通过对《伤寒论》原文的解读,认为症与证候的关系非常紧密,症用来认识、确立证候,证候反过来促进了对个别症状的理解和治疗。中医的症状必须放到具体证候中去解读,才更深刻、更有意义。
The relationship of symptom and pattern is very close in Shanghanlun ( Treatise On Cold Pathogenic Diseases, 伤寒论). The pattern is recognized and established by symptoms. In turn, patterns promote the understand- ing and treatment of individual symptoms. It is more profound and meaningful to interpret symptoms when placing in specific patterns.
