ABSTRACT

Objectives : This study examines the grounds on which Wulao(五勞)·Liuji(六極)·Qishang(七傷) which are categories of Xulao(虛勞) are differentiated, along with standards by which each category is further classified. Methods : Based on 『Zhubingyuanhoulun(諸病源候論)』, the first text to sort the different types and symptoms of Wulao(五勞)·Liuji(六極)·Qishang(七傷), each classification and its symptoms were analyzed. Texts which were written relatively close in time to 『Zhubingyuanhoulun』 were referenced in the process. Results & Conclusions : The differentiation of Wulao(五勞)·Liuji(六極)·Qishang(七傷) is based on the cause of illness. Wulao(五勞) is caused by mental activity which fatigues the Five Zang, Liuji(六極) is caused by exterior pathogens that damage the Five Body Elements, and Qishang(七傷) is caused by emotional factors as well as damaging practices.
