The theory of "state-target identification" was firstly proposed by academician Tong Xiaolin, and then Professor Xiong Hui organically combined the "macro-identification" of Chinese medicine with the "micro-targeting" of modern medicine. Combined with modern medical research, it is believed that in the acute stage of gouty arthritis, the entry point of treatment should be the adjustment of "damp-heat state" and "damp-heat state", and the treatment should be carried out by adding and subtracting "target formula" such as Si Miao San, and by using Target medicines such as Astragalus, Chicken Blood Vine, Poria cocos, etc. can be used to accurately "hit the target" for the "symptomatic target" and "target". The use of "target drugs" such as astragalus, chicken blood vine and tu fu ling to achieve precise "targeting" and "targeting" of "symptoms" and "targets" provides ideas for the use of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of gouty arthritis in the acute stage.
