关节痛

Guānjié tòng

Joint pain

Cultural Background

中文

在中医看来，关节痛可能与风寒湿邪入侵有关，也可能与脏腑功能失调有关。

中国人表达身体不适时，通常比较含蓄，不会直接说很严重，而是用一些委婉的词语。

拼音

zài zhōngyī kàn lái, guānjié tòng kěnéng yǔ fēng hán shī xié rùqīn yǒuguān, yě kěnéng yǔ zàngfǔ gōngnéng shīdiào yǒuguān。

English

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, joint pain may be related to the invasion of wind-cold-damp evil, or it may be related to the dysfunction of the viscera.

Chinese people usually express their discomfort in a relatively implicit way and would not directly say that it is serious, but use some euphemistic words instead.

The way pain is described might be less direct in comparison to other cultures, with a focus on overall well-being rather than just pinpoint symptoms.
