Liver fibrosis is a common pathological stage in chronic liver disease， which belongs to “concretions and accumulations” and “hypochondriac pain” in traditional Chinese medicine. In the early and middle stages of chronic liver disease， the body cannot push the evil out due to the deficiency of right qi; after a long time， the right qi deficiency becomes even more severe. It is common to see the pattern of spleen qi deficiency， and it is consistent in the whole period of this disease. Currently， the effective prescriptions to treat liver fibrosis often contain some herbs with the function of “tonifying spleen”， “enriching qi” and “strengthening right”. Therefore， it is important to pay attention to tonifying spleen and strengthening right when treating liver fibrosis.
