Features: Compared to previous similar textbooks, this teaching material has significant innovations. Traditional TCM literature textbooks mainly introduce the methods of organizing ancient medical texts. The target audience of this teaching material is mainly undergraduate students of TCM, who generally do not specialize in the organization of ancient medical texts after graduation. Therefore, the knowledge related to the organization of ancient medical texts is not presented in excessive depth or detail in this textbook, but rather focuses on explaining the sources of various TCM literature, especially clinical literature, in a relatively larger proportion. It also briefly introduces the content, characteristics, and academic achievements of important medical works, enabling students to have a thorough understanding of the sources of various TCM literature and the basic literature of each discipline. This helps them to utilize ancient and modern TCM literature with ease and proficiency. This plays an important role in improving students' ability to utilize and research literature, strengthening their foundation in literature, and expanding their knowledge. In terms of writing style, this textbook also has some innovations, mainly manifested in the following aspects: 1. Investigating the sources of literature; 2. Adopting mutual reference and differentiation; 3. Emphasizing practical value. In summary, the features of this textbook are: emphasis on literature utilization, simplification of organization knowledge, investigation of literature sources, and emphasis on practical value.
