevant viscera. If you use dipsacus root, it will strengthen the muscles and bones. Because "kidney governs bone" and "liver governs muscle" belong to liver and kidney meridians. Angelica dahurica mainly disperses the pathogenic factors of rheumatism in Yangming meridian, because Yangming meridian belongs to the stomach meridian, so it belongs to the stomach meridian.
Third, the practical value of drug meridian tropism
The theory of drug meridian tropism is based on the five elements theory and meridian theory, and all the commonly used drugs in clinic belong to each meridian, which not only develops the basic theory of pharmacology, but also expands the meridian theory and the clinical application of drugs. Through the meridian tropism of drugs, the properties and therapeutic effects of drugs are systematically summarized, and the pertinence and selectivity of drugs acting on viscera and organs are further clarified, which provides richer pharmaceutical theory and practical experience for clinical treatment based on syndrome differentiation, drug selection, rational prescription formulation and improvement of curative effect. As "The Origin of Medicine" said: "Doctors must first identify the positions of meridians and viscera ... and then choose which meridians and viscera to treat diseases ... It is natural and effective ... If you don't know the meridians, there will be no quick effect."
Before the theory of meridian tropism of drugs was formed, drugs were divided into "four qi and five flavors". "Four Qi" mainly reflects the yin and yang properties of drugs, and "Five Flavors" mainly reflects the taste and efficacy of drugs. Its therapeutic effect is generally a drug for treating diseases. For example, a drug can cure dysentery, malaria, diarrhea, vomiting, headache and hemostasis, but it does not reflect the pertinence and selectivity of the drug to an organ or an organ. For example, Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, Coptis chinensis, Anemarrhena asphodeloides and Akebia Akebia Thunb are bitter and cold medicines, which can clear heat and purge fire. According to the theory of drug attribution, it can be more clear: Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi belongs to lung and large intestine meridian, clearing lung and large intestine fire; Coptis chinensis returns to the heart and stomach meridian, clearing the heart and stomach fire; Anemarrhena asphodeloides belongs to lung and kidney meridian, which purges the fire of lung and kidney; Guan Mutong enters the heart and small intestine meridian and purges the fire of the heart and small intestine. Therefore, through the meridian tropism of drugs, the pertinence and selectivity of drug therapy to viscera and organs are more clear.
Meridian tropism of drugs can guide the processing of drugs. Drug processing is an important part of pharmacology. Appropriate processing methods are of great benefit to the introduction of drugs into menstruation and the improvement of curative effect. For example, Rhizoma Cyperi belongs to the liver meridian. In order to increase the efficacy of soothing the liver and regulating qi, it is often fried with vinegar. For another example, both Astragalus membranaceus and Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch are spleen-strengthening meridians and enter spleen meridians. In order to strengthen the efficacy of invigorating spleen and benefiting qi, they are often roasted with honey, which is called roasted astragalus or roasted licorice. In short, according to the meridian tropism of drugs, after processing, it can not only improve the curative effect, but also directly reach the affected area, which is conducive to improving the therapeutic effect of drugs.
Through meridian tropism, it is convenient for clinical medication. Because the meridian tropism of drugs further clarifies the pertinence and selectivity of drugs, it is convenient for clinical drug selection. For example, Radix Angelicae Dahuricae, Notopterygii Rhizoma, Bupleuri Radix and Evodia rutaecarpa all treat headache, but Radix Angelicae Dahuricae enters Yangming meridian, so Radix Angelicae Dahuricae is selected for Yangming headache. Notopterygium root enters the sun meridian, and the sun has a headache. Choose Notopterygium root; Bupleurum enters shaoyang meridian, so Bupleurum is selected for shaoyang headache; Evodia rutaecarpa enters Jueyin meridian, so Evodia rutaecarpa is selected for Jueyin headache. In the clinical practice of traditional Chinese medicine, the same disease is treated differently or the same disease is treated together. The implementation of these treatments can not be separated from the choice of meridian tropism drugs. If meridian tropism or meridian tropism drugs can be added on the basis of syndrome differentiation, the therapeutic effect can be further improved.
Through drug meridian tropism, the diagnosis and treatment system of "syndrome differentiation and treatment" has been further improved. After the formation of meridian theory, TCM established the basic principle of "syndrome differentiation and treatment" on the basis of "syndrome differentiation of six meridians". Syndrome differentiation and treatment are two important links of TCM theory, method and clinical application of prescriptions and drugs. Among them, the essence of treatment is to treat "syndrome", not just "syndrome". "Syndrome" means syndrome. Syndrome is different from symptoms, but a comprehensive analysis of various symptoms and signs, and a pathological summary of the cause, location, pathological nature of the disease at a certain stage and the contrast between evil and positive. Therefore, the treatment of "syndrome" goes further than the treatment of "syndrome" and must be based on the pertinence and selectivity of drug action. Meridian tropism of drugs is to gradually summarize the pertinence and selectivity of drugs acting on zang-fu organs in long-term practice, and then determine the meridian tropism of drugs according to meridian tropism of zang-fu organs. Therefore, the "meridian tropism" of drugs can further improve the diagnosis and treatment system of "syndrome differentiation and treatment" Such as Mahuang decoction and Guizhi decoction for treating typhoid and taiyang diseases, Lizhong decoction for treating Taiyin diseases, Xiaochaihu decoction for regulating shaoyang, Sinisan for soothing liver and regulating qi, Liuwei Dihuang pill for nourishing kidney yin, etc. They are all prescriptions for treating syndrome.
Fourth, the meridian tropism of commonly used drugs in clinic
Meridian tropism of commonly used drugs in clinic is gradually summed up by doctors of past dynasties in long-term practice. Due to the differences in medication habits and clinical experience of different families, the understanding of drug meridian tropism is also different. The meridian tropism of commonly used drugs in clinic is summarized as follows for clinical reference.

These are the main drugs belonging to "the twelve meridians" and "Qi Jing Ba Mai". Among them, the drugs classified as "the twelve meridians" are mainly based on the meridian tropism of viscera. If the medicine has therapeutic effect on a certain zang-fu organ or a certain zang-fu organ and its tissues and organs, the meridian tropism of the medicine is determined according to the meridian tropism of the zang-fu. "Qi Jing Ba Mai" is incompatible with the internal organs, so the drugs belonging to "Qi Jing Ba Mai" are all organs and tissues that enter the meridians through "Qi Jing". If a drug has therapeutic effect on organs and tissues connected by Qi Jing, it belongs to Qi Jing. For example, drugs that have therapeutic effects on "daughter cells" can be classified as pulsed or pulsed. Drugs with the function of strengthening tendons and bones can enter Du meridian or regulate pulse. There are relatively few organs, tissues and organs belonging to the "strange classics", so there are few drugs belonging to the "strange classics". In short, the meridian tropism of each drug is determined by the therapeutic effect of the drug and the meridian tropism of the zang-fu organs, rather than the therapeutic effect of the drug itself on the meridians. For example, drugs belonging to the lung meridian of hand Taiyin have therapeutic effects on the lung and its tissues and organs, not the meridian of hand Taiyin itself. All drugs belonging to "Qi Jing Ba Mai" have therapeutic effect on organs or tissues and organs belonging to "Qi Jing Ba Mai", but have no therapeutic effect on "Qi Jing Ba Mai" itself. This is the case with the "tropism" of all drugs. If the drug "meridian tropism" is misunderstood as the therapeutic effect of the drug on the meridian itself, it will distort the therapeutic effect of the drug and have no clinical significance at all.
