The medical book synopsis of the golden chamber is an important part of Zhang Zhongjing's treatise on febrile diseases. It should be said that treatise on febrile diseases and synopsis of golden chamber are called treatise on febrile diseases. Among them, the typhoid part of exogenous diseases is called Treatise on Febrile Diseases, and the contents of other miscellaneous diseases (including surgical diseases and gynecological diseases) are mainly called Synopsis of the Golden Chamber. This is because Treatise on Febrile Diseases has been divided into two parts in the historical evolution, so whether it is Treatise on Febrile Diseases or Synopsis of the Golden Chamber, their inheritance and function in the history of traditional Chinese medicine are the same, and they can no longer be divided into two parts. If we want to say the main difference between Treatise on Febrile Diseases and synopsis of golden chamber, it is that, as mentioned above, Treatise on Febrile Diseases focuses on typhoid fever caused by exogenous factors, while synopsis of golden chamber focuses on miscellaneous diseases; Zhang Zhongjing created the theory of differentiation of six meridians in Treatise on Febrile Diseases and the theory of differentiation of zang-fu organs in Synopsis of the Golden Chamber, which still plays an important role today.
If we want to say the role of Treatise on Febrile Diseases in the process of inheritance, it should be consistent with the role of Treatise on Febrile Diseases in China's medicine: Zhang integrated the classics and medical classics into one furnace, creating the integration of principle, law, prescription and medicine (composed of principle, treatment principle, treatment method and prescription and medicine). This is the academic background of this book by Zhang Zhongjing. He integrated the medical classics and classic prescriptions before the Han Dynasty, and established a syndrome differentiation and treatment system combining theory, law, prescription and medicine, which laid the foundation for the development of clinical medicine of traditional Chinese medicine.
