In the clinical treatment of febrile diseases and miscellaneous diseases， the foundation was laid for the clinical prescription and medication of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）， and there are innovations in the methods of prescription and medication in ancient and modern times. The differences in depth and breadth in the understanding of diseases， syndromes and symptoms between ancient and modern times also influence the prescription and medication. Therefore， Chinese medicine should not only inherit the tradition， but also innovate incessantly when encountering various modern clinical situations.
