Pathology-Related Term-Frequency in Chinese Medical Classics

Ni LIN, Xu REN, Yuan LIN, Hong SHEN

Abstract


Background: Pathology-related term-frequency was studied in Chinese medical classics to trace the base of the development and growth of Pathology in China. Methods: Internet and Microsoft vocabulary extraction function and MyZiCiFreq word frequency statistics tool were uses as the research methods. The data is to be used for the further study of the history of pathology in China as a whole. Results: With reference to several vernacular Chinese versions, 11 pathology-related entries and 23 word frequencies were selected. Conclusion: the research on the mechanism of disease’s occurrence, development and changes in Chinese traditional medicine failed to be integrated into pathology like modern western medicine. The lack of accurate expression and clear analysis for medical terms has seriously influenced the structure and systematization of Chinese traditional medicine.
