Exploring the differences and similarities between Ye Tianshi and Wu Cheng's theories of spleen and stomach yin deficiency based on their medical works
Ye Tianshi and Wu Cheng inherit and develop Li Dongyuan's theory of spleen and stomach,as Ye Tianshi proposes theories such as"deficiency of stomach yin"and"spleen and stomach diseases being treated separately",while Wu Cheng develops his unique theory of"spleen yin deficiency"under the guidance of Xin'an school's theory of consumptive diseases.In their theories,both Ye Tianshi and Wu Cheng attach great importance to the influence of spleen yin on stomach yin,and their theories complement each other in the theory of spleen and stomach,overcoming the weakness of only invigorating spleen yang in previous spleen and stomach theories,having an extremely important academic value for the separate treatment of spleen and stomach diseases.Based on A Guide to Clinical Practice with Medical Records and Buju Ji,this article analyzes the physiological and pathological characteristics of spleen and stomach yin,as well as the relationship between the spleen and stomach and the five-zang viscera,exploring their treatment rules,medication characteristics,and similarities and differences in treating diseases with the syndromes of spleen and stomach yin deficiency.
