The doctrine of warm disease in traditional Chinese medicine has been mentioned in the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing", and it is described in the "Difficult Classic" and "Treatise on Typhoid Fever".

"Su Wen: The Theory of Anger and Anger": "Winter hurts the cold, and spring will be sick and warm."

"Su Wen Heat Theory": "The first summer solstice is the sick temperature, and the second summer solstice is the sick heat."

Several terms of external fever such as "damp temperature, fever, and warm disease" mentioned in the "Book of Difficulties" are often quoted in later works on temperature diseases.

The "Treatise on Typhoid Fever" summarizes the experience of syndrome differentiation and treatment of externally induced fever before the second century AD, and also describes the symptoms of fever disease, which is based on the initial onset of the disease, "fever and thirst, and those who do not hate cold are warm diseases", and pointed out that the sweat method should not be misused. This has a great enlightening effect on the establishment of the theory of warm disease in later generations, and advocates the use of pungent and cool treatment.

In the third century A.D., the Jin Dynasty physician Wang Shuhe's opinion believed that the infection of warm disease was due to the unhealthy qi of the four seasons, and there was a distinction between new feelings and evil spirits.

After the seventh century A.D., the doctrine of warm disease continued to be invented. The "Treatise on the Origin and Syndrome of Diseases" lists 22 symptoms of warm disease; the "Qianjin Fang" contains prescriptions for treating warm disease; and the "Secret Essentials of Outer Taiwan" lists the door of warm disease, which records warm poison, warm heat, warm poison spots, and winter temperature and winter temperature spots.

Liu Wansu, one of the four great medical scholars of the Song, Jin and Yuan dynasties, had a leading role in the treatment of warm diseases, so he was known as the founder of the warm disease school and laid the foundation of the warm disease school.

After Wu Youxing, a medical scientist in the late Ming Dynasty, wrote "Treatise on Warm Epidemics", he made the formation of the theory of warm disease a specialized science, creating a premise.

In 1641 A.D., the government was corrupt, the Qing army invaded, the people lived in hardship, the epidemic was epidemic, Shandong, Zhejiang, Hebei and other places, there were more infected with the epidemic, and the doctors at that time used typhoid fever to treat it but could not achieve results.

The medical scientist Wu Youxing, the word is also Ke, a native of Zhenze, Jiangsu, with his own practical experience to explain that typhoid fever and warm epidemic are completely different, he said: "The disease of the Fuwen epidemic is not wind, not cold, not heat and dampness, but there is a strange feeling between heaven and earth."

In 1642 A.D., he wrote "Treatise on Warm Epidemics", in which he had unique insights into the source of infectious diseases, the routes of infection and the immunity of infectious diseases.

Wu Youxing believes that the occurrence of the warm epidemic is neither due to the unhealthy atmosphere of the four seasons, nor is it due to new feelings and evil spirits. The so-called four seasons of unhealthy qi, new sense and evil spirits were originally Wang Shuhe of the Jin Dynasty in the theory of "Yellow Emperor's Neijing", thinking that "the winter is cold...... The cold poison is hidden in the skin, and it becomes a warm disease in spring", "those who have a non-festival warmth in winter are called winter temperatures".

Wang Shuhe's statement has always influenced the cause of infection of warm disease, as well as the pathological mechanism of new sensations and evil spirits in warm disease. When it came to Wu Youxing's "Treatise on the Epidemic of Warmth", he disagreed, believing that it was infected with a substance from the mouth and nose -- anger. And said: "The master of things, the transformation of qi, the transformation of qi, the change of qi, qi is thing, and matter is qi."

It is also pointed out that it is the causative agent of an infectious disease that cannot be seen by the naked eye, cannot be touched by the senses, cannot be heard by the ears, and cannot be smelled by the nose.

