Features: This book is a summary of the author's research on the syndrome differentiation and treatment of external pathogens in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It is divided into four chapters. Chapter 1 briefly describes the meaning, classification, and pathogenic characteristics of external pathogens. Chapter 2 introduces the etiology of external pathogens, proposing a new concept of the "Six Evils" (wind, heat, dampness, dryness, cold, and pestilence), emphasizing that "fire" is not an external pathogen. Chapter 3 introduces the syndrome differentiation and treatment of external pathogens—the Five-Stage Differentiation Method. Building on the experience of predecessors, it proposes a unified syndrome differentiation framework for cold and heat, making it more applicable to clinical practice.

The book is thematic, easy to grasp, and convenient to apply. It is highly practical; the language is concise and focused; the therapeutic effects are proven and reproducible.
