Disease is the root, skill is the target; knowing the white while guarding the black, widely drawing from the strengths of others, and cautiously deliberating—this is the code of medicine and scholarship for the Xu family.
This book is a summary of Master Xu's lifelong clinical experience.
Master Xu was a renowned clinical expert in traditional Chinese medicine in Shanxi, studying under Master Ma Wenbing and adhering to the teachings of Zhang Zhongjing and Jing Yue. His differential