Discussion on the establishment of a'constitutional-symbolic'clinical thinking pattern based on Xiang thinking
Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)is a life science based on the principle of Xiang thinking.It uses the basic cognitive method of analogy to observe,analyze,and compare various phenomena in the human body and nature,summarizing the essence and laws of human life.The constitution reflects the inherent characteristics and individual features of the human body,running through the processes of health and disease,and is the fundamental and intuitive manifestation of the'Xiang'of the human body.Drawing on the culmination of Xiang thinking,the'Zhouyi'eight trigrams three-line model,we propose a new'constitutional-symbolic'clinical thinking pattern.The'heaven-earth-man'triad represented by the three lines of the eight trigrams from top to bottom is redefined as the'surface-middle burner-constitution'three levels for individual typing diagnosis.This is to explore a new'constitutional-symbolic'clinical thinking pattern to simplify and improve clinical diagnosis and treatment efficiency.
