Abstract:
Relativity between prescription and syndrome is a theory of clinical syndrome differentiation by exploring the inherent laws between prescriptions and diseases， and it is also a unique syndrome differentiation thoughts， which is the core and essence of syndrome differentiation and treatment. Relativity between prescription and syndrome was initially recorded in Treatise on Febrile Diseases（《伤寒论》）. Prescriptions include empirical prescription， classic prescription， and current prescription. Syndrome is symptom， but also pathogenesis. Relativity between prescription and syndrome means that the prescription corresponds to pathogenesis. The disease manifests itself differently in different patients， meanwhile the symptom changes at different stages. Therefore， simply applying the original classic prescription cannot better reflect the syndrome differentiation principle of “changing treatment with syndromes”， nor does it solve complex clinical problems. Mastering the principle of relativity between prescription and syndrome can improve the accuracy of the syndrome differentiation and understand the constant changes， thus grasping the core and essence of the syndrome differentiation. The classic prescription and its syndrome have the most fixed relationship， so that the classic prescription can be used as a typical representative to explore the relativity between prescription and syndrome. Based on Treatise on Febrile Diseases， this paper summarized the relativity between prescription and syndrome into nine principles， including using medical classics to classify syndromes， using prescriptions to classify syndromes， focusing on the main syndromes， changing prescriptions when the main syndromes change， changing medicines with syndrome changing， modifying prescriptions according to syndromes， changing dosage according to syndromes， syndrome differentiation according to pulse， and syndrome differentiation according to time. Through analyzing the content in Treatise on Febrile Diseases， this paper described the application of the nine principles to explore the scientific connotation and improve the accuracy of syndrome differentiation， thereby expanding the range of classic prescription applications and providing references for the flexibly application of classic prescriptions and improvement of clinical efficacy.
