Features: The book is divided into two parts: General Theory and Specific Topics. The General Theory consists of two chapters. Chapter 1 Introduction introduces the theory, origin, and development of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), as well as the classification, naming, and characteristics of internal medicine diseases in TCM. Chapter 2 Outline of Syndrome Differentiation and Treatment in TCM Internal Medicine introduces the principles of syndrome differentiation and treatment for internal medicine diseases, as well as an overview of the differentiation and treatment of external pathogens (the Six Evils), internal pathogens (the Five Qi), zang-fu organ syndromes, and qi, blood, and body fluids. The Specific Topics are divided into seven chapters, arranged in the order of lung system, heart system, spleen and stomach system, liver and gallbladder, kidney system, qi, blood, and body fluids, and limb and meridian syndromes. Each syndrome is accompanied by sections such as Overview, Etiology and Pathogenesis, Key Diagnostic Points, Syndrome Differentiation and Treatment, Prevention and Nursing Care, Conclusion, Clinical Essentials, Case Studies, and Literature Summary. At the end of the book, there are common prescriptions and reference bibliographies for easy reference. This book focuses on syndrome differentiation and treatment, proposing key points for syndrome differentiation, treatment principles, and syndrome-treatment classification. The prescriptions and treatments are closely aligned with clinical practice, prioritizing practical and clinically effective content with clear advantages in TCM. A new section on the General Pathogenesis of Syndromes has been added to help students grasp the pathogenic characteristics of each syndrome, thereby improving their ability to perform syndrome differentiation in medical records.
