The relationship between Chinese medicine concoction and meridianization

The "attribution" of drugs in Chinese medicine is a summary of the experience of the long-term practice of medication by successive generations of doctors. According to the category of discipline, it is part of traditional Chinese medicine. However, the drug "to the meridian" involves "meridian" and viscera, can reflect the "meridian" and visceral tissue and organs of the relationship between the role of meridian theory can also be reflected. Through the drug "to the meridian" specific methods and specific content, it can be fully explained, the drug "to the meridian" and the internal organs and tissues "to the meridian" are to "Meridian" as a reasoning tool, meridian theory is not only a specific scientific methodology for the study of human physiology and pathology, but also can be used for pharmacological research. In the field of pharmacological research, the drug "to the meridian", based solely on the therapeutic effect of the drug on the organs and tissues of the organs, rather than the drug on the "meridian" itself has a therapeutic effect, meridian theory is purely for the study of pharmacological research to provide rationale tools and methodology.

Under the guidance of the meridian theory, the Chinese medicine of the body's internal organs and tissues and organs are categorized as "meridian", each "meridian" have belonged to the internal organs or tissues and organs, so according to the therapeutic effect of the drug on the internal organs and tissues and organs, you can determine the drug's "Meridian". The specific method is to summarize and summarize the therapeutic effects of commonly used clinical drugs on internal organs and tissues, and then, according to the internal organs and tissues and organs of the "meridian" to determine the drug to the "meridian", so as to make more clear the positioning of the role of drugs and tendency, highlighting the role of drug therapy The role of targeted and selective, to facilitate clinical application. If a certain drug on a viscera and organs of the disease with targeted or selective, therapeutic effect is significant, it can be in accordance with the viscera and organs of the "meridian" to determine the return of drugs to the "meridian". For example, ephedra, almonds, Platycodon grandiflorus is good at treating lung disease, are attributed to the lung meridian; Cangzhu, thick park, sand nuts are good at regulating the spleen and stomach, both to the spleen meridian and the stomach meridian. For example, Fubenzi can cure enuresis, the disease is in the bladder, belongs to the kidney loss of qi, so it goes to the kidney meridian. Each drug "to the meridian", are based on the therapeutic effect of drugs on organs or tissues summarized. This means that the human body must first organs and tissues to the "meridian", and then, according to the therapeutic effect of drugs on organs and tissues to determine the return of drugs to the meridian. And, the internal organs and tissues of the "meridian" and the drug "meridian", are to "meridian" as a rationale tool. The body's internal organs and tissues and organs "to the meridian", mainly to explain the physiology and pathology, to guide the diagnosis and treatment. The commonly used clinical drugs "meridian", in order to make clearer the positioning and tendency of drug action, highlighting the targeting and selectivity of drug action, to facilitate clinical application. Therefore, the meridian theory of physiology, pathology, diagnostics, therapeutics and traditional Chinese medicine have a guiding role.

I, the historical overview of the drug meridian

The discovery and application of traditional Chinese medicine and the development of traditional Chinese medicine, as in the development of Chinese medicine, has gone through a long historical period of practice.

The theory of the attribution of drugs to the meridian was gradually formed after the Neijing, but there was already a germ in the Neijing. For example, "Suwen - Xuanming five qi chapter" has "five flavors into the sour into the liver, pungent into the lungs, bitter into the heart, salty into the kidneys, sweet into the spleen, it is called the five into the" record. Spiritual Pivot - Nine Needle Theory" also has "Acid goes to the tendons, Xin goes to the gas, Bitter goes to the blood, salty goes to the bones, Gan goes to the flesh, is called five go" records. These records show that, although the "Neijing" did not explicitly put forward the drug to the meridian, but has been summarized according to the taste of the drug medication law, for later generations to form the theory of drug to the meridian, laid the foundation.

