[The construction of gan zhu shuxie (liver controlling conveyance and dispersion), as viewed from the contemporary teaching material of basic theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine].
In current teaching material of basic theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the theory of "liver controlling conveyance and dispersion" covers the functional adjustment of many aspects, including the overall human physiology, digestion, mental activity, blood circulation, water metabolism and reproduction. Through the research of the teaching material of TCM basic theory since the establishment of the People's Republic of China, it can be considered that there are 3 stages for the construction of the theory of "liver controlling conveyance and dispersion". From the 1950s to 1970s, this theory was not mentioned in any teaching materials; from the 1970s to the mid 1980s, different views about this theory can be seen in the teaching materials; after the mid 1980s, this theory in the teaching materials became gradually basically identical.
