Research On Features Of Spleen Related Syndromes In The Peaceful Holy Benevolence Formulae

In the recent several years,studies on origin and development of the syndrome have been paid more and more attention.The syndrome doctrine of The Peaceful Holy Benevolence Formulae plays an important role in the development of the TCM reatment with syndrome differentiation theory.And syndrome differentiation of the Zang-fu organs is quite typical among it.By using traditional literature,theoretical research methods,together with calculating,this research investigates features of spleen syndromes in this book comparing with that in modern times.Meanwhile,the reasons of the features and senses towards the contemporary syndrome doctrine are discussed.By means of this,it reflects its history staged significance in the development of the TCM reatment with syndrome differentiation theory.1 Features of spleen syndromes in The Peaceful Holy Benevolence Formulae comparing with that in modern times1.1 From the view point of syndrome nameIn this part,features of spleen syndromes in this book from the view of syndrome name are discussed,which reflects the subjectivity view points.Therefore,syndrome extraction, syndrome name formation and unification have been done step by step.Then,summarize the features of spleen syndromes comparing with that in modern times.1.1.1 Certain syndromes,which are believed in higher layer in modern times,are seen as concrete ones in this book.It reflects that syndrome names in this book have some conceptualization trails.1.1.2 Modern deficient syndrome are devided into Qi,blood,Yin,Yang and essence deficiency,while there's only qi deficiency in this book which are referred to spleen,spleen and stomach,spleen and lung,spleen and heart,spleen and kidney.1.1.3 There are quite a lot of disorder of spleen Qi,incoordination between the spleen and stomach,disorder of spleen-stomach Qi and so on.But the significance of the "disorder" is not very clear.1.1.4 Some syndrome concepts are not quite clear in this book,which means the connotation of the concepts are not completely sure.1.1.5 From the syndrome ratio:deficiency(260)/excess(303),cold(158)/heat(119),it can be seen that there are more excess syndromes and heat syndromes in this book.And among the excess syndromes,there are only 7 related to "damp",6 related to "sputum",while there are no damp-heat.1.1.6 Among the excess syndromes,there are a large number of exopathogens which invade humans directly.It reflects that exopathic causes are quite important in the pathomechanism of the spleen syndrome.1.1.7 It's believed that cold is connected with deficiency syndromes,while heat with excess ones in this book.1.1.8 It's shown that there are evident features about spleen with other Zang organs.1.2 From the view point of symptomIn this part,three spleen syndromes(syndrome of spleen-stomach Qi deficiency, syndrome of spleen-stomach deficiency-cold,syndrome of spleen-stomach deficiency) which appear the most often in this book are selected.Summary their symptoms,then compare with that in modern times.Therefore,it's shown the objectivity features of the pathomechanism.1.2.1 Each spleen syndrome has its own pathomechanism apparente central tendency.1.2.2 There are significant differences between some syndrome names,yet the symptoms differences are not very clear.1.2.3 Compared with modern syndromes,smptoms about spleen are quite different.1.3 Syndrome feature about the deficiency of Zang-organs(three to seven volumes) in The Peaceful Holy Benevolence FormulaeAs three to seven volumes of this book describes syndromes and treatment of Zang-fu organs,in this part,we discuss the features more deeply.And the separation between theory and experience of the syndrome is its chief characteristic.1.3.1 Compared with modern deficiency,syndromes of the Zang-organs deficiency are quite different:(1) The syndrome name are quite different.(2) The total symptoms are quite different. (2) The total symptoms are quite different.(3)The concrete symptoms are also quite different comparing with modern apprehension.1.3.2 Syndrome features about the deficiency of Zang-organs result from the separation of theory and experience of the syndrome is its chief characteristic.Though the total symptoms are separate,this feature is refected in the same syndromes of the same organ.It's to show in two aspects.2 The reasons of the spleen syndrome features in The Peaceful Holy Benevolence FormulaeThe features induced above are origining from the rudiment of the reatment with syndrome differentiation theory in the beginning of the Song Dynasty.2.1 Because of the rudiment,some syndrome concepts are not quite clear,more excess syndromes and heat syndromes are appeared in this book,there are a large number of exopathogens which invade humans directly,and so on.2.2 The theory and experience in this book have different sources.The former comes from The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic and The General Treatise on the Pathogeneses and Symptoms of All Diseases,while the later is from all effective formulas at that time and before.2.2.1 Though each spleen syndrome has its own pathomechanism apparente central tendency, symptom differences are not quite clear about the syndrome whose names are different obviously.2.2.2 The total symptoms of the Zang-organs deficiency syndromes are separate. But different articles in the same syndromes of the same organ,the ratio between the same and different symptoms is low.And the concrete symptoms are also quite different with modern apprehension.3 The significance of the spleen syndrome feature in The Peaceful Holy Benevolence FormulaeAs its shown above,when we study on the TCM reatment with syndrome differentiation theory,we should: 3.1 own development viewpoint,not look on all traditional data as the same.3.2 own allround viewpoint,not comprehend the ancient syndrome according to the words simply.Instead,we should grasp its connotation by its position in the whole syndrome system(the pathogenisis,the symptom,the prescription,and so on).4 Innovation of the topicThe syndrome system of The Peaceful Holy Benevolence Formulae plays an important role in the development of the TCM reatment with syndrome differentiation theory.So,by studying on the syndrome feature,it can retrieve the theory research deficiency,develop the history of this theory,and provide a model for the syndrome doctrine in modern times.5 Feasibility about the topic5.1 The writing background of the work is quite clear,and the edition is single.5.2 The opinion of the knowledge resource is identify.It's theory is according to The General Treatise on the Pathogeneses and Symptoms of All Diseases,while the concrete syndromes are from all effective formulas at that time and before which are quite abundant.5.3 The Peaceful Holy Benevolence Formulae sums up the medical science before Song Dynasty,which reflects the whole development of the TCM thoroughly(including the syndrome doctrine development).
