Abstract:

This paper systematically reviews the discussion of on luoli (tuberculous lymphadenitis) in the Huangdi Neijing (Neijing), revealing its core pathogenesis as “Obstruction of Shaoyang Meridians and Intermingling of Phlegm and Blood Stasis”, the disease onset perspective of “Disharmony of Zang-Fu Organs as the Root Cause and Retention of Toxic Qi in Meridians as the Symptomatic Manifestation”, and its treatment system of “Dredging Qi and Blood, and Combining Regulation and Tonification”.By analyzing key classics such as the Lingshu (Miraculous Pivot)·Cold and Heat, Lingshu (Miraculous Pivot)·Meridians, synthesized with the commentaries of later medical practitioners, the study clarifies the guiding value of Neijing theory for modern diseases such as tuberculous lymphadenitis and autoimmune lymphadenopathy, providing classical support for clinical practice.
