Features: This textbook is closely centered around the teaching objective of cultivating reading skills, primarily composed of three parts. The first part is the selected readings, which includes forty classical Chinese texts from the pre-Qin to the Qing Dynasty. The selection criteria are content related to medicine, rich in both content and logic, clear and easy in medical principles, with appropriate emphasis on increasing the difficulty and length of the texts. Divided into five units by genre, the articles within the same unit are arranged in order of increasing difficulty, with one or two unmarked texts placed at the end of each unit to facilitate progressive learning and strengthen the training of reading classical Chinese without punctuation. The second part is reading guidance, introducing knowledge and methods directly helpful in improving reading skills, totaling six chapters. The content does not aim for exhaustive systematic coverage but focuses on providing practical and effective guidance for reading. The third part is reading practice, including practice exercises after each chapter, totaling forty-six sets. The main content involves highlighting the key points of each chapter, providing reading materials, and emphasizing the assessment of word annotations, sentence segmentation, and modern translations. Additionally, to broaden knowledge, the appendix includes "Ancient Cultural Knowledge Related to Traditional Chinese Medicine and Pharmaceutical Literature," as well as the "Simplified and Traditional Character " and the "Table of Variant Characters."
