Speaking of traditional Chinese medicine Lianhua Qingwen , everyone is familiar with it. It is usually used to treat colds and influenza. In the "Diagnosis and Treatment Plan for the New Coronavirus Pneumonia", it is clearly recommended to be used for the treatment of patients with medical observation , mild and ordinary types of new coronavirus , and is widely used in the treatment of respiratory virus infectious diseases. As everyone pays attention to Lianhua Qingwen, some people have noticed some details of the instructions, such as why it is " Lianhua " instead of " Lotus ", "for influenza is a "symptom" rather than "symptom" rather than "symptom" of "influenza" in the lung syndrome, "is these really typos in the instructions?

In fact, it contains some scientific knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine, and the culture of traditional Chinese medicine is profound. Today, let us learn more about it with the topic of Lianhua Qingwen.

Is it Lianhua Qingwen or Lianhua Qingwen?

First, let’s take a look at one of the commonly used methods for naming Chinese patent medicines, the abbreviation + function + dosage form of the two main medicines. The "lian" of "lianhua" refers to forsythia , and "hua" refers to honeysuckle. This medicine has the effects of clearing verbal detoxification and relieving lungs and relieving heat. Its main dosage forms are capsules and granules, so it is named Lianhua Qingwen Capsules (granules). Capsules and granules are just different in terms of production processes, and there is no difference in terms of ingredients and efficacy.

Therefore, this "continuous flower" is not the "lotus".

Common knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine for "symptom" and "symptom"

When we usually mention diseases, we will think of the word "symptom", but we have less knowledge of the word "symptom". Therefore, some people believe that there is a typo in the "for influenza" instruction manual "for the influenza is heat and toxin attack lung syndrome" and it should be "symptom". In fact, the "symptoms" and "symptoms" in traditional Chinese medicine have completely unnecessary connotations.

symptoms are symptoms, which are external manifestations of the body's response to diseases and are also subjective feelings of physical discomfort, such as fever, headache, cough, fatigue, etc. Symptoms refer to symptoms, which is a general description of the pathology through looking, hearing, asking and cleavage at a certain stage of the disease development process, such as spleen and stomach weakness, qi and blood deficiency syndrome, qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome, etc.

In fact, each "symptom" will include many symptoms. Only when traditional Chinese medicine judges the essential "symptom" of the disease during the treatment process can it provide accurate treatment, rather than treating the head with headaches and feet with pain.

"Chinese medicine is a great treasure house, and we should work hard to discover and improve it." A grass changes the world, a silver needle connects China and the West, and a wisp of medicine fragrance travels through ancient and modern times. Promote and develop the culture of traditional Chinese medicine, innovate in practice and inherit in protection, promote the high-quality development of traditional Chinese medicine and industry, and make new and greater contributions to promoting national construction and improving people's health and well-being.