After the eighteenth century, the theory of warm disease was greatly developed, and the school of warm disease was gradually formed, and was promoted as the representative of this school, which was the famous clinical physician of the Qing Dynasty, Ye Gui Gongyuan, the word Tianshi, originally from Shexian County, Anhui Province, and later moved to Suzhou.

He inherited his father's scholarship when he was young, and he studied under 17 teachers successively, humbly studying from various parents. Because he was busy with clinical work all his life, he did not write much, and "Warm Syndrome Treatment" and "Clinical Guide to Medical Cases" were compiled by students.

Ye Tianshi summarized the pathological phenomenon of externally induced fever disease as "warm and evil, first attack the lungs, and reverse transmission of the pericardium" to explain that the first is a respiratory infection, and that a coma can occur when it is severe, and the symptoms of temperature disease are divided into four types of "health, qi, camp, and blood" as a program to explain the depth of the disease, as the basis for the treatment of emergencies.

At the same time, it also shows the severity of the disease and the development trend, health - the symptom, the qi - gradually enters the inside from the surface, and the camp and blood - the symptoms. If the disease begins in the guard, it is relatively mild, and the disease gradually deepens from the guard to the qi and then to the blood, which means that the disease is getting worse and worse.

Ye Tianshi also summed up the experience of medical scientists in the past, enriched the content of syndrome differentiation, and creatively used the methods of observing tongue coatings, dental examinations, and identifying macules and white ruffians, which played a certain guiding significance for clinical practice.

Xue Shengbai, who is as famous as Ye Tianshi, is the author of "Warm Fever Disease", and his academic views are basically the same as Ye's. Xue Shengbai, named Xue, is a native of Suzhou.

Since then, there have been more and more doctors who have studied the theory of warm disease, and the representative ones are Wu Jutong and Wang Mengying.

Wu Jutong, Mingtang, a native of Huaiyin, Jiangsu. He inherited and carried forward Ye Tianshi's doctrine, and referred to the books such as "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing", "The Book of Difficulty", "Treatise on Typhoid Fever" and the academic ideas of medical scholars of previous dynasties, combined with his own clinical experience, and wrote "Differentiation of Warm Disease" in 1798 AD, which divided the symptoms of warm disease into upper, middle and lower three focal treatments, which marked the progress and change of the form of warm disease.

For example, the upper focal pattern mostly belongs to respiratory lesions, the middle focal pattern mostly belongs to digestive lesions, and the lower focal pattern mostly refers to a series of weak lesions due to the weakening of the body's resistance.

Wu Jutong also created famous formulas such as "Sangju Drink" and "Yinqiaosan", which are still widely used in clinical practice to this day, and the efficacy is reliable.

After the Opium War, Wang Mengying, a Qing Dynasty physician, was a famous scholar and a native of Haining, Zhejiang. During the Revolutionary War of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, he moved to Shanghai. He took the theories of "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" and "Treatise on Typhoid Fever" as the "classics", and Ye Tianshi, Xue Shengbai and other theories as the "weft", and compiled the "Warm Jingwei" in 1852 AD......

These discussions, arguments, and explorations of several members of the Warm Disease Sect sitting at the front desk, Ye Chen, who was sitting in the back, could hear them very clearly.

This salon model, Ye Chen thinks it's very good. After all, compared to the members of the Typhoid Fever Sect, there are far fewer members of these Warm Illness Sects here.

However, these members are all major Chinese medicine doctors in Shanghai, major famous doctors in major hospitals, and main professors in major universities, which can be said to be a group of elites in the field of traditional Chinese medicine.

With the development of the warm disease school, to the most prosperous Ming and Qing dynasties, and then to the current decline, in fact, as long as the development of the warm disease school is clear, there is a clear line in it.

Ye Chen sat there and heard that there were members of the Warm Disease School, and when he said that the Warm Disease School would definitely replace the Typhoid School in the future and flourish again, Ye Chen knew that among these members, they might really love the Warm Disease School very much.

But is this really possible?
