Li Dongyuan

His main works include Spleen and Stomach, Internal Injury and Trauma, Medical Model, Medical Invention, Shi Lan's Secret Collection, Yao Yao's Living Hair, etc.
Learning from Zhang is one of the "Four Masters in Jin and Yuan Dynasties" in Chinese medical history, belonging to the Yi School and the founder of the "Spleen and Stomach Theory" of traditional Chinese medicine. Li Dongyuan emphasized the important role of the spleen and stomach in the human body, because the spleen and stomach belong to the middle earth in the five elements, so Li Dongyuan's theory is also called "the school of tonifying the soil".
The core of Li Dongyuan's theory of spleen and stomach is: "Internal injury of spleen and stomach leads to all diseases." This is similar to the saying in Neijing that "the stomach qi leads to life, and the stomach qi leads to death", which emphasizes the role of stomach qi. At the same time, he also systematically divided internal diseases into two categories: exogenous diseases and internal injuries, which has a strong guiding significance for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
