This paper summarized professor BAI Changchuan's experience in differentiating and treating stagnation damaged spleen and stomach diseases from the perspective of
shang
(熵) disease, and proposed that “disease due to stagnation” is the main pathogenesis of the spleen and stomach diseases today. From the perspective of
shang
disease, this paper analyzed stagnation damaged spleen and stomach, focused on the three basic laws of transportation, dispersion and dissolution, and introduced the “seven spleen transportation method” through moistening, soothing, raising, unblocking (directing downward), harmonizing, fortifying and warming, the dispersion method through activating blood and removing turbidity, rectifying
qi
and relieving pain, and the dissolution method through warming and clearing. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) therapies can be used to treat
shang
disease through reducing the internal pathological factors and correcting the metabolic disorder, which helps to prevent the related diseases of “
shang
increase due to stagnation”and provide a new way to understand stagnation damaging the spleen and stomach.
