Abstract
The evolution of the relationship between form and spirit ("five viscera storing spirit" - "five numen viscera") has had a profound impact on later medicine. The "five numen viscera" is based on the basis of "reserving essence and qi", and emphasizes the role of "spirit", which is closely related to the human mind, thinking, movement, etc. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurological disorder in childhood, and the pathogenesis of TCM is attributed to the "five viscera losting spirit". Based on the theory of "five numen viscera", this paper systematically explains the significance of the theory of "five numen viscera" in the diagnosis and treatment of ADHD in children from four aspects: the development and evolution of "five numen viscera" , the relationship between "five numen viscera" and ADHD in children, the treatment of ADHD by "five numen viscera" in Xu's pediatrics, and examples of typical cases, in order to understand the true meaning of the doctrine of "five numen viscera" in the Nei Jing, and to enhance the theoretical value of classical Chinese medicine in the identification and treatment of pediatric diseases.
