Features: What is the essence and of Traditional Chinese Medicine theory? How did the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon use logic and methods to organize and elevate the long-term medical experience of the Chinese nation into Traditional Chinese Medicine theory during the pre-Qin to Qin-Han period? This book employs a unified approach of logic and history to dismantle the external form of Traditional Chinese Medicine theory, revealing its essence, characteristics, and in the form of categories. It organizes the theory by identifying the concepts and categories that form the network of the theoretical system, explores the formation, precise meaning, and role of these categories within the Traditional Chinese Medicine theoretical system, examines the theoretical propositions derived from these categories, the methods infused into them, and the empirical facts that constitute their network. Furthermore, it discusses the order and relationships among these categories and explores how to promote the movement and transformation of these concepts and categories, ensuring that Traditional Chinese Medicine theory keeps pace with the times. This is the first systematic study of the categories and system of Traditional Chinese Medicine theory since the publication of the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon.
