Features: This dictionary is a comprehensive reference work designed for students of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in higher and secondary vocational colleges, as well as for a wide range of intermediate and advanced TCM professionals. It includes 13,400 entries on basic theories of TCM, clinical disciplines, acupuncture and moxibustion, Chinese herbal medicine, formulas, medical figures, and literature, among other areas—basic, commonly used, and important terms (including supplementary entries). The selection of terms aims to fully and systematically reflect the actual content of the vast treasure trove of Chinese medicine, while also including a small number of newly emerging terms in the development of modern TCM and terms related to the integration of Chinese and Western medicine. Each entry is accompanied by references for verification. At the end of the book, a conversion table for historical units of measurement is provided for reference.
