Abstract:This article introduces Professor WANG Wenjian's"three-in-one"academic thought on paste prescriptions,which revolves around the three modules of"disease,symptom,and constitution",and achieves precise identification,tailored treatment,and flexible medication through the combination of disease diagnosis,symptom diagnosis,and constitution diagnosis.The guiding principle of the"three-in-one"is"conditioning in winter and curing diseases as the first priority",aiming to emphasize that the original intention,nature,and purpose of traditional Chinese medicine paste prescriptions are for treating diseases and promoting health,rather than just for nourishing the body.The first layer of the"three-in-one"is based on disease differentiation,and the same disease is treated with similar way;the second layer involves modifying based on symptom differentiation and balancing the body and spirit;the third layer is adjusting treatment based on the body constitution differentiation,making appropriate treatment individualized to patient,season and locality.One test case is attached.
