Features: The book consists of 24 chapters, selecting approximately 419 prescriptions and covering about 300,000 words. The writing style features: organizing chapters around modern disease names as the framework and selected treatment prescriptions as the focus. Each disease is given a dedicated chapter, which is divided into five sections: overview, key symptom and representative prescriptions, selected classic prescriptions, collection of practical prescriptions, and the editor's notes. In terms of discussing prescriptions and diseases, the book combines the strengths of both formula (specialized books on prescriptions) and clinical (specialized books on clinical practice), while also addressing their respective weaknesses. For instance, general formula often focus more on discussing prescriptions but less on syndrome differentiation, whereas clinical tend to focus more on syndrome differentiation but less on prescription explanations. This book integrates both aspects, combining diagnosis and treatment, and harmoniously blends theory, method, prescription, and medicine. It is designed to be clear and easy to understand, allowing readers to apply the knowledge flexibly. In terms of language and content, it is concise and profound, balanced in perspective, accessible to both experts and lay readers, highlighting traditional Chinese medicine while appropriately incorporating Western concepts. The aim is to make the book understandable and applicable to both Chinese and Western medical professionals, so that high-level practitioners do not find it too simplistic, and junior and mid-level medical staff do not find it overly complex.
