[Studies on Shang Han Lun in Ming Dynasty and its influence]

This paper points out, on the basis of systemic investigation on works of Shang Han Lun in the Ming Dynasty, that the manifestation of its influence on later ages is the promotion of gradual maturation of the theory of Wen Bing (seasonal febrile diseases). The resystematization of Ming edition of Shang Han Lun provides a multifarious approach for its study, while the contention deepens the study in later ages. It serves as a period linking the past and the future concerning studies on the science of Shang Han Lun. It also sets up a model for Qing Dynasty and modern age to follow in this aspect.
