Brief Discussion on Half Surface,Half Inner and Shaoyang Disease
The concept of"half-exterior and half-interior"was not proposed in the Treatise on Cold Damage,which was written by Zhang Zongjing.It was introduced by later commentators.The"half-exterior and half-interior"is not a spe-cific level or location in the human body,nor is it a specific organ or set of organs.The"half-disease"of the Shaoyang and Jueyin syndromes should be understood as a condition of being half-exterior and half-interior,half-cold and half-hot,and half-deficient and half-excessive.Treatment should be based on the"harmonizing method",which involves re-solving both exterior and interior pathogens,using both cold and hot drugs,and employing both attacking and nouris-hing therapies.The Shaoyang disease pattern includes the Xiaochaihu Tang pattern,which represents the Shaoyang dis-ease pattern most accurately and fully.The application of Shaoyang disease formulae should not be limited to"matching the syndrome with the formula",but should instead focus on the"half-disease"concept of being half-exterior and half-interior,half-cold and half-hot,and half-deficient and half-excessive.
