How many symptoms are there in Chinese medicine? This is a question which is difficult to be answered
because Chinese medicine has not set up a united standard for symptoms definition.On the base of medical record database of the past dynasties
the paper points out that the vital phenomenon consists of 5 basic factors
including observers
and observational tools
objects
angles and results. Whether the vital phenomenon becomes symptom or not depends on the differentiation of different morbid states.A symptom that does not depend on other symptoms and occurs in morbid states is called an independent symptom.A symptomatic unit is an independent symptom with the least location and nature intension.There are 462 symptomatic units screened with the characteristics of single intension and limit amount.
