Translation:
There is originally fur on the tongue. If it disappears locally or entirely, it is called desquamated fur. If the fur completely peels off, it proves that the stomach yin is exhausted, severely damaging the stomach qi. If the fur peels off incompletely, with smooth, fur-free areas, it is called mottled desquamation, indicating that both qi and yin of the stomach are injured. If the peeling areas are not smooth and have granular formations similar to new growths, it is called pseudo-desquamation, proving that the patient's blood and qi are discontinuous. If most of the fur peels off, leaving only a small patch, it is called a chicken heart tongue, indicating a severe deficiency of stomach qi and yin.
Additionally, if the fur transitions from present to absent, it signifies insufficient stomach qi and yin, with declining healthy qi. If the fur transitions from absent to gradually thin and white, it indicates the condition is improving. It is best to implement Chinese herbal medicine regulation, pulse diagnosis, prescription formulation, and syndrome differentiation for treatment. The above suggestions are for the question "What is the reason for partial desquamation of the tongue fur at the base in children?" It is hoped that this will be helpful to you. Wishing you health!
