金匮要略

《金匮要略方论》，简称《金匮要略》，中医临床著作，东汉张仲景撰，为《伤寒杂病论》的一部分，主要内容为杂病部分，参杂几条《伤寒论》部分条文。

历史源流

《伤寒杂病论》因汉末之后历史上长年的战乱而隐佚，后晋代王叔和得《伤寒杂病论》稿而将伤寒部分独立成《伤寒论》一书。杂病部分未在当世流通。直到北宋仁宗时代，王洙于馆阁时偶然发现蠹简中有《金匮玉函要略方》三卷，上卷为伤寒，中卷论杂病，下卷载其方。

后在与林亿等人所校订之宋版《伤寒论》比较核对下，朝臣将宋版《伤寒论》未有的“杂病”、“方剂”、“妇人病”部分单独取出，并引用其他医书为参考补足，而成《金匮要略》一书，凡二十篇。

内容

本书主要以病证作为分类，主治内伤杂病，于霍乱病、百合病、阴阳毒、疟病、虚劳、瘀血病、胸痹病、水饮病、咳嗽病、妇女杂病等皆有涉入，依病名分类，列方处置。

成就

《金匮要略》是《伤寒杂病论》的杂病部分，也是中国现存最早论述杂病诊治的专著。该书言语简炼、处方精当，包括针灸治疗理论基础及治疗原则、针灸应用规律、治疗作用、针药并用、杂病治疗、治未病思想及针灸禁忌证等内容，是中医学习过程中不可或缺的重要典籍。本书开创了“痰饮致眩”的理论先河，并提出“病痰饮者，当以温药和之”等治疗方法，为后世医家从痰饮论治本病奠定了理论基础。

Jingui Yaolüe (simplified Chinese: 金匮要略; traditional Chinese: 金匱要略; pinyin: Jīnguì Yàolüè), Essential Prescriptions from the Golden Cabinet is a classic clinical book of traditional Chinese medicine written by Zhang Zhongjing (150-219) at the end of the Eastern Han dynasty and was first published in the Northern Song dynasty. It is one of the two standardized books extracted from the Shanghan Zabing Lun by later editors, the other being Shanghan Lun. The oldest known extant copy, believed to be bibliographically closest to the original, dates to 1340 and was printed with woodcuts in the early Ming dynasty.

There is an annotated English translation by Luo Xiwen, with three hundred modern case histories titled: Synopsis of Prescriptions of the Golden Chamber with 300 Cases. First published in 1995 by New World Press.
