Study On The Use Of The Meridian Theory In The Ancient "Medicinal Herb's Meridian Tropism"

Acupuncture meridian theory, an important part of Chinese medicine theory, not only guide clinical practice, but also guide other branches of clinical medicine from different degrees, and pays attention by doctors. Meridian tropism theory is a theoric method to guide the administration of a meridian.The method and content of classifying drugs contains the understanding of previous knowledge of the meridian. From acupuncture research perspective, studying the application of meridians in meridian tropism, and the formation and effective factor of this method, it can make people comprehensively demonstrate the theory of meridians, deepen the known of meridians, and expand the scope of the study of meridians. At the same time, it is also an important aspect in understanding the theory of TCM.Previous studies on the drug meridial distribution mostly relied on a view from pharmaceutical,and the researches focused entirely on the effectiveness of the traditional Chinese medicine;however, for the acupuncture field, the drug meridial distribution was also considered to the pharmaceutical research. So nothing was researched on the understanding of the meridian theory related to ancient pharmaceuticals, which caused not to comprehensively know the connotation and theory of meridian.The purpose of this study is:to understand meridial thory the ancients considered in the method of drug meridial distribution.and it provide a more broad based perspective and literature for in-depth understanding and correctly interpreting the meridian theory.So, the limit of literature relating to drug was up to Qing Dynasty, mainly the literatures from herbal Jin and Yuan to the Qing Dynasty, and from the Tang Dynasty, Song Dynasty and previous literature about meridian syndrome differentiation.This study mainly based on the literatures, medical history,and theory research methods. From the perspective of the literature, medicine and background, the keys to the reseach was acupuncture on basis of drug meridian, and to disscuss the application and deep understanding of drug meridian by comparative analysis. The paper mainly contained three parts:1.The ancient "medicinal herb's meridian tropism" the main documents and MethodsCorrelation based on three major ancient Chinese medicine Shi Yubu analysis, understanding the relationship between the meridian and drug use: Back in "Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing" a book of the times, organs and meridians have been used to express the awareness part of drug efficacy indications. Eastern Han Dynasty, "zabzabinglun" Tang "Prescriptions", "Qian Jin Yi Fang" and other works by both established medication system is still great importance attaches great importance to the significance of the meridian, which is owned by the later formation of drugs have far-reaching the potential impact.Song "and the agent the Council" "Syndrome of Materia Medica," "Ben Cao Yan Yi" and "pediatric drug card straight tactic" in the efficacy of using prescription meridian general phenomenon has emerged, although the majority still use on the meridians general, but has begun to refine, such as yang, full of Yin Meridian, concrete, such as kidney, the bladder, lung, spleen and liver, etc., and a "gas organs-organs by" such other agents and related drugs expression of the role of the meridians. Zhang Jin and Yuan physician clinical drug Speaking of hidden elements separated from the meridian as the moment, the view that "drug owned by the" possession, as the meridian system is based on differentiation, induction pathogenesis from that meridian theory with the effectiveness of the drug are classified attending thought, was later a number of physicians attached great importance to and developed further summarized and eventually become specialized medicinal theory. Expelling his disciples, to the theoretical core of the spleen and stomach, with the meridians affect the function of other organs, the direct application of meridian theory outlined prescription indications, in accordance with the air intake and the people welcome contrast pulse points "after" medication. Wang Hao Zhang ancient modeled elements and Expelling those written by the academic heritage features in its "Herbal Decoction" in more than can be reflected in the "meridian tropism" of success than Zhang element is obvious, for more drugs with the three Yin Sanyang and 12, in turn, summarized to elaborate on these drugs go through awareness, to reflect its use in traditional Chinese medicine meridian theory in understanding the extent and use them.Ming and Qing Dynasties, "Yu-machine micro-justice" in order to locate meridians prescription indications, better reflects the "Prescription Meridian" and "Drugs go through" the interaction between. "Silver Sea subtle" under "5 8 profiles Doctrine" and Tong Shen sizing for drugs and other eye characteristics theory, emphasis on "eye for the essence of the five internal organs, one of the to line" understanding of, and established on the basis of this understanding The treatment of the body through the conditioning used to treat eye diseases, herbs, meridian theory for understanding the use of clinical features in the eye has a value can not be ignored. Ye Tianshi in its many years of clinical practice, formed its own unique "drugs go over" the theory of collateral disease clinics. Shen Jin Ao for the first time to "go