The end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Zhongjing wrote "Typhoid Miscellaneous Diseases", using the "six meridians" to summarize the intricate clinical manifestations of external cold and typhoid, summarized as "six meridians", each "meridian" symptoms, all the symptoms are "six meridians", "six meridians", "six meridians", "six meridians", and "six meridians". The "six meridians" summarize the intricate clinical manifestations of exogenous cold and typhoid diseases, which are summarized as the "six meridians".

Early herbal works, such as the "Shennong Materia Medica", the performance and therapeutic role of drugs, most of the main treatment of diseases, such as, Changshan anti-malaria, Huanglian treatment of dysentery, neem seeds to expel worms, ephedra asthma, Angelica sinensis to regulate menstruation, Colla Corii Asini, aconite to stop bleeding, aconite to relieve pain, etc., the role of drugs combined with the internal organs of the discussion is still very little, such as "the five stone fat with the five colors of the five complement the five viscera ". Tang, the Song dynasty herbs, the performance of drugs and therapeutic effects and internal organs combined with the increasing number of exposition, such as a drug "tonic lungs", a drug "beneficial to the spleen", a drug "peace of mind" and so on. Kou Zongshuang of the Northern Song Dynasty, when discussing the efficacy of diarrhea, there has been a "cited to the kidney meridian" statement. This shows that the Northern Song Dynasty, clearly put forward the concept of "return to the meridian".

Jin Yuan era, with the development of medicine, promote the study of pharmacology. Famous physician Zhang Element on the four qi, five flavors, lift and sink and tonic and diarrhea of drugs, etc., made a comprehensive explanation. Jin Taizong (equivalent to the Southern Song Dynasty Xuanhe 5 years - Duanping 3 years) wrote the book "Pearl Capsule", the book was the first to create the doctrine of drug attribution. In this book, almost every medicine has the records of "attributing to the meridian" and "inducing the meridian". And it is believed that, according to the performance and therapeutic effect of the drug and each to its meridian, the therapeutic effect will be more significant. If the attribution to the meridian is not clear, it will be difficult to obtain a definite effect if the drug is not targeted. Zhang Element's creation of drug attribution to the meridian, as well as the introduction of the meridian, so that drugs and other sayings, further enrich the theory of drug attribution to the meridian, the prescription of medicines is indeed very helpful. Li Shizhen once highly praised him and thought that he "greatly promoted the theory of medicine, and under Lingsu, he was only one person." Moreover, both Li Dongyuan and Wang Haogu particularly respected Zhang's theory of meridian categorization. For example, Wang Hao Gu wrote "Tang Liquid Materia Medica", which discussed 81 kinds of medicines that were attributed to the meridian. History shows that in the Jin-Yuan era, the prevalence of drugs attributed to the meridian.

To the Ming Dynasty, drug attributed to the meridian has become the books of materia medica specialized entries, such as Liu Wentai compiled "Materia Medica Pinhui Essentials", the discussion of each kind of drugs are set up 24 entries, which, dedicated to the "go to what the meridian" a clear indication of the attribution of the drug to the meridian. The Compendium of Materia Medica not only inherited all the previous meridian content, but also the drug "into the qi branch", "into the blood branch" have a more detailed discussion, further reflecting the role of drugs targeted and selective. For example, if the same drug is used in a certain meridian, it can be differentiated into "qi" or "blood", which can better reflect the specificity and selectivity of the drug's action.

In the middle of the Qing Dynasty, Shen Jin'ao made a more comprehensive summary of drug attribution to the meridian, and put the names of all generations of materia medica in the discussion of attribution to the meridian, such as "citing the meridian", "ringing the guide", "line the meridian", "into the meridian", "into the meridian", "into the meridian" and "into the meridian". ", "into", "go", "return" and other terms, collectively referred to as "return to the meridians ". In his book "Essential Medicines", every kind of medicine was listed as "Returning Meridian". As a result, most scholars in later generations adopted this method of his. At this point, the theory of drug categorization, basically tends to be complete.

