摘要:

“六味地黄丸”选自宋代医家钱乙《小儿药证直诀》。 它脱胎于张仲景肾气丸, 是化裁改造肾气丸得到的一首方剂。钱乙对肾气丸改造之后, 熟地黄在方剂中的作用凸显出来, 所以将方剂命名为“地黄丸”.自古至今以“地黄丸”(或“圆”)命名的方剂数量众多, 但药物组成差异较大。通过对六味地黄丸的来源、方名寓意、历代的同名方剂进行了探讨。

Abstract:

“Liuwei Dihuang Wan”(pill of six ingredients with Rehmanniae) selected from Key to Therapeutics of Children's Disease written by Qian Yi in the Song Dynasty. It comes from Shenqi Wan (pill for invigorating kidney Qi) of ZHANG Zhong-jing. It is a modified prescription obtained from Shenqi Wan. After modifying Shenqi Wan by Qian Yi the function of Shudihuang (Rhizoma Rehmanniae Praeparatae) was revealed, so this prescription has been called “Dihuang Wan” since then. Till now, there were many prescriptions having the same name of “Dihuang Wan”, however, there were great significant differences between them. This article has elaborated the source and the paraphrase of the prescription as well as those different prescriptions that share the same name with it.
