  • Title: [Origin and development of treatment of Guzhang syndrome (ascitis and abdominal distention) in TCM].
    Author: Li H.
    Journal: Zhonghua Yi Shi Za Zhi; 1997; 27(1):13-7. PubMed ID: 11618958.
    Abstract:
    The theory and treatment of Guzhang syndrome was continuously developing as time went on. From Spring and Autumn, Warring States to the Han-Jin period, Neijin and Shang Han Lun laid down the foundation for the development of later ages. During the Tang-Song-Jin-Yuan periods, there were breakthrough and inventions in the recognition theory and treatment, particularly the contention between Gong (purgation) and Bu (reinforce) schools, thus further promoting the development of research on Guzhang syndrome. During Ming-Qing dynasties, based on summing up the experiences of forerunners, new implication or the causes, pathomechanism, diagnosis and treatment appeared with even greater progress. After inheriting and developing the available experiences, modern and contemporary doctors paid attention to combining TCM with modern medicine so that the theory and practice can be more perfected.