Two, the specific method of drug attribution

Drug attribution is the summary of the experience of generations of medical practitioners of the long-term practice of medication, in the process of drug attribution theory, there are mainly the following methods:

1, according to the theory of the five elements of the attribution of meridian

Many drugs attributed to meridian is based on the drug's own color, taste, performance, according to the attributes of the five elements of the determination. The Spiritual Pivot - Nine Needles says: "The five flavors enter, sour into the liver, pungent into the lungs, bitter into the heart, sweet into the spleen, salty into the kidneys." Determining the attribution of drugs according to the attributes of the five elements is mainly based on this theory. For example, green skin color green, sour jujube kernel acid, the five elements are wood, so the liver, gallbladder meridian. Red bean color red, bitter ginseng taste bitter, the five elements are fire, so the heart, small intestine meridian. Ginger is yellow in color and licorice is sweet in taste. All five elements belong to earth, so it goes to the spleen and stomach meridians. Almonds are white in color and pungent in wood flavor. They belong to the five elements: gold, so they go to the lung and large intestine meridians. Qiangcao color black, salt fried Zhimu taste salty, the five elements are water, so the kidney, bladder meridian.

Of course, according to the theory of the five elements of the meridian is not absolute, still need to be based on the performance of the drug and the therapeutic effect on the internal organs and tissues. For example, hemp yellow yellow, but not to the spleen meridian, but to take its flavor pungent good treatment of lung lesions and the lung meridian. Atractylodis Macrocephalae is white in color, but does not enter the lung meridian, but takes its taste as sweet and good for treating spleen lesions and goes to the spleen meridian. In short, the theory of the five elements is not the main basis for the classification of drugs into the meridian, but must be based on the performance and therapeutic effect of the drug.

2, according to the characteristics of the drug attributed to the meridian

Some drugs attributed to the meridian is combined with the characteristics of the drug itself to determine. For example, in combination with the shape of the drug, the shape of the lotus buckle is quite similar to the heart, so the heart meridian. Another example is the combination of the texture of the drug, the lampblack is frivolous, so the heart and lung meridian. Magnetite is heavy, so it goes to the liver and kidney meridians. However, this method is not absolute, only applies to a small number of drugs.

3, according to the clinical practice experience to the meridian

Based on clinical practice to determine the attribution of drugs to the meridian, is the most commonly used method of attribution. It overcomes the shortcomings of the five elements theory and the characteristics of the drug attribution method, and is completely based on clinical practice, so it is the most important attribution method. For example, almonds and Platycodon grandiflorus can calm asthma and relieve cough, so they are categorized into the lung meridian. Chaihu, Qingpi can dredge the liver and regulate qi, so it goes to the liver meridian. Ginger and Pinellia can reduce rebelliousness and stop vomiting, so it goes to the stomach meridian. Cinnabar and jujube kernel can calm the mind, so it goes to the Heart meridian. Ephedra and Gui Zhi are good at relieving the surface of the Sun, so they go to the Sun meridian. Gypsum, Zhimu is good at clearing the heat of yangming, so it goes to the yangming meridian. In short, this method has the widest scope of application, all clinically used drugs, are applicable to this method of meridian.

4, the cause of the meridian method

The so-called "cause of the meridian method", is to the drug treatment of the disease because of the drug to the meridian basis. Such as anthelmintic drugs, with the efficacy of insect repellent or insecticide, but Chinese medicine believes that "insects due to dampness", "the spleen is the master of dampness", so most of the anthelmintic drugs are classified as the spleen meridian. Another example, the summer evil hurt, directly violated the yangming qi, so the good summer evil drugs, generally belong to the stomach meridian.

5, directed to the meridian method

The so-called "directed to the method", is based on the specific effects of certain drugs for the drugs to the meridian. Such drugs on a "meridian" belongs to the organs and tissues of the organs with special selectivity, and, there are specific effects, can lead the drugs directly to the disease. For example, the "twelve meridians diarrhea fire medicine", it is for the twelve meridians belonging to the system of heat and the use of drugs.

