Abstract:
Taking the theory of zang-qiao （脏窍， viscera and orifices） as the framework， this paper elaborates on the connotation and expression of the holistic concept of zang-qiao. It expounds the concept from two dimensions， which are "integration of viscera and orifices" and "integration of the seven orifices"， and explains the diagnostic and therapeutic approach characterized by "inferring the condition of the viscera through the orifices and conducting comprehensive diagnosis" in the context of ear， nose， pharynx and larynx diseases. Moreover， it explores specific therapeutic strategies for orifice-related diseases in otorhinolaryngology， including treatment of the orifices via viscera， simultaneous treatment of viscera and orifices， and external therapies targeting the orifices， which provides a multidimensional thinking model and practical path for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
