Abstract：This study focuses on the thinking mode of sorting out YE Tianshi's medical records in Guide to Clinical Practice with Medical Records and its potential value for the development of traditional Chinese medicine.In sorting out YE Tianshi's medical records,HUA Xiuyun adopted a disease classification method that combined"bottom-up"and"top-down"approaches to distinguish between the main symptoms and the secondary symptoms,and introduced the idea of transmission and transformation levels in the arrangement of medical records.HUA Xiuyun's thinking mode is characterized by"structuralism".He regards"law"as the core of the medical system and emphasizes understanding the profound connotation of"law"by comparing the similarities and differences in the"law"of drug use in medical cases and combining it with the works of predecessors.This"structuralism"ideology is of great significance to the modernization of traditional Chinese medicine.It can respond to the challenges of the trend of falsification,conform to the inherent"structuralism"tendency of traditional Chinese medicine,and it is a feasible solution to achieve the scientific and objective nature of traditional Chinese medicine.
