论皮纹络脉诊法

Discussion on dermatoglyphic and collateral diagnosis

皮纹络脉诊法是一门古老而又新兴的学科,早在二千多年前的《黄帝内经》就已经意识到皮肤纹理对于临床诊断具有重要意义,并开始逐步运用到临床之中。中国是皮纹络脉诊法的发源地,也是最早将皮纹络脉理论运用到医学诊断的国家,最晚到唐代已经在全球范围内流传。四肢部位的皮纹络脉在临床中便于医者观察与判断,所以到宋代皮纹络脉诊法应用于小儿,并创立小儿指纹诊法。文章尝试运用中医原理阐释四肢皮纹络脉诊法的客观性,以期为中医临床诊断的标准化与客观化提供新的诊疗思路。

The diagnosis of dermatoglyphics and collateral is an old and new discipline. As early as more than two thousand years ago, Huangdi Neijing has already realized that skin texture is of great significance for clinical diagnosis and has gradually been applied to clinical practice. China is the birthplace of the diagnosis of the dermatoglyphics and collateral, and it is also the first country to apply the theory to the medical diagnosis. At the latest in the Tang dynasty, it has been spread around the world. The dermatoglyphics and collateral in the extremities are easy for medical practitioners to observe and judge in the clinic. Therefore, in the Song dynasty, the dermatoglyphic diagnosis was applied to children and the children＇s fingerprints were created. This article attempts to explain the objectivity of the diagnosis by the theory of traditional Chinese medicine. It has provided a new way of diagnosis and treatment for the standardization and objectivity of clinical diagnosis of traditional Chinese medicine.
