八纲辨证,疏于上下——阴阳八纲辨证方法构建刍议

Eight-Principle Syndrome Differentiation Omits Upper and Lower Pathogenesis: Humble Opinions for Building Yin-Yang and Eight-Principle Syndrome Differentiation Method

基于八纲辨证形成源流与存在的不足,提出上下病机常见病证,构建"阴阳八纲辨证方法"。认为八纲,即上下、表里、寒热、虚实,上下、表里皆言病位,一纵一横,襄括全身;寒热、虚实皆言病性;阴阳为总纲,阴赅下里寒虚,阳赅上表热实。从而补充完善了现行八纲辨证对"上下"病机的疏漏。

Based on insufficiency of origin, development and existence about eight-principle syndrome differentiation, the author puts forward common diseases and syndromes with upper and lower pathogenesis to build ＂Yin-Yang and eight-principle syndrome differentiation method＂. The author thinks the eight principles, namely, upper-lower,exterior-interior, cold-heat, and deficiency-excess. Both upper-lower and exterior-interior refer to disease location, with one pair being vertical and the other horizontal, covering the whole body. Both cold-heat and deficiency-excess refer to nature of disease. The Yin-Yang is the general principle. Yin includes lower, interior, cold and deficiency. Yang includes upper, exterior, heat and excess. Thereby, this supplemented and improved the omission of the current eight-principle syndrome differentiation to ＂upper and lower＂ pathogenesis.
