This paper deals with the importance and necessity of establishing measuring scale for clinical determination of the etiology of heat accumulation.Based on the characteristics of TCM etiology and the formulation of the modern survival quality measuring scale and psychology measuring scale,an analysis was made on the ways of formulation of the measuring scale throughout the country.Heat accumulation is present in various intractable diseases such as hemorrhagic diseases,epidemic hemorrhagic fever,acute renal failure,bronchiectasis,systemic lupus erythromatosis,severe hepatitis,chronic hepatitis B,etc.,and appears as specific sub-symptoms in certain diseases.The laying and multidimension manifested by heat accumulation reflect the complexity in the formulation of TCM heat accumulation measuring scale.Under the guidance of the nationwide famous TCM doctor ZHOU Zhong-ying,an initial attempt was made in this study to use measuring scale to explore into the quantitative measurement of heat accumulation,so as to provide clues for the concretization and objectification of the etiology of heat accumulation.
