摘要
Based on the theory of latency system and dominance system and the analytical methods of the four forms and five stages in the development of a disease, this article is to explore the regularity of the five basic patterns of a syndrome to explain the mechanism of its occurrence and development. Different patterns of a syndrome suggest different areas affected and symptoms of a disease. Therefore, different treating principles and prescriptions should be adopted, i.e., 'treating the same syndrome with different methods'.
