证候概念发展轨迹探源

Origination and development of syndrome concept in traditional Chinese medicine

辩证唯物主义认为,概念是随着人类认识深度和广度的增加而逐渐发展的。证候概念的发展亦是如此。隋唐时期,明确了证候概念的内涵,形成了除六经以外的脏腑辨证纲领的雏形。宋金元时期证候内涵的发展,体现在各派医家根据自己的临证经验体悟,在实践基础上进行的理论探索与完善。明清时期,通过建立八纲辨证实现对辨证方法的规范和完善。当代,对于证候概念的发挥,表现为采用现代科学技术手段,从不同层次、不同方面对疾病及其证候进行的客观化研究。

In the opinion of dialectical materialism, concept is developing with the deepening and broadening of human being＇s mind, The developing process of syndrome concept in traditional Chinese medicine also takes the same way. In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the connotation of syndrome concept was defined and the embryonic form of syndrome differentiation of zang-fu viscera was formed. In the Song, Jin and Yuan Dynasties, the development of syndrome concept embodied in optimizing the theoretical research based on clinical practice and experiences according to many medical masters in different denominations. The syndrome differentiation of eight principles was established to standardize and perfect the principles of syndrome differentiation in the Qing Dynasty. Modern research of syndrome concept is manifested in objectifying the process of research of syndrome and diseaes in different levels and aspects by use, of advanced scientific technology.
