Abstract:
[Objective]To explore the time medical thought of WANG Mengying,a Zhejiang traditional Chinese medicine doctor,in the late Qing Dynasty.[Methods]By means of literature research,WANG Mengying's articles related to time were screened and studied,and studying the"constant"and"change"of"time"factors from the perspectives of"according to the time"and"according to the syndrome instead of time",so as to grasp the core content of clinical syndrome differentiation and treatment.[Results]"According to time"and"syndrome focus instead of time"constituted the core content of WANG Mengying's time medicine.When the nature of the disease was consistent with the time factor,WANG believed that it was necessary to follow the time factor,which had two connotations:following the four seasonal rhythm and following the human rhythm.When the nature of the disease syndrome was inconsistent with the time factor,it must abandon the time factor and make treatment from the syndrome.It had three connotations:following the syndrome instead of the four seasonal rhythm,following the syndrome instead of the human rhythm,following the syndrome instead of the five movements and six Qi.[Conclusion]WANG Mengying's discussion on the"time"factor was rich and distinctive.From the perspectives of"according to the time"and"syndrome focus instead of time",WANG discussed the"constant"and"change"in treatment based on syndrome differentiation,it can provide reference for the current diseases diagnosis and treatment,and enrich the academic content of Zhejiang traditional Chinese medicine.