6, related to the meridian method

Some of the drugs to treat the disease, and a viscera or viscera related, according to the relevant viscera meridian. Such as the continuation of the bone, there is a continuation of the function of the bones, because the "kidney main bone", "liver main tendon", so, to the liver, kidney two meridians; Angelica dahurica main scattering Yangming meridian wind and dampness of the evil, because Yangming meridian is subordinate to the stomach, so the gastric meridian.

Third, the practical value of drugs to the meridian

The theory of drugs to the meridian theory and meridian theory as a methodology, the drugs commonly used in the clinic are attributed to the "meridian", not only the development of the basic theory of pharmacology, but also to expand the meridian theory and the clinical application of drugs. Through the drug meridian, the performance and therapeutic effects of drugs are systematically summarized, and the targeting and selectivity of drug effects on internal organs and tissues are further clarified, which provides richer pharmacological theories and practical experiences for clinical diagnosis and treatment, selection of medicines, rational formulation, and improvement of therapeutic efficacy. As the "source and flow of medicine," said: "the treatment of disease, must first be divided into meridians, organs where ...... and then choose what meridians, what organs on the disease of the medicine and treatment of ...... natural effects carry forward ... ...I do not know the meridians and medicine, there will be no quick results."

Before the formation of the theory of drug attribution to the meridian, the drug only "four qi and five flavors" of the points. The "four qi" mainly reflects the yin and yang properties of drugs, "five flavors" mainly reflects the flavor and efficacy of drugs. Its therapeutic effect is generally a drug for a disease. Such as a drug for dysentery, a drug for malaria, a drug for leakage, a drug to stop vomiting, a drug to stop headache, a drug to stop bleeding, etc., but did not reflect the drug on a viscera or a viscera, as well as a certain tissue or an organ targeted and selective. For example, Scutellaria baicalensis, Huanglian, Zhimu and Mutong are all bitter and cold medicines, all of which can clear heat and diarrhea. According to the theory of drug categorization, it can be more clear: Scutellaria baicalensis belongs to the lung and large intestine meridian, clearing the fire of lung and large intestine; Huang Huanglian belongs to the heart and stomach meridian, clearing the fire of heart and stomach; Zhimu belongs to the lung and kidney meridian, diarrheal lung and kidney fire; Mutong belongs to the heart and small intestine meridian, diarrhea of the heart and small intestine fire. Therefore, through the drug attributed to the meridian, more clear drug therapeutic effect on the viscera tissue organs targeted and selective.

Through the drug categorization, can guide the processing of the drug concoction. Drug concoctions, is an important part of pharmacology. Processing and concocting method is appropriate, the introduction of medicine into the meridian, improve the efficacy, have great benefits. For example, Xiangshou belongs to the liver meridian, in order to increase its efficacy of liver and qi, often fried with vinegar. Another example, astragalus, licorice is a good spleen meridian, the spleen meridian, in order to strengthen the effectiveness of the spleen and qi, often honey-roasted, known as roasted astragalus or roasted licorice. In short, according to the drug meridian, after processing and concocting, can improve the efficacy, but also directly to the disease, is conducive to improve the therapeutic effect of drugs.

Through the categorization of drugs, it is easy to choose drugs. As the drug categorization further clarifies the targeting and selectivity of the drug, so it is easy to choose the medicine. For example, Angelica dahurica, Qiangwu, Chaihu, Wu Juju are headache, but Angelica dahurica into the yangming meridian, so yangming headache choose Angelica dahurica; Qiangwu into the sun meridian, so the sun headache choose Qiangwu; Chaihu into the shaoyang meridian, so shaoyang headache choose Chaihu; Wu Juju into the syncopated yin meridian, so the syncopated yin headache choose Wu Juju. In Chinese medicine, there are different treatments for the same disease or different treatments for the same disease, and the implementation of these treatments can not be separated from the selection of different medicines for different meridians, such as in the identification of the basis of the addition of the meridian or meridian-inducing medicines, which can further improve the therapeutic effect.

