Features: Pulse Diagnosis of Bianhu was compiled by Li Shizhen, a renowned medical scientist of the Ming Dynasty. Li collected the essence of various theories on pulse diagnosis and summarized them into 27 pulse types. He also composed rhyming couplets to describe pulse types, their differentiation from similar pulses, and the diseases they indicate. These couplets are easy to read, memorize, and recall, making them an excellent learning resource for later generations of pulse diagnosis practitioners. They have been highly regarded by medical practitioners throughout history. However, due to the limitations of rhyming couplets, the text is concise and can be difficult to fully grasp. To facilitate learning, the People's Medical Publishing House published Pulse Diagnosis of Bianhu in Plain Language in the 1960s. This book has been widely acclaimed by readers and has gone through 24 printings in its second edition, with over 3 million copies in circulation. To meet the needs of modern readers, the Basic TCM Teaching and Research Office of Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine has revised this book for its third edition. The new edition restores the original text while providing clear and accessible translations, making it even easier for readers to learn and memorize. It serves as an excellent guide for beginners of TCM and Western medicine practitioners seeking to learn TCM.
