Abstract:
Although the new methods and new ideas have been introduced into researches on modern syndromes, research levels of syndromes have continued to be broadened and deepened gradually. However, understanding of essential theories and general research methods have not yet achieved a broad consensus in TCM field. The phenomenon is caused by the systematic complex features of syndromes, which are difficult to be explained for a short while, and require progressive understanding and development. It is also related to the reason that current main stream researches on syndromes lack general overview and analysis. All of the above lead to the failure of efficient penetration of all syndrome researches and restrict synergetic development among these researches. This article summarized and analyzed the overview of key field of study on syndromes, and expounded their disadvantages and development suggestions, with purposes to improve future syndrome research field, enrich syndrome research methods, and promote necessary penetration of syndrome researches.
