As a diagnostic method to guide the treatment of sinew/fascia diseases, jingjin (muscle regions of meridians) differentiation is an important component of syndrome differentiation system of acupuncture and moxibustion. In clinical practice, because of the limitations of the ideological guidance of the holistic view, the systemic and dialectical thinking and the syndrome element collection, the system of diagnosis and treatment of sinew/fascia diseases is not comprehensive. Through combing the origin of the holistic view of jingjin, the paper expounds the differentiation framework of sinew/fascia diseases from 4 aspects of differentiation, i.e. the location of disease, etiology, nature of disease and condition of disease. It suggests to construct jingjin differentiation system by taking the holistic ideas as the core, the syndrome element research as the common method and the evidence-based medicine as the theoretical basis so that the thinking of syndrome differentiation and the diagnostic approaches based on jingjin theory can be enriched.
经筋辨证作为指导经筋病治疗的方法，是针灸学辨证体系的重要组成部分，临床对于经筋病的治疗常因缺乏整体观的思想指引、系统性的辨证思维以及完备化的证素采集导致诊疗体系不够全面。通过梳理经筋整体观的渊源，从辨病位、辨病因、辨病性和辨病势4个方面阐述经筋病的辨证框架，并提出构建以整体观念为核心思想、证素研究为共性方法、循证医学为理论依据的经筋辨证体系，丰富了经筋理论的辨证思路和诊病思维。.
