Schistosomiasis is a modern disease name, but it has been widespread in ancient China and exists in a specific form in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) . The purpose of the paper is to make clear the existing form of schistosomiasis in TCM and infer the prevalence of schistosomiasis in ancient China. The paper focuses on the period when great progress was made on schistosomiasis by TCM, and sums up the understanding of TCM toward schistosomiasis in this period. By studying and analyzing the literature of schistosomiasis in this period, the paper tries to find out the representative Chinese medicine symptom description and TCM "other name" of schistosomiasis, so as to accurately judge whether the relevant description in ancient TCM books and historical documents can provide scientific basis for schistosomiasis. It is important to understand the prevalence and cognition of schistosomiasis in ancient China.
血吸虫病是一个现代疾病名称，但在中国古代就已广泛存在，并以特定形式存在于中医之中。本文旨在明确血吸虫病在中医中的存在形式，并推断中国古代血吸虫病的流行情况。本文聚焦于中医在血吸虫病研究方面取得重大进展的时期，总结这一时期中医对血吸虫病的认识。通过研究分析这一时期血吸虫病的文献，试图找出血吸虫病具有代表性的中医症状描述和中医“别名”，以便准确判断古代中医典籍和历史文献中的相关描述能否为血吸虫病提供科学依据。了解中国古代血吸虫病的流行情况和认知情况具有重要意义。
