An Exploration into Syndrome Differentiation Based on Zang-fu Organs Described in Treatise on Febrile Diseases

The author holds that Treatise on Febrile Diseases is famous chiefly for its syndrome differentiation based on the six meridians, but syndrome differentiation based on zang-fu organs is also covered in the book. Since syndrome differentiation based on the six meridians is made according to the pathological changes of the zang-fu organs and meridians, treatment is given with reference to the pathological changes of the zang-fu organs. Therefore, it is correct to say that syndrome differentiation based on zang-fu organs is also included in Treatise on Febrile Diseases.
