Abstract: Childhood short stature is mostly caused by insufficient cong enital endowment and improper nutrition later on, and the key pathogenesis is the spleen and kidney insufficiency. At present, recombinant human growth hormones are used most often for the treatment of short stature in western medicine, and the treatment plan is relatively simple. Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) has obvious effects in the treatment of short stature based on syndrome differentiation, which can effectively improve children's growth rate and regulate physical fitness. Based on the clinical experience of Professor Zhang Guiju and the theory of "Yang transforming qi and yin shaping stature" it is believed that childhood short stature is closely related to the insufficiency of "Yin shaping stature". Yin essence plays an important role in the growth and development of the human body. Children can gradually grow taller and stronger if the function of "Yin shaping stature" is normal. On the contrary, insufficiency in "Yin shaping stature" will lead to delayed growth and short stature in children. Therefore, in the treatment of childhood short stature, it is necessary to add yin-nourishing Chinese medicines based on syndrome differentiation, such as Radix rehmanniae praeparata, Cornus officina, yam, Fructus lycii, Polygonatum kingianum, Polygonatum odoratum, lily, etc. Such medicines contain a variety of effective ingredients, which can not only supplement the nutrients needed by the human body, but also have a variety of effects such as regulating immunity and protecting the internal organs. In addition, spleen-strengthening and digestion-assisting drugs should be added to the prescription to protect the spleen and stomach and prevent getting too greasy.
