| Through systematic study, research and compilation of Zhong Jing’s applications of Shanghan Lun principles, specifically those applications pertaining to the diagnosis, treatment, and medication of serious gastrointestinal conditions, the author attempts to highlight the signi-ficance of Zhong Jing’s contributions.The bases of Zhong Jin’s principles for the treatment of astrointestinal conditions were de-rived mainly from the Huangdi Neijing. Zhong Jing’s primary contribution was to apply theories in these classical texts on clinical diagnosis and treatment of such conditions. Zhong Jing’s work is a thorough compilation of all six Imperial Classical Texts. In this research, the author also augments some deficiencies of Zhong Jing’s diagnostic and treatment methods when applied in the present context.It is the intention of the author to further develop Zhong Jing’s principles in the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal conditions. |
