Abstract

|
|
Objectives : This paper reviews the possibility of confusing wind-cold and cold dryness that can be found in the critical discussion revolving Wu Jutong's concept of cold dryness. With this, the paper aims to refresh the understanding of the concept of cold dryness as put together by Wu Jutong.
Methods : The paper reviews the concept of Wu Jutong's cold dryness based on today's critical discussions on the topic. At the same time, the paper searches for additional theoretical basis that can be proposed with regards to Wu Jutong's concept of cold dryness.
Results : The core element of the criticisms against Wu Jutong's cold dryness is that cold dryness's cold dryness pattern proposes cold fluid as one of the main symptoms, and that Xiaoqinglongtang is referred to as a cure. However, the problem of the dryness and dampness that can be found in Wu Jutong's cold dryness seems that it can be explained by the discussions regarding Shenkuzao as written in Neijing. Moreover, considering the fact that the connection between cold paathogen and Shenkuzao that surfaced in historical medical theories can also be applied to the concept of cold dryness, it seems that it can be helpful in understanding the characteristics of disease mechanism of cold dryness.
Conclusions : The discussion on the concept of cold dryness originally derives as a branch of the discussion on cold. Acknowledging this, it seems that reconsideration is required on the assertion that Wu Jutong confused the symptoms of wind-cold with that of cold dryness.