after" as a medicinal term up to, and summarizes the book discusses the ancient herbal owned by the content, "cited by", "Wizard", "walking", "into", "Walk" "return" and other terms referred to as "Meridian", further blurring the previous meridian concept. "Get with herbal medicine," drugs classified in the existence of "extraordinary meridian" and return "twelve" and many other passages of cognitive style, suggesting the application of Chinese meridian theory in the clinical syndrome election time for drugs, physicians focus on theoretical thinking in different point of view different will lead to different understanding. XU Da-chun meridian theory in the application of the time, mainly along the Zhongjing three Yin Sanyang awareness of the disease, will pass the meridian as a change of position by the evil, for an overview of the disease stage, and then prepare for the election administration side. Wang Qing Ren by anatomical evidence, to correct the ancients for the understanding of errors and contradictions meridians, meridian theory has its unique understanding of the creation of the recipe much, has a very wide application, reflecting its unique understanding of the meridian theory and application Methods. Package in accordance with the first hand-foot-3 Yinsan Yang Cheng organs by (including ceded Hand Shao Yin Kidney Meridian Gate of Life) on the main trends of drugs are classified, and then blindly drugs for each hand and in accordance with the nature of taste, into the organs and the efficacy of the overview, from the drugs "go after" and "go dirty," combined with the meridian system and organs, the main effect of drug medicinal characteristics of theoretical exploration, the process solves the drugs go through the process of development from its creation in Meridian return dirty and there has been confusion between the fuzzy state, we should say is a form of meridian theory, and their organs will be widely applied to drug classification outlined in a more rational thinking, this method does to some extent, reflects the physician was importance in clinical medicine meridian theory to guide the thinking of a similar combination of his contemporaries can be "divided by the herbal medicine." Zhang Lufeng conjunction with our own clinical practice, in addition to 12 combined with the five internal organs other than the five elements gossip, but also at the same time pay more attention to the liver and the theory of Yin and Yang Ying and Wei Qi and blood and treatment based on movements for Zhongjing Six has taken the meridians and the yin and yang, exterior and interior points the method of combining the Department of understanding, to some extent strengthened the meridian theory of viscera of the overall relationship. "Throat secret" embodied in the "Prescriptions go through" the use of the meridian theory, mainly in four prescriptions for the attribution of the meridian above the pole with throat clinical representative. Mo spring mechanism of drug action from the consideration of "Drugs go through," questioned the concept, stressing that "soup liquid treatment, odor, regardless of the meridian points, and the needle big differences" in the "Research by the words," There was no recognition of drug meridian theory and put forth some reasons, these reasons still exist, worth considering. Zhou Yan ownership of the drug by proper interpretation of the meridian speculative, and some background knowledge is limited although there are far-fetched, it nevertheless still reflects the period of westernization, traditional meridian theory for a better understanding of experience.2. Drugs classified by the formation of factorsBy Don ago, Song Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties such as Chinese history, three main different times and different drugs classified by the physician after the formation of an association between the comparative analysis of academic thought, summed up "drugs go through" meridians used in the main influencing factors include:"Treatise on" "Six," the use of proof is inspired by prescription; prescription meridian tropism for the formation of drugs; special background effects; inspiration meridian acupoints four major factors.3. Meridian and the meridian theory of understanding of the use of methodsThus the ancient physicians used the drug in the meridian theory of clinical methods, mainly from four aspects were discussed:the classic meridian tropism and disease signs as the basis for description of drug action-by blood, in turn, side relationship between the corresponding organs and meridians permits inference, and the introduction of meaning and cited by the drug-tested and so on.Owned by the drug, as reflected in the meridian theory of knowledge, mainly from the drugs and the "Department of organs," the relationship between the use and understanding of the kidneys, the relationship between the understanding of meridians and organs be analyzed from three perspectives.In short, the meridian theory and drug use relationship, in the early days used in square card, drug card of the above, the drug owned by the emergence reflects the clinical application of meridian theory in the new value of the above. In the past for drugs go through, "after" knowledge, mostly based on the theory of isolated organs and meridians the basis of comparison up, inevitably produce drugs "go after" and "go dirty," Debate, the return of drugs by, no longer based entirely on the meridian and the main symptom site.
