It has gradually formed and developed through the long-term medical practice of generations of TCM practitioners. It serves as a bridge between basic TCM disciplines and clinical specialties, making it a core course in the TCM professional curriculum. Its primary task is to explore how to utilize various examination methods and techniques to gather clinical information, analyze the collected data, and summarize the etiology, nature, progression, and pathological changes of diseases, thereby gaining an understanding of the essence of the disease.
