Hi All,

 

See the Characters for " Jianchuang " at http://tinyurl.com/arzeat :

 

Assuming that " Chuang " means skin sore / ulcer, what does the term

" Jian " mean in the phrases below.

 

Hufu Jianchuang Protect Skin + ??Sword skin sores / ulcers

Very interesting question.

 

There are two words look very similar to each other: " 敛 " (Lian) and " 剑 "

(Jian)。Lian means converge, shrink, or reduce. To me, it makes more sense

when it is used with the word " chuang " (ulcer) then " Jian " . So this could be

a pronouncation of a typo?

 

The phrase " 剑疮 " (Jian-Chuang) is very seldom used, on the other hand,

" 敛疮 "

(Lian-Chuang) is very commonly seen in TCM discussion.

Jian is a sword. There's lot's of kung-fu styles that reference jian. Here

" jian " appears to used as a verb, as in to jian chuang. To cut out or resolve.

It just looks like the verb used with chuang for healing purposes, just as zao

(dry) is the verb used to address shi (dampness).
