Features: Among the vast medical literature, there are many pearls of wisdom from renowned physicians and scholars. Adhering to the principle of "incorporating both ancient and modern knowledge, innovating while preserving the essence, simplifying the complex, and emphasizing scientific and practical applications," we have compiled and edited the "Practical Handbook of TCM Quotations." This book is divided into 10 sections: Internal Medicine, Surgery, Orthopedics, Gynecology, Pediatrics, Acupuncture and Moxibustion, Tuina, Cold Damage, Golden Cabinet, and Warm Disease. The clinical sections are organized according to the disease and symptom order in the National General Higher Education TCM Curriculum (6th Edition). The quotations are categorized by disease and symptom, with the guidance of practical applications. The classic works are presented in the order of Cold Damage, Golden Cabinet, and Warm Disease, while the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon is reflected across all sections without a dedicated section. It covers 185 disease types and selects nearly 500 quotations from ancient and modern sources. Each prescription is presented with "Source," "Analysis," and "Application," striving for verifiable sources, concise analysis, and up-to-date practicality.
