Abstract: There were in-depth studies and discussions on phlegm-fluid retention by many physicians at ancient times,among them Zhu Danxi's doctrine of phlegm-fluid retention was the most famous with a considerable influence on later generations.Zhang Jingyue realized the quintessence of Zhu's doctrine and dared to innovate.He put forward his own unique understandings on phlegm-fluid retention combined with his clinical experience and Zhu's doctrine,and had made a tremendous contribution to the development of diagnosis and treatment of phlegm-fluid retention.This paper discusses the exposition about phlegm-fluid retention in Danxi Xinfa (Danxi's Experiential Therapy) and Jingyue Quanshu (Complete Works of Jingyue),and sorts out the similarities and differences between them after comparing and integrating their academic thought and features.The authors hope to get the true essence of doctrine of phlegm-fluid retention and provide guide for treatment of phlegm-fluid retention diseases in clinical practice.
