Abstract：Systematic sphygmology for pattern differentiation is the core methodology for traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)clinical diagnosis and treatment.Centering on pulse diagnosis,it precisely identifies the causes,pathogenesis,and prognosis trends of diseases by systematically analyzing the characteristics of the pulse,providing an objective basis for establishing treatment principles and selecting prescriptions.There is a multi-dimensional dynamic corresponding relationship between pulse and prescriptions.Through the syndrome differentiation logic of"identifying syndromes based on pulse and formulating prescriptions according to syndromes",a prescription application system guided by pulse diagnosis can be constructed.Based on the objective analysis of systematic sphygmology for pattern differentiation,in clinical practice,it is not only possible to optimize the compatibility structure of prescriptions,adjust the dosage ratio of drugs and the relationships among the principal,deputy,assistant,and guide herbs,but also to innovatively establish a diagnosis and treatment model of coordinated matching of"pulse-syndrome-prescription",thus promoting the in-depth development of individualized and precise treatment in TCM.Approved by the Shandong Standardization Association for project initiation,and after being demonstrated by experts from multiple disciplines and fields and verified through evidence-based practice,the Clinical Application Specification of"Pulse-Prescription Correspondence"in Systematic Sphygmology for Pattern Differentiation was finally formulated.This specification has achieved a scientific correlation between pulse diagnosis information,classic prescriptions,and empirical compound prescriptions.It provides an operable technical path and theoretical support for enhancing the clinical application efficacy of prescriptions and promoting the standardization of TCM diagnosis and treatment.The promotion of this specification will contribute to the development of TCM prescription science and has certain academic value and practical significance.
