【摘要】 在儿科诊断方法中,三岁以下小儿常用观察指纹的方法,并且是儿科独特而重要的诊法。所谓“浮沉分表里,红紫辨寒热,淡滞定虚实,长短测轻重”,其中“红紫辨寒热”是说小儿指纹,色鲜红者,多主外感风寒;色紫红者,多为热证。“红色主寒”似乎已成定论,这不仅与临床不符,而且与中医基本理论相悖逆。更多还原

【Abstract】 Among the pediatric diagnostic methods,observing fingerprints is often used for children under three years old and the unique and important pediatric diagnostic method.It’s said that "floating or sinking determining exterior or interior,red or purple distinguishing cold from heat,light or stagnated telling asthenia from sthenia,long or short clarifying light or serious",and"red or purple distinguishing cold from heat" points to infantile fingerprints,i.e.bright red fingerprints often control exterior wind and cold,while dark red ones often control heat syndrome."Red or purple distinguishing cold from heat" seems to be a final conclusion,but it disagrees with clinic practice,and goes against basic theories of traditional chinese medicine.更多还原
