“四关”辨析

Discussion and analysis on point "Siguan"

“四关”最早见于《灵枢·九针十二原》,继《内经》之后,诸代医家有引用“四关”者,并对“四关”一词给予解释。但笔者认为后世医家对“四关”一词的理解都与《内经》原意不符。本文提出对《内经》中“四关”一词的认识以供同道参考,并指出正确理解“四关”一词的含义对治疗五脏病有重要的意义。

Point 'Siguan' is seen in the Miraculous Pivot : Jiuzhen Shieryuan for the first time. From then on the doctors of every dynasties cited point 'Siguan' and explained its content. But the authors hold that their explanations do not conform with the meaning in the Huangdi's Internal Classic. Therefore, the authors put forward their explanations for point 'Siguan' and indicate that correct understanding of point 'Siguan' is very important for treatment of diseases of five-zang organs.
