Abstract
The naming factors of the representative infectious diseases in Treatise on Cold Pathogenic and Miscellaneous Diseases are various, mainly according to the cause, time and symptoms of the disease. From the perspective of cognitive linguistics, these names are mostly named by metaphor and metonymy. The types of metaphors are mainly abiotic metaphors, plant metaphors and animal metaphors, while metonymy highlights the key features. This reflects the wisdom of the ancients to transform abstract pathological phenomena into concrete perceptions. This naming principle not only highlights the essence of TCM culture, but also promotes the inheritance and development of TCM theories.
