Abstract:
Based on rethinking the pervious studies influenced by naive reductionism, the essence of TCM syndrome was tried to be explored with systems approach in this paper. It may be regarded as a certain kind of state in which the system reacts to the pathogenic causes, namely, the holistic emergent phenemenon from the viewpoint of systematology.
