Discussion on Location and Transmission Patterns of Bi (痹) Syndrome Based on the "Bi of both Body and Viscera" Theory
This study deepens the understanding of the disease location of
bi
(痹)
syndrome
based on "
bi
of both body and viscera" theory. By reviewing classical and modern medical discussions on
bi syndrome
, the paper elucidates the disease location of "
bi
of five body constituents" and "
bi
of
zang
-
fu
organs (脏腑)", while
also incorporating body and orifices, extraordinary organs into the scope of
bi
syndrome localization. Integrating traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theory, this study explicates how
bi
syndrome, grounded in the material basis of
qi
, blood, fluids, and essence, follows the meridian network and exhibits pathomechanisms of mutual influence and transmission between the exterior (the five body constituents and sensory orifices) and the interior (the viscera and the extraordinary organs). It further analyzes the intrinsic TCM mechanisms behind the clinical features of rheumatic immune diseases, namely multisystem involvement, chronic protraction, and the intermingling of deficiency and excess, thereby offering a new TCM theoretical paradigm for their diagnosis and treatment.