The use of drugs for meridians further improves the diagnostic and treatment system of "diagnosis and treatment". After the formation of the theory of meridians and collaterals, on the basis of the "six meridians", Chinese medicine has established the basic principle of "identification and treatment". Identification and treatment are two important links in the clinical application of Chinese medicine's principles, methods, prescriptions and medicines. Among them, the essence of treatment is to treat the "evidence", not just the "symptoms" of the treatment. The "evidence" is the evidence. Evidence is different from symptoms, but a comprehensive analysis of various symptoms, signs, and the disease is at a certain stage of the cause of the disease, the location, the nature of the lesion, as well as the two sides of the forces of evil and positive, such as the generalization of the pathology of all aspects of the situation. Therefore, the "evidence" of the treatment, further than the "symptoms" of the treatment, must be based on the role of drugs targeted and selective. Drugs to the meridian, is in long-term practice gradually summed up and summarize the role of drugs on the viscera and organs of the targeted and selective, and then, according to the viscera and organs of the "to the meridian" to determine the drug "to the meridian". Therefore, through the drug "to the meridian", can further improve the "diagnosis and treatment" of the diagnosis and treatment system. For example, Ephedra and Gui Zhi Tang for treating typhoid sun disease, Lizhong Tang for treating taiyin disease, Xiao Chaihu Tang for treating shaoyang disease, Si Rei San for regulating the liver and qi, and Liu Wei Di Huang Wan for nourishing the kidney and yin are all formulas for the treatment of the "evidence".

Fourth, the common clinical drugs to the meridian

The common clinical drugs to the meridian, is the successive generations of doctors in the long-term practice and gradually summarized. Due to the different habits and clinical experience of each family, there is a certain difference in the understanding of drug classification. Now the common clinical drugs "to the meridian" synthesized, organized as follows, for clinical reference.

The above are the main medicines attributed to the "twelve meridians" and the "eight veins". Among them, the drugs attributed to the "twelve meridians", mainly based on the internal organs of the meridian. If a drug has a therapeutic effect on an organ or a viscera and its tissues and organs, the viscera according to the "meridian" to determine the "meridian" of the drug. The "odd meridian" does not match with the five viscera and six bowels, so the drugs attributed to the "odd meridian" are "odd meridian" linked to the organs and tissues attributed to the meridian. If a drug has a therapeutic effect on the organs and tissues linked to the "odd meridians", it is attributed to the odd meridians. For example, medicines that have therapeutic effects on the "woman's uterus" can be assigned to the Chong Chakra or Ren Chakra. Medicines that strengthen the muscles and bones can be attributed to the Directing Vessel or the Stilt Vessel. The organs and tissues belonging to the "Qi Channels" are relatively few, so the medicines belonging to the "Qi Channels" are also few. In short, the "meridian" of each drug is determined by the therapeutic effect of the drug and the "meridian" of the internal organs and tissues, not that the drug has a therapeutic effect on the "meridian" itself. For example, the drugs attributed to the hand Taiyin lung meridian are therapeutic for the lungs and the tissues and organs belonging to the lungs, but not for the hand Taiyin meridian itself. Drugs attributed to the "eight channels of odd meridians" have therapeutic effects on the organs or tissues belonging to the "eight channels of odd meridians", but not on the "eight channels of odd meridians" themselves. The "attributed channels" of a drug have therapeutic effects on the organs or tissues belonging to the "eight channels", not on the "eight channels" themselves. This is true for all medicines that are "attributed to the meridians". If the drug "to the meridian" is misunderstood as the drug "meridian" itself has a therapeutic effect, the therapeutic role of the drug is distorted, there is no clinical significance.
