《古今医统》称王安道“学究天人，文章冠世，极深医源，直穷奥妙”。

《四库全书提要》称其“实能贯彻源流，非漫为大言以夸世者”。

这充分说明王氏之学于医学理论颇有造诣，其探讨医理强调对临床实践的指导作用，治学严谨，立论有据。著有《医经溯洄集》、《百病钩玄》、《医韵统》等，现唯有《医经溯洄集》行于世，是其代表作。

 1.意溢乎形

他所说的形，不是无意之形，而是“主乎意”之形。

2.“法在华山”和“艺匠就天”.

“法在华山”就i是古人说的“外师造化”，王履注重意而不轻形，他认为意由自己的思想得到华山的启发而立。

3.宗与不宗

对传统的借鉴，是继承，反传统而行其实也是一种继承，只是继承的角度不同罢了。

4.“去故而就新”

古人是人，能立家数，后人也是人，也应该立家数，不能“纸绢者辗转相承”，所以要.“去故而就新”。 《吴中先贤谱》 苏 文 编绘

5.庶免马首之络

强调画家要有自己鲜明的个性。

6.吾师心，心师目，目师华山

此语和前人所说“心师造化”、“外师造化，中的心源”相类。王履能根据自己的身心体会，用如此简洁、精辟的话语点出画理，非常难得，对后世产生积极影响。

 王履认为自然界的一切事物都是不断运动和变化的。但是这种运动变化，又有一定的规律，既不可运动太过，又不可运动不及，运动中对立的双方要相互协调，才能维持事物的存在，在人体则维持生命活动的正常运行。以人体言，五脏之气亦应正常而不过亢，才能发挥脏腑的正常功能。如果某脏气过亢，则破坏人体脏腑功能的协调，反而为病。每一气均有相应的他气来制约它，只是在其未亢之时不表现出来，仅是随之而已。只有当其过亢之时，才表现出制约之象。而医生治病，不过是帮助患者使其自我调节系统达到正常，以保持人体正常的生化功能而已。王氏十分重视运用亢害承制之理来说明人体自身的防病抗病能力，重视机体的内在调节，具有重要的实践意义。

 此外，就临床诊治思路而言，王履认为医生诊断疾病的方法，是根据当时的病情表现，诊断疾病，并依此来推断其病因，即所谓审症求因。而并非开始感受邪气时，即能预定其以后患什么病。因为感受邪气之后，有当时发病者，有过时发病者，还有因为正气抗邪而使邪气消散而不发病者。种种不同，不一定均患一样的病证。因此王氏重视“因病知原”，以病证推断病因，是十分正确的。

古人认为冬伤于寒，其感邪而即病者，即为伤寒；不即病者，过时而发于春夏者，即称为温病与暑病。由于认为病因是一样的，因此在王氏之前，人们多从伤寒论治，而以治伤寒之方通治伤寒与温暑之病。刘完素创六气化火之说，并称伤寒为热病。提出“热病只能作热治，不能从寒医”的观点。对王氏之学颇有影响。王安道根据临床的实际，指出伤寒与温暑之病应当分别，尤其对治疗方法的区别论述颇详。首先，王氏认为伤寒、温病、暑病三者不同，各自“有病因，有病名，有病形，辨其因，正其名，察其形，三者俱当，始可以言治矣。一或未明，而曰不误于人，吾未之信也。”王氏从三者之名称不同，病因各异，临床表现也不一致出发，因此治疗绝不能相同来认识。例如伤寒一病，是发于天气寒冷之际，寒邪在表，闭其腠理，故外现一派寒邪郁表而卫阳被遏的表现，治疗则必然应选用辛温之剂，否则不能散其寒邪。而温病、热病，则发病于天气喧热之时，怫热自内而达于外，郁于腠理，外无寒邪束表，因此治疗就宜用辛凉、苦寒之剂，否则不能解其热。

他认为，伤寒与温暑，病因虽同出一源，均为冬伤于寒而致，但是属不同类的疾病，不能混淆其治法。仲景之方为群方之祖，可借用其方，但仲景之方非为治温暑病证而设。王安道的这些看法，比起明清温病学家来，尚不十分深刻，其中，对温暑病的病因尚未超脱《内经》的理论范畴，但已从病的治法上将其分开，为后世温病学的发展有很大影响。此外，王履对于中风病亦提出了自己的看法，认为中风有二，有外感风邪者为真中风，而因火、因气、因痰而致者，属类中风，使中风的理论渐趋完善，对明清医家在此问题的发展有很大影响。

王履的医学主张，虽来源于朱丹溪，但却能发挥自己的独到见解，不拘前人之说，能以临床实践为依据，实事求是来探讨医理，是十分可贵的治学精神，对明清以后医学发展产生一定的影响。

 Wang Lu, the character of An Dao, the name of Abnormal Old Man and the name of Baodu Old Man, was born in the third year of Yuan to Shun (1332 A.D.). The year of death is unknown. The sixteen years of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (1383 A.D.) are still in existence. Kunshan (now Jiangsu) is a native of Wei Bo (now in Hebei Province). He is a physician, painter and poet from the end of Yuan Dynasty to the beginning of Ming Dynasty. He studied medicine in Zhudanxi and was a disciple of Zhu's. "Ancient and Modern Medical Unification" calls Wang Andao "a scholar of heaven and man, a world-renowned article, a profound source of medicine, a mysterious poverty". The summary of Siku Quanshu calls it "a person who can really carry out the origin and development, not a person who talks big and exaggerates the world". It fully demonstrates Wang's academic attainments in medical theory. His exploration of medical theory emphasizes the guiding role in clinical practice. His academic research is rigorous and his arguments are well founded. His works include The Retrospective Collection of Medical Classics, The Uncovering of All Diseases, and The Medical Rhyme Collection. At present, only The Retrospective Collection of Medical Classics has been published, which is his representative work.

Wang Lu believes that everything in nature is constantly moving and changing. However, this kind of movement has certain regularity, neither too much movement nor too little movement. Only when the opposing parties in the movement coordinate with each other, can they maintain the existence of things and the normal operation of life activities in the human body. In human terms, the Qi of the five zang organs should be normal but not excessive, so as to play the normal function of the Zang organs. If some Zang-qi is excessive, it will destroy the coordination of the functions of the viscera and organs of the human body, and on the contrary, it will become a disease. Each Qi has its corresponding other Qi to restrict it, but it does not show when it is not hyperactive, just follow it. Only when it is over-active can it show restraint. Doctors treat illnesses by helping patients achieve normal self-regulation system in order to maintain normal biochemical functions of the human body. Wang attaches great importance to the use of the theory of excessive damage control to illustrate the human body's own disease prevention and disease resistance ability, and attaches great importance to the internal regulation of the body, which has important practical significance.
