Features: Jin Gui Yao Lue is the section on miscellaneous diseases from Shang Han Za Bing Lun written by Zhang Zhongjing. It is the origin of prescription books and the cornerstone for treating miscellaneous diseases. As the ancients said, "If one cannot be a good prime minister, they should be a good doctor. A prime minister must read the books of sages, and a doctor must learn the techniques of the sage doctor." Zhang Zhongjing, in the realm of medicine, is like Confucius in the realm of Confucianism. To promote the theory of Zhang Zhongjing, Zhang accumulated 30 years of experience in reading, teaching, and clinical practice, with the aim of elucidating the principles of the classics, completing Jin Gui Yao Lue Zhu Shi. This book "conducts meticulous collation and etymological research, detailed and thorough; provides concise and clear explanations; the annotations are insightful and offer further development; the selected notes are appropriate and representative. The supplementary articles broaden perspectives, seeking truth and pragmatism." This book is not only an important reference for teachers and students of traditional Chinese medicine colleges to study and research Jin Gui Yao Lue, but also a must-read for those seeking advanced knowledge in traditional Chinese medicine.
