Blood arthralgia is a type of disease with local callousness and even mild pain in the body,caused by a lack of qi and blood,exposure to cold and blocked qi and blood.Modern physicians basically categorize blood arthralgia as a kind of arthralgia.Consumptive disease is a type of chronic debilitating disease with weak yin and yang,qi and blood in viscera due to a variety of causes.In modern medical studies,all kinds of acute or chronic diseases can be attributed to consumptive disease.Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases by Zhang Zhongjing was the first to propose the concepts of blood arthralgia and consumptive disease.Meanwhile,the Treatise also put forward relevant prescriptions,to provide therapies and principles for later generations to cure blood arthralgia and consumptive disease.Objective: By summarizing syndromes and treatment rules for blood arthralgia and consumptive disease in Essential Prescriptions from the Golden Cabinet and the use of relevant tonifying methods,as well as rules obeyed by later physicians to cure blood arthralgia and consumptive disease and the use of relevant prescriptions,our study attempts to compare and analyze their relationship and determine the influence of Essential Prescriptions from the Golden Cabinet: Pulse and Symptom Treatment of Blood Arthralgia and Consumptive Disease on later generations' tonifying methods.Methodology: Based on philological approaches,by collecting,sorting out and studying relevant literatures,syndromes and treatment rules for blood arthralgia and consumptive disease in Essential Prescriptions from the Golden Cabinet were summarized.The use of tonifying methods to cure blood arthralgia and consumptive disease in Essential Prescriptions from the Golden Cabinet was obtained.Syndromes and treatment rules obeyed by later physicians to cure blood arthralgia and consumptive disease were analyzed and summed up.Later physicians' inheritance and development of syndromes and treatment rules for blood arthralgia and consumptive disease in Essential Prescriptions from the Golden Cabinet,especially specific applications of tonifying methods were explored.It was revealed that Essential Prescriptions from the Golden Cabinet: Pulse and Symptom Treatment of Blood Arthralgia and Consumptive Disease had a guiding significance and influence on later physicians' treatment of blood arthralgia and consumptive disease using tonifying methods.Results: The treatment rules for blood arthralgia and consumptive disease in Essential Prescriptions from the Golden Cabinet: Pulse and Symptom Treatment of Blood Arthralgia and Consumptive Disease play a guiding role in later physicians' treatment of blood arthralgia and consumptive disease.Later physicians made further development and innovation,while inheriting the use of relevant tonifying methods in Essential Prescriptions from the Golden Cabinet: Pulse and Symptom Treatment of Blood Arthralgia and Consumptive Disease by Zhang Zhongjing.Till the Ming and Qing Dynasties,the treatment of blood arthralgia and consumptive disease formed a mature dialectical therapeutic system.Conclusion: The treatment of blood arthralgia and consumptive disease in Essential Prescriptions from the Golden Cabinet: Pulse and Symptom Treatment of Blood Arthralgia and Consumptive Disease by Zhang Zhongjing has a far-reaching influence on later physicians' treatment of relevant diseases,especially the use of tonifying methods.When treating blood arthralgia and consumptive disease,later physicians basically inherited Zhang Zhongjing's treatment rules for blood arthralgia and consumptive disease,especially the use of tonifying methods.In a word,Essential Prescriptions from the Golden Cabinet: Pulse and Symptom Treatment of Blood Arthralgia and Consumptive Disease has an important guiding and constructive impact on later physicians' use of tonifying methods for blood arthralgia and consumptive disease. |
