The experience of ancient physicians includes Wang Lun's "For those with lost ambition and impotence, it is best to relieve depression," Zhang Jingyue's "On the treatment of impotence," Ye Tianshi's "Analysis of cases of impotence," etc. The experience of modern physicians includes Shi Chunrong's "To raise impotence and revitalize, one must possess compassion; open up and dispel blockages with the formula of insects and ants," Zhang Xiaochu's "Regulate the brain to raise impotence, open the three to benefit the essential sinews," etc.
1. Golden Mirror of Famous Physicians in Ancient and Modern Times for Clinical Practice, aims to select experiences from ancient and modern clinicians in traditional Chinese medicine that are beneficial for clinical practice, serving as references for clinicians. Following this standard, the selection of ancient literature primarily focuses on the Ming and Qing dynasties.
2. Organization Structure: Each volume begins with ancient literature, followed by modern works (those still living in 1949 are included as modern physicians). Under this, diseases are listed, and the experiences of various physicians are elaborated. Ancient physicians are generally arranged by birth and death dates. Under each disease, systematic discussions come first, followed by medical conversations and case studies. Some theoretical discussions are placed at the beginning if their content is not suitable to be placed later. The experiences of various physicians under each disease are mostly a single article. In cases where several physicians cannot be covered in one article, they are not merged.
3. Famous Physicians: All physicians included in each volume are renowned experts, and introductions are concise. Occasionally, some may lack birth and death records, leaving gaps for which we apologize.
4. Sources and Editors: All sources and editors are listed at the end of the text. Those not listed were either self-authored by the elderly or omitted due to missing information or transcription errors. We kindly ask for your understanding.
5. Ancient Literature: The principle is to preserve the original form of ancient texts. In cases where the format is unclear, minor adjustments are made. Some texts are excerpts from the original works, focusing on practicality to avoid repetition and highlight key points.
6. Measurement Units: Ancient texts strictly follow traditional units, while modern texts use legal units. This dual system is due to practical reasons.
7. Prescriptions: Each ancient physician has unique writing styles. While efforts are made to standardize drug names, maintaining the original style is prioritized to avoid disrupting the original style.
8. Revisions and Reorganizations: Some elderly scholars were invited to revise or reorganize the text to highlight key points, making the main ideas clear and fresh. In cases where the text was disorganized, it was restructured to clarify the meaning, like cutting through the fog to reveal the moon.
