ABSTRACT
According to the texts of Baihu Jia Renshen Decoction in the books of Maijing,Qianjin Yaofang,Qianjin Yifang,Taiping Shenghui Fang,Hxin Fang,and Jingui Yuhan Jing,the author drew the following conclusions:Baihu Jia Renshen Decoction in the present Shanghan Lun was very likely the written error Of Baihu Decoction,which was more close to the original meaning of Zhang Zhong-jing.From the period of Sui and Tang Dynasty,doctors had gotten new experiences in their practices.They added Ginsen into Baihu Decoction and named the new decoction"BaihU Jia Renshen Decoction",which was still in use today.Although there was not intrinsically difierence between Baihu Decoction and Baihu Jia Renshen Decoction,while the saying of"adding Renshen or not,should be decided by patient's Yuanqi"by doctor Shu Chi-yuan in Qing Dynasty had a significant impact.The erroneous views by some recent scholars can't be complied with,who advocated that the four main symptoms of Baihu Decoction syndrome should belong to syndrome of Baihu Jia Renshen Decoction according to the original texts in Shanghan Lun.

ABSTRACT
The article made a study on the earliest literature and the initial time of the "Five Orbiculi" theory in TCM. By analyzing the masons for different locations of "Five Orbiculi" recorded in ancient TCM books, the author argued against that the term of "Five Orbiculi" originated from ancient India and the "Five Orbiculi" theory was a product with the combination of traditioinal Chinese and Indian cultures. The author further put forward that the "Five Orbiculi" theory most probably was a Chinese traditional medical innovation under the influence of Internal Classic of Medicine, a great development to the theory recorded in Miraculous Pivot On Serious Confusion.
