方剂学课程的特征及其思考

辨证论治中证-法-方-药的有机联系决定了方剂与病证、治法、药物之间的密切关系。方证相关是学科的内在逻辑,治法是方剂分类的依据和学科知识体系构成的基础,方与药之间存在复杂的离合关系,方论是学科的理论形式。方剂学学科内涵决定了其课程的特征,即方剂学课程是以著名成方为对象,以中医药学理为背景,以方证相关为逻辑,以方论为工具,以阐述制方原理为主要功能的一门理论课程。

Characteristics of the study of Chinese formulae together with reflection

Inter-related combination of syndrome-therapy-formula-medicine in differential diagnosis and treatment determines the intimate relationship between formulae on the one hand and syndromes, therapies and medicines on the other. Interrelation between formulae and syndromes is the inner logic of the study. Treating methods or therapies are the foundation to classify types of formulae and form knowledge system of the study. There exist complicated relationships between formulae and medicine. Connotation of the study determines the following characteristics of the course: taking famous formulae as objects, taking Chinese medicine theories as background, taking inner relation between formulae and syndromes as logic, taking formula remarks as tools, and taking clarification of formula composing theories as main function.
