滑寿学术思想管窥

元代著名医学滑寿对文义深奥、不易体会的《内经》、《难经》采用“ 删去繁芜,撮其枢要”的方法,大胆提出分门别类,钞而读之。他以门脉为纲,统括三十种脉象。使脉学研究更为纲举和,脉诊之大纲致于清晰,使后之学者见象知理,易于掌握。其所著《十四经发挥》,把督、任二脉与十二经合论为十四经,并考诸《内经》,厘定穴位657个,分归于十四经中,使经络学说益臻系统、完善。

A Study of the Academic Theory of HUA Shou

The famous doctor of the Yuan Dynasty HUA Shou gave a bold classification of the profound Internal Classics and the Classic on Difficult Problems by deleting the verbosity and keeping the pivot. He made everything of the study of pulses fall into place by taking the six pulses as the key link. This makes it easier for the scholars of later generation to understand the theories. In his book The Enlargement of the Fourteen Channels , he put the du and ren pulses as well as the twelve channels into a group of fourteen, and decided on 657 points with reference to the Internal Classics , which were divided and distributed into the fourteen channels, making the theory of meridian more systematic and complete.
