Shanghan Lun

The Shanghan Lun, a classic work of traditional Chinese medicine, was written by the renowned medical expert Zhang Zhongjing (c. 150-154 - c. 215-219) during the Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220). This work established the principle of "syndrome identification and treatment" and discussed the pathology of febrile diseases, their diagnosis, treatment methods, and prescription medications. It is the first classic work in the history of Chinese medicine that combines theory, diagnosis methodology, treatment, and medicine. Later medical experts, especially those after the Song Dynasty (960-1279), highly valued this work, and hundreds of scholars were involved in its editing, interpretation, and annotation, greatly improving clinical treatment at the time.

The standard prescriptions recorded in the Shanghan Lun reveal a high level of rigor in selecting and combining medicinal ingredients together with a degree of flexibility in adjusting medication to the development of a disease. These prescriptions were used by Chinese medical practitioners throughout history, and they showed significant therapeutic effects, and were thus hailed as a classic reference for doctors.

《傷寒論》

中醫(yī)學(xué)經(jīng)典著作《傷寒論》由東漢著名醫(yī)學(xué)家張仲景（約150—154至約215—219）撰寫。這一著作確立了“辨證施治”的治療原則，論述了外感熱病的病理、診斷、療法、方劑，是中國醫(yī)學(xué)史上第一部理、法、方、藥俱備的經(jīng)典著作。自宋代以后，這一著作受到歷代醫(yī)家的重視，對其整理、詮述、注釋者多至數(shù)百家，大大提高了當(dāng)時中醫(yī)臨床治療水平。

《傷寒論》記載的方劑不但精于選藥、講究配伍，還可以針對病情發(fā)展靈活加減變化，經(jīng)中國歷代醫(yī)家的反復(fù)應(yīng)用， 療效顯著，因此被后世譽為“眾方之祖”，尊之為“經(jīng)方”。
