The Theoretical Research On The Core Terms Related To The Traditional Chinese Medicine Theory Of“Spleen Dominating Blood Control”

Traditional Chinese medicine theory of spleen visceral manifestation is an important part of the basic theory of TCM.The theory of “spleen dominating transportation and transformation,blood control” constitutes a core of the theory of spleen visceral manifestation.From the Qin and Han to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the theory of “spleen dominating blood control” went through a long process of evolution. The ancient physicians’ understanding of the theory of “ spleen dominating blood control” are not in complete accord,since there are some kind of differences between the time background and academic schools.The connotation of the core terms related to the theory of “spleen dominating blood control”also presents some changes in different periods.Therefore, it is of great significance to the inheritance and development in “spleen dominating blood control” theory,delving into the development of the connotation of the core terms related to the theory of “spleen dominating blood control” and exploring the origin and development of the theory of “spleen dominating blood control” again.Research purposes and main contents:Taking the core terms related to the theory of “spleen dominating blood control” as the main research object, using the ancient medical books as the main research data, and with the help of the research management platform for inheriting and innovating the theory of“spleen dominating transportation and transformation,blood control”,we can make a textual researchon the genesis and the connotation of TCM of the five core terms that are spleen qi,blood,nutrient qi,spleen dominating blood control,spleen housing nutrient,and sort out their origin of the terms, at the same time we can make a textual research on the connotation of the related words such as stomach qi,middle qi,spleen yin,spleen yang,spleen blood,spleen controlling blood,spleen governing containing blood and so on, and sort out the origin on the basis of the “spleen dominating blood control” theory, in order to definite the evolution process of the “spleen dominating blood control” theory,and provide more weathy theoretical basis for the study on the spleen visceral manifestation theory of “spleen dominating transportation and transformation,blood control”.Research methods:Pick out all the words related to the spleen in five standards : The law of the People’s Republic of China national standard·Basic Theory Nomenclature of Traditional Chinese Medicine(China standard press, 2006);Chinese Terms of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Pharmacy(Science Press,2005);The dictionary of the commonly used terms of traditional Chinese medicine(Li Zhenji etc. China press of traditional Chinese medicine, 2001);The example of traditional Chinese medicine(Yuan Zhong etc. Chinese medicine science and technology press, 1995);The dictionary of traditional Chinese medicine(China academy of TCM. People’s medical publishing house, 2004),then pick out the five core terms related to the theory of “spleen dominating blood control”: spleen qi,blood, spleen dominating blood control,nutrient qi,spleen housing nutrient,at the same time pick out some related words such as stomach qi, middle qi,spleen yin,spleen yang,spleen blood,spleen controlling blood,spleen governing containing blood etc.Taking the ancient medical books as the main research data,and with the help of research management platform, summarize,sort,and analyze the information about the core terms and the related words related to the theory of “spleen dominating blood control”, have a clear understanding on the concept connotation and the development origin, in order to provide theoretical support for the study of the theory of“spleen dominating blood control ”.Conclusions:1. The effect of the spleen on the blood is mainly reflected in three aspects :the production, the circulation and the storage of the bloodIn the production of the blood, the spleen can provide essential material for the production of blood--essence of water and grain.Meanwhile the function that the spleen can transport and distribute the essence of water and grain is also necessary conditions for the production of the blood.In the circulation of the blood, the spleen can not only restrict and control the blood in the vessel, but also drive the blood throughout the body.In the storage of the blood, the spleen can store a small amount of blood, and make appropriate adjustment according to the needs of the human body.2. The spleen can affect the blood by the two mechanisms:“spleen- spleen qi(spleen yang, spleen yin)- blood” and “spleen- nutrient qi- blood”Spleen qi is the essential qi stored in the spleen, and it is also the material basis for maintaining the physiological function of spleen. The effect of spleen on the blood depends on the gasification function of the spleen qi.The spleen can house the nutrient.The nutrient qi is generated from the essence of water and grain, and it has the nutritional function which depends on the function that the spleen can transport and distribute the essence of water and grain. The nutrient qi is the intermediate product in the process of the blood formation, and has an indirect effect on the function that the spleen can control the blood.3. The theory of “spleen dominating blood control” has experienced the evolution from “spleen governing containing blood” to “spleen controlling blood” and then to“spleen dominating blood control”The theory of “Spleen dominating blood control” has experienced the evolution from“spleen governing containing blood” to “spleen controlling blood” and then to “spleen dominating blood control” in general,and has successively experienced the evolution fromthe unclear theoretical connotation to the clear one, from the narrow and single connotation to the broad and comprehensive one. It eventually evolved into comprehensive theoretical system line including the spleen producing, pushing, controlling and housing the blood.4. Spleen blood refers to the blood of the spleen(including spleen meridian), and also refers to the blood that the spleen governing. It has the function of nourishing the stomach,the limbs and the orifices, transporting and transforming the water-dampness,and producing the human milk and the sweet white juice of pancreas.
