Abstract:
There was preliminary understanding of the kidney-marrow correlation from the pre-Qin to Han dynasty.Until Wei-Jin and Sui-Tang dynasty,the close relationship between kidney-essence-marrow-bone-blood-brain was gradually realized in terms of the structure and physiological function.There was a new anatomical understanding of marrow in the Song,Jin and Yuan dynasty.The concept of spinal cord was put forward for the first time.There was also the etiology and pathogenesis on kidney marrow related diseases.In the Ming and Qing dynasty,there was in-depth understanding on the kidney-marrow correlation.However,the concept of kidney-marrow system was not clearly proposed.Modern scholars summarized traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theories on kidney stores essence,essence generates marrow,marrow enriches brain,nourishes bone and transfers into blood. Then,the kidney-marrow systemhad begun to take form.It laid a theoretical foundation for the construction of kidney-marrow system..
