We take the regional school as an example. The representative schools are Sichuan Traditional Chinese Medicine School (or Bashu School), Qiantang School in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Meng He School in Guangdong, Shanghai School, Xin 'an School, Qilu School and Huxiang School. Each regional faction has an academic feature, showing its own characteristics.
For example, the medical college in Shanghai, due to the geographical climate, is deeply influenced by the academic thinking of febrile disease doctors, and the medication is mainly light and wet.
Sichuan College of Traditional Chinese Medicine is located in Sichuan Basin, with humid climate and relatively little sunshine. Acupoint selection is based on the principle of pungent warming, eliminating dampness and supporting yang. In clinical practice, more attention is paid to the protection of yang, and the deficiency of natural yang is made up by the yang at acupoints.
