Features: This book follows the chapter structure of the original Principles of Surgery, consisting of seven volumes of content and one volume of prescriptions. Each section is accompanied by word definitions and explanations. The book uses numerous examples of clinical successes and failures from predecessors and the original author to thoroughly elucidate the etiology, pathology, treatment principles, and methods for surgical conditions such as carbuncles, sores, abscesses, and ulcers. It advocates the principle of "surgery must be rooted in the internal, seek the external through understanding the internal." In specific treatments, it emphasizes regulating the vital energy first, avoiding the hasty use of cooling or draining medications, and striving to resolve sores before they fully form. After abscess formation, it advocates timely needle drainage and attention to replenishing qi and blood. The reasoning is rigorous, the treatment discussions are accessible, making it easy for readers to learn and reference. It serves as an important reference for teaching, research, and clinical practice in both ancient and modern surgery.
