Features: Textbooks for medical schools differ from reference books. This textbook possesses ideological depth, scientific rigor, advanced concepts, inspirational qualities, and practical applicability. During the writing process, in addition to updating content, the following features are particularly highlighted:
1. Accurate concepts, novel content, rigorous arguments, simplified narration of non-key points, and concise length. The writing style is clear and concise, making it easy for students to read. The book is divided into two parts: basic content and reference material. The reference material is written in 5-point FangSong font, providing students with self-study resources to expand their thinking.
2. This textbook is a compulsory foundational course for students of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) schools. The selection of content fully reflects its practicality. Content covered in other disciplines is avoided to prevent repetition, emphasizing the unique knowledge structure of this subject and laying a solid foundation for other basic medical and clinical medical disciplines.
3. Further highlights the characteristics of TCM. To spark student interest and broaden their knowledge, international methods commonly used in basic medical textbooks are adopted. Independent insert boxes are added after certain chapters, containing TCM-related knowledge or new research findings relevant to the chapter. The content of these boxes does not require mastery but aims to inspire critical thinking.
4. Emphasizes the morphological and structural features of the textbook. Thirty color light microscopy photographs and eleven electron microscopy photographs are added, printed on copperplate paper with clear images, facilitating student learning.
5. Additional features include "Key Reference Books and Journals" and "English-Chinese Glossary of Common Histology and Embryology Terms," providing teachers with teaching resources and students with self-study references, and laying the foundation for bilingual teaching.
