Abstract: Objective]To clarify the meaning of the phase“without high fever”in ShangHan Lun. [Method]To sort out the explanation of “without high fever”of interpreters from past to nowadays,then to analyse the scriptures of ShangHanLun and Sypnosis of Golden Chamber that involve“without high fever”,to re-define the exact meaning of the phase. [Result] Two main opinions are found about the explanation of“without high fever”in the past literature:one is “heat is in interior not exterior”,while the other is“exterior syndrome is passed”,Both are not accorded with Zhong Jing’s word expression and the real clinical situation. If “high fever”is explained as“the fever characteristics of Yang-ming disease”,the scripture involved and the meaning of“without high fever”can be thoroughly understood.[Conclusion] “Without high fever”is the phase Zhang-zhong-jing used to differentiate the disease in scripture from Yang-ming visceral substantial syndrome .Clarifying the phase“without high fever”helps us to better understand the meaning of related scriptures.
