Chinese medicine is obscure

abstract and non-concrete

which hinders the further development of the subject. The authors propose promoting the development of standardization of Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment from the following aspects: emphasizing chief complaint

standardization of terms

diagnostic contribution of clinical data

innovating prescription-syndrome and herb-symptom correlation mode

making up for the blind zone of classical theories

finding the bias of theoretical development

handling the relation between inheritance and innovation well

as well as constructing the diagnosis and treatment route of chief complaint syndrome differentiation. These methods can not only solve the above problems

but also have positive effect on improving the Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment level

as well as promoting the Chinese medical service ability.
