A Primary Study on the General Principles of Treatment and the Symptoms System Based on the Four-Season Model in Treatise on Febrile Disease / 浙江中医药大学学报

ABSTRACT

Based on the discuss of Yin-Yang in classics, five states method is reasoned,in which one of the states is indescribable,without no disbalance between Yin and Yang, and the rest could be named by more or less in Yinqi or Yangqi as pathologic states. To state the pathologic states, Zhang Zhongjing had established a six-disease system named by Yin-Yang which benefited from the Four-Season Model in Neijing Bible as reference. Therefore the general principle of treatments and the six-disease system in Treatise on Febrile Disease, such as “the patients in a state of Autumn unbalance sould be treated with cathartic while that in Summer unbalance treated with diaphoretic”, can be easily understood in the Four-Season Model.
