Abstract：Based on the"four in one"theory of"sex,position,potential,and syndrome",this paper conducts a four-dimensional analysis and summary of the classic formula Zhuling Decoction,and further analyzes the etiology and pathogenesis of chronic glomerulonephritis on this basis.The formula of Zhuling Decoction is sweet and cold;the kidney with a downward focus;Fang Shi focuses on clearing,benefiting,and supplementing,with a particular emphasis on clearing and benefiting the damp heat of the lower burner,while also protecting the Yin fluid to prevent excessive seepage;the prescription is a type of disease characterized by edema and other water heat interactions,as well as heat damage to Yin fluid.Therefore,Zhuling Decoction corresponds to the treatment of chronic glomerulonephritis caused by multiple pathological factors and the combination of deficiency and excess.Discussing Zhang Zhongjing's classic prescriptions and corresponding syndromes from the perspectives of"nature,position,potential,and syndrome"can make the principles more comprehensive and three-dimensional,thus enabling dialectical analysis of Zhongjing's prescriptions in accordance with their respective syndromes.It is also beneficial for better integrating the theory of prescriptions and syndromes with clinical practice.
