Zuogui Pill and Yougui Pill are the important prescriptions of ZHANG Jiebin in treating Yin and Yang deficiency of kidney. Previously
the discussions about the composition of these two prescriptions were mainly limited in the compatibility theory of monarch
minister
assistant and guide
as well as prescription effect and statistical analysis. However
how these two prescriptions were created is seldom mentioned. Analysis from the medical thought inheritance of ZHANG Jiebin and the cognition of drugs shows that actually Zuogui Pill and Yougui Pill are the new created prescriptions of ZHANG Jiebin
he quoted the meaning of "six flavors"(六味)
and made his " true Yin"(真阴) theory as the core
combined with his individual medication knowledge and created them. Zuogui Pill and Yougui Pill share the same characteristics in the prescription structure
and the principles of drugs using are in consistency with "Lei Jing"(《类经》) and "Jingyue Quanshu"(《景岳全书》). These can be regarded as the result of ZHANG Jiebin’s reconciliation of medical knowledge into clinical practice.
