Eight-Principle Syndrome Differentiation, also known as Eight-Principle Pattern Identification, is the process of diagnosing a syndrome (or pattern) by analyzing the patient’s condition according to the eight principles. This involves differentiating the location of a disease as either exterior or interior, distinguishing the nature of a disease as either cold or heat, identifying the patient’s condition as either deficiency or excess, and classifying the syndrome or pattern as either yin or yang.Read more 
- Six-Meridian Syndrome Differentiation
Six-Meridian Syndrome Differentiation, also known as Six-Meridian Pattern Identification, involves differentiating syndromes (or identifying patterns) according to the theory of the six meridians. This method is primarily applied to the diagnosis of acute febrile diseases at different stages, but it is also useful for syndrome differentiation (or pattern identification) in other diseases.Read more
- Defense-Qi-Nutrient-Blood Syndrome Differentiation
Defense-Qi-Nutrient-Blood Syndrome Differentiation, also known as Four-Aspect Pattern Identification, is a method of syndrome differentiation (or pattern identification) for epidemic febrile diseases based on the theory of defense, Qi, nutrient, and blood. These aspects reflect the stages of disease progression and the corresponding pathological changes.Read more
