- Abstract
In view of the confusion about the concepts of "phlegm" and "in" in the clinical practice and literature reports of contemporary Chinese medicine, this paper proposes that it is vital to clarify the concepts of "phlegm" and "Yin" for better prevention and treatment of diseases related to "phlegm" and "Yin". Huangdi Neijing was the first to record the name of the disease related to "Yin disease". Zhang Zhongjing's detailed records of the disease related to "Yin" and the prescriptions for the treatment of "Yin" greatly developed and enriched the theory of "Yin disease" in traditional Chinese medicine, which had an important influence on later generations. Subsequently, the concept of "phlegm" gradually came into being. In the Song Dynasty, the concept of "phlegm" was gradually perfected. In the Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasties, doctors gradually generalized the concept of "phlegm" and gradually formed a relatively complete theory of phlegm disease. Contemporary Chinese medicine scholars have explored, analyzed, and preliminarily summarized the concept and essence of "Yin" and "phlegm" from the perspective of modern medicine and began to pay attention to "Yin". By organizing and analyzing the differences in the concepts and treatment of "phlegm" and "Yin" above, and combining them with the author's long-term clinical practice, it is proposed that the essence and connotation of "Yin" should be further explored. This would further expound on the important value and clinical significance of treating chronic respiratory diseases from "Yin evil". In addition, the research ideas of preventing and treating chronic respiratory diseases are proposed based on "Yin evil".
