[Evolution of the concept of wind stroke of Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM)].
The wind stroke is a common syndrome in clinical disease; the physicians of past generations accumulated much experience in long-term clinical practice and left abundant literature. Looking from this literature, the physicians of past generations had different cognitions of the wind stroke, especially the concept of wind stroke. The connotation of wind stroke differed at different stages, going through a gradually changing process from exogenous disease, true wind stroke, apoplectic wind stroke to cerebral apoplexy.
