JingFang is as old as the hills

Author 寂&明

    Traditional Chinese medical system includes a lot of content, JingFang medicine is one of them, and has a peculiar style. Now, let me talk about it.

    The first, JingFang medicine appeared in ancient times. Why do I say like this? This system has a prescription（处方、药方）named ShaoKunSan（烧裈散）。Men burned the underwear to ashes, then take it wiht water. The ashes is not drug. So, this treatment is before drug era. It is considered that ShaoKunSan was witchcraft traces.

    ‘DUI（敦）’ is a sort of container like box, that it has been used in the era of Zhanguo. It has been replaced by ‘He（合）’ in the Qin dynasty. ‘Dui’ tells us that JingFang came out before Qin period.By them, we can get to know that JingFang medicine is very old.

    The second, JingFang medicine follows the rule that diagnosis and treatment are integration. The diagnosis is nemed “Zheng”（证），and the treatment is using prescription. The prescription is made of some drugs. It was called “Tang”（汤）、San（散）、Wan（丸），such as “MaHuang Tang”、”WuLingSan”、”LiZhongWan”. Accordingly, the diagnosis was called  “MaHuangTang Zheng”. The both just  like two sides of one coin.Why did the ancients use this thinking model? We don’t known. Maybe, the choice under no choice becomes the best choice.

    The third, there are little theory in the system. The author took a lot of description for experiences. Observing and recording were the main work. By contrast, imagining and discussing were less. So, Shanghanlun left great studying space for the followers. It was named the great book. To traditional medicine, JingFang is a wonderful technology, and best treatment, no one of.

The end.

What is the Jing Fang/classic prescription?

It refers to the prescription represented by Zhang Zhongjing's classic works in the Han Dynasty. In a broad sense, Jing Fang is the "prescription of experience".

The 113 prescriptions in the theory of SHANG HAN LUN are more formulas and prescriptions for teaching and demonstration.

The classic prescription is not a prescription for combined medication. The licorice decoction and Platycodon grandiflorum Decoction in the theory of typhoid fever are only one medicine, but they are all within the scope of the classic prescription.

It is wrong to regard the classic prescription as an invariable method of combined medication. We should learn and master the pathology and pathogenesis corresponding to this prescription, and the reason why it uses different drugs.

In fact, we learn the classical prescription is to learn its dialectical thinking.

经方不是老的，旧的，而是古典的，有点用词不当！
如果图书在西方世界有等级的话这个跟《希波克拉底文集》是一个级别的。
