Professor Liu Duzhou Side Card Dialectical Method

Professor Liu Duzhou is a great master in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) field atpresent age. He is not only a theoretician and clinic specialist, but also an educationalist. Hischaracteristics of being precise in pursuing his studies, his developing and contribution toZhongjing theory, and his noble virtue as a doctor, his consummate leechcraft, rich experience,unique academic ideas and theories, effective clinic therapeutic experience, are in deed models forlater generations. Those should be studied by heart, be grasped particularly, and be researchedthoroughly. Now, this article specially selects his prescription and syndrome differentiationmethods to study and research. Theory of prescription and syndrome differentiation is an academic theory brought forwardby Mr. Liu, based on preceding people's conception on prescription and syndromes. Mr. Liu is agreat master on classic prescription in modern society. He spares no effort in researching onShang Han Lun. He believes that to adopt traditional prescription in modern age, it is a must forthese prescriptions to have great curative effect in clinic, while the prescriptions in Shang HanLun may be in accordance with modern people's requirements. However, whether a doctor mayappropriately exert the prescriptions in Shang Han Lun during selecting medicine for clinicsyndromes, the key is whether the syndrome differentiation is accurate. Therefore, Mr. Liuemphasized again that the importance of prescription and syndrome differentiation theory is toclosely combine clinic syndrome differentiation and prescription in Shang Han Lun, so that itmay achieve a good effect in clinic syndrome. Thereby, it is important to succeed theory ofpreceding people, then to exert undeveloped theory of preceding people, in order to do one'sdevoir on developing TCM. The advocating of research on prescription and syndromedifferentiation is actually an investigation which associates theory with clinic reality. This project puts up the literature arrangement aimed at prescription and syndromedifferentiation theory. It takes measures as reading over all relevant treatises, broadly adoptingtheories from various genres, taking textual researched on its headstream, resolving themechanism, and probing into Mr. Liu's theory and laws of relativity on prescription andsyndromes, seeking for relevant academic issues and clinic exertion of theories. Throughthoroughly grasping and researching on prescription and syndrome differentiation theory, it is notonly propitious to recognize clinic applying mechanism of Shang Han Lun, propitious torecognize the clinic effect of close combination of syndrome differentiation theory andprescription and medicine in TCM, but also is helpful to understand some relevant pre-clinicmedical issues, is propitious to clinic exertion, is beneficial to train clinic doctors with high skills.Finally, through this research, one may clearly understand the developing direction of prescriptionapplication in clinic syndrome differentiation of TCM.The text of this article is comprehensive research on prescription and syndromedifferentiation theory. At first, it discusses the origin of prescription and syndrome. Shang HanLun, written by Zhongjing Zhang, rooted in Ying Yi's Tangye Jing. Therefore, to penetratethrough the wall of Shang Han Lun, it is a must to enter from the gate of prescription andsyndrome. Zhongjing Zhang had a unique and original way of thought. He subtly kneaded theoryand thoughtway of syndrome differentiation as well as comparing species. He implanted a worddifferentiation at the connection of syndrome and prescription. Because of the worddifferentiation, it endows vital force to both syndrome and prescription. This is just the origin ofprescription and syndrome. It is also the beginning of syndrome differentiation in TCM. AfterSimiao Sun, in Tang Dynasty, advocated innovation method of relativity of prescription andsyndrome, Jiyidongdong, a medicine specialist belongs to ancient prescription school in JianghuPeriod of Japan wrote a work Leiju Fang, it is form...
