Abstract:
The current classification methods for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) visceral syndrome differentiation suffer from excessive generalization, which hinders their clinical application. Based on the analysis of the pattern of "one syndrome corresponding to multiple formulas", this paper focused on the principle of syndrome-formula correspondence, and proposed that formula-syndromes are the smallest units for refining visceral syndromes. By establishing the correspondence between formula-syndromes and visceral syndromes, this study aims to further clarify the refined categories of syndromes and their treatment patterns, providing a new perspective for the standardization and objectification of TCM syndromes.
