What kind of medical thought does Li Shizhen have?

In the first volume of Compendium of Materia Medica, Li Shizhen praised Zhang's point of view, saying that Zhang "profoundly expounded the mystery, understood the subtlety of man and nature, and said that ancient prescriptions were incompatible with new diseases and formed his own family." The method of distinguishing smell, yin and yang, thickness, ascending and descending, ups and downs, reinforcing and reducing, six qi, the twelve meridians and taking medicine with syndrome is established as indication, secret recipe, heart method and key, which is called pearl pouch, which promotes medical science. Under Ling and Su, there is only one person. "

Li Shizhen not only accepted the academic viewpoint and medical thought of Yi School, but also developed this theory in his own works. He pointed out in the Compendium of Materia Medica that "the old order is complicated, and now Shennong is the right one, and other philosophers attach it, which is beneficial to Zhang and Li."

Then, in the first volume of the preface, Zhang and his disciples and Wang's exposition on the taste and efficacy of drugs were quoted in considerable space, mostly about the relationship between the taste of drugs and viscera, and the application law of the rise and fall of drugs; The whole article uses Zhang's Prescription of Deficiency and Deficiency of Zangfu to expand and supplement Zhang's Prescription of Meridian Introduction, enriching the theory of drug meridian tropism.

Extended data:

In particular, from the perspective of syndrome differentiation and treatment, based on the pathological mechanism of zang-fu organs and combined with clinical practice, Li explained the relevant prescriptions, which enriched the content of syndrome differentiation and medication of zang-fu organs. For example, when expounding the brightener, Shi Zhen explained the cloud: "Light can be turned off. There are tables with closed inside and closed up and down.

People who are closed to the outside world are injured by cold, their meridians are closed, and they are depressed in yang, so they can't get out. On the contrary, it is fever, aversion to cold, headache and strong spine, so it is advisable to treat its sweat lightly and relieve the exterior. For those with internal stagnation, the body fluid is not smooth, and the skin is dry and sealed. However, for symptoms such as muscle heat, upset, headache, eye swelling, fainting and sores, it is advisable to gently lift the medicine to relax the muscles, and then analyze the "upper closure" and "lower closure" after the fire dissipates.

It embodies his academic thought of paying attention to the pathogenesis of zang-fu organs and exploring the correlation between the occurrence and development of diseases and the treatment of drugs based on syndrome differentiation. It can be seen that Li Shizhen's medical thought originated from Zhang's theory of viscera and pathogenesis.
