- Abstract:
-
Abdominal palpation,an important part of TCM theory of diagnostic method,was discussed in The Inner
Classic and The Classic of Difficult Issues. Zhang Zhongjing developed it in Treatise on Cold Damage and Miscellaneous
Disease and put it into clinical application,which opened up a precedent for the diagnosis and treatment of abdominal
syndrome,affecting the development of Japanese Kampo abdominal palpation. Since 16th century,Japanese Kampo circle
advocated the use of abdominal palpation. The abdominal palpation of“cold damage school”with Treatise on Cold Damage and Miscellaneous Disease as its theoretical basis mainly examines illness of the five internal organs through the four
diagnostic methods " inspection,listening and? smelling,inquiry and? palpitation" ? on the abdomen,three - finger detecting and pressing manipulation,palm down pressing manipulation and touching and moving manipulation were often
used. As a main method of diagnosis and treatment by " cold damage school",abdominal palpation has important clinical
significance in distinguishing physical constitution,human's righteousness,diagnosing and differentiating diseases,determining disease position,analyzing etiology and pathogenesis,guiding treatment,inferring prognosis and so on.
