Core Doctrine and Clinical Methods

All

From Clinical Practice to Systematic Organization

This theme corresponds to Pei Zhengxue's summary of his personal academic journey. It presents a clear trajectory: first solving problems in clinical practice, then elevating experience into a methodology, and finally forming a disseminable knowledge system through monographs, papers, and research on formulas and herbs.

Method Theme

Integrating Macro and Micro Differentiation

Pei Zhengxue has emphasized in numerous articles that traditional syndrome differentiation should not be confined to the level of macroscopic symptoms; rather, with the support of modern diagnostics, pathological understanding, and experimental research, it should advance toward more refined 'microscopic syndrome differentiation.' This lays the foundation for establishing a more stable correlation among theories, chapters, and formula assets.

The Sixteen-Character Clinical Guideline

‘Western medical diagnosis, TCM syndrome differentiation, Western medicine as auxiliary, and TCM as primary’ is not merely a slogan; it is Pei Zhengxue’s core methodology for handling clinical work in the integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine. It emphasizes first establishing a clear modern medical diagnosis, then conducting syndrome differentiation-based treatment on this basis, while maintaining a clear distinction between primary and secondary elements in the treatment strategy.
