Introduction

Standardization of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is an important component of the development of TCM and a cornerstone supporting its advancement. Among these standards is TCM diagnosis.

The standardization of terminology has profound significance for promoting the standardization, informatization and internationalization of traditional Chinese medicine.

The formulation and publication of (Traditional Chinese Medicine Diagnostic Terminology Part 1: Tongue Appearance) is a milestone in the international standardization of TCM diagnostic terminology.

Significance. Adopting this international standard will greatly promote the development of information technology in traditional Chinese medicine in my country and provide new impetus for the innovative development of traditional Chinese medicine.

power.

Standardizing TCM tongue diagnosis terminology facilitates the digitization of traditional TCM clinical descriptions of tongue diagnosis, thereby meeting the requirements for standardization in electronic medical records.

Promote the development of TCM internet healthcare and provide standard support for the interconnection and sharing of TCM diagnosis and treatment information.

Standardization of TCM tongue diagnosis terminology is a prerequisite for promoting innovative development in TCM tongue diagnosis research. Currently, my country urgently needs a series of standardized TCM tongue diagnosis terminologies.

The relevant national technical standards have been issued. The formulation of standards for TCM tongue diagnosis terminology will strongly promote the research and development and application of diagnostic instruments such as TCM tongue diagnosis instruments.

A new field of research.

Standardized terminology for tongue diagnosis in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is essential for the development of TCM clinical guidelines and quality evaluation systems. TCM medical services involve human life and health.

In the process of diagnosis and treatment, each step requires technical standards to ensure quality and safety. Standardized diagnostic terminology in Traditional Chinese Medicine, such as tongue diagnosis, is essential for clinical examination and disease identification.

It is an important basis for diagnosis and syndrome differentiation, so as to ensure the quality and safety of traditional Chinese medicine services.

Standardized terminology for tongue diagnosis in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is the cornerstone of its internationalization. TCM has been accepted by many countries worldwide, playing a vital role in safeguarding the health of people in various countries.

It plays an increasingly important role in the health of the people. The International Organization for Standardization/Technical Committee on Traditional Chinese Medicine (ISO/TC249) has officially...

The release of a series of international standards covering diagnostic instruments such as tongue diagnosis devices for traditional Chinese medicine will effectively promote the international development of the traditional Chinese medicine industry.

The timely adoption of international standards will further promote the modernization and internationalization of traditional Chinese medicine.

GB/T 47335 is proposed to consist of two parts.

---Part 1: Tongue Appearance. The aim is to standardize and unify tongue diagnosis terminology to promote the modernization, informatization, and internationalization of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

And ensure clinical quality and safety.

---Part 2: Pulse Diagnosis. The aim is to standardize and unify pulse diagnosis terminology to promote the modernization, informatization, and internationalization of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

And ensure clinical quality and safety.

tongue center

The middle part of the tongue.

tongue root

The posterior part of the tongue, the part before the V-shaped groove.

tongue edge
