It has a relatively systematic theoretical system for syndrome differentiation and treatment, serving as the foundation for various clinical disciplines. This book mainly introduces the basic theories of Traditional Chinese Medicine Internal Medicine, the fundamental knowledge of common internal medicine syndromes, and the principles of syndrome differentiation and treatment. The book is divided into two parts: General Principles and Specific Syndromes. The General Principles primarily describe the classification and characteristics of internal medicine diseases, the steps and basic requirements of syndrome differentiation and treatment, as well as the treatment principles and common treatment methods of Traditional Chinese Medicine Internal Medicine. The Specific Syndromes, based on Traditional Chinese Medicine theory, are divided into eight chapters: Lung System Syndromes, Heart System Syndromes, Qi, Blood, and Body Fluids Syndromes, Whole Body and Limb Syndromes, and Other Syndromes. Each chapter introduces 47 common clinical syndromes, covering their basic concepts, main etiology and pathogenesis, diagnostic key points, syndrome differentiation and treatment, and other treatment methods. The other treatment methods primarily introduce commonly used traditional Chinese medicine preparations, single formulas, and various external treatment methods. Knowledge related to acupuncture, massage, and health preservation and rehabilitation is covered in separate specialized books and is not elaborated on here.
