Abstract:
Based on the Records of the Historian, Biographies of Bianque Canggong and analysis on relative early literature, it is known that "heat in the middle-jiao" can form "oliguria, dark urine" and other symptomes of urine, which was an early medical view and commonly accepted in that time. Affected by this view, the "urine retention due to heat in middle-jiao" appeared in early channel symptoms of the Foot-Jueyin Channel closely related with the urine symptoms. This early channel disease symptoms still was reflected in Plain Questions Zhenyao Jingzhong Lun, Plain Questions Maijie, and Miraculous Pivot Zhongshi. In Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic, "heat in middle-jiao" had became the concept with zang-fu meanings. In Miraculous Pivot Jingmai at being publish ed, because of the influence of obvious differentiation between channels and zang-fu theories, "heat in middle-jiao" was not enrolled in disease symptoms of channels. In the present study, it is indicated that formation of early disease symptoms of channels has quitely wide medical background, if the study of disease symptoms of channels is divorced from this background, it will produce error.
