Features: On Febrile Diseases is one of the essential courses in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The core theoretical framework of its theory—Wai Qi Ying Xue (External Qi, Nutrient Qi, Blood) and San Jiao (Three Jiao) differential diagnostic theory—plays a significant guiding role in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of external febrile diseases and heat syndromes in various medical specialties. On Febrile Diseases elaborates on the holistic and dynamic perspectives in the diagnostic and treatment process of febrile diseases, as well as the thinking method that integrates theory, methods, and prescriptions. These aspects serve as a model for TCM clinical practice, making this book a must-read for learners seeking to master TCM's distinctive theoretical concepts and to cultivate the fundamental qualities of differential diagnosis and treatment in TCM.
To this end, when compiling this book, we adhered to the principle of "facilitating learning, serving clinical practice, distilling the essence, and keeping it concise and clear." Based on the fifth edition of the TCM university textbook on On Febrile Diseases, we explain the key content of the General Theory, Specific Diseases, and Selected Classics. To meet the needs of beginners in TCM, we organized this book into eight easy-to-understand must-read series, drawing on the experiences of renowned TCM masters who achieved success through selected reading materials. Combining the characteristics of current teaching materials and the teaching syllabus for five-year undergraduate programs, we categorized and compiled the content with the help of experts. This series covers both theory and clinical practice, offering a systematic and comprehensive approach, making it particularly suitable for beginners in TCM.
