Abstract:
The study of classical prescriptions should probe into not only the history but also the formation methodology. As a representative of the logic thoughts in ancient China, the class concept has gone through long history, with the theoretical system completed by Biemo in the late Warring States period. The Mohist school, proposing the class concept, plays an important role in the history of Chinese logic and world logic, and its theory has also been inherited and developed by scholars of the same era and later generations. The study of the class concept will contribute to the integration of scientific methodologies between the east and the west. Exploring the impact of the class concept on traditional Chinese medicine(TCM), especially the application in classical prescriptions, may be a path worth exploring for further studying the thought of the Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases(Shang Han Za Bing Lun).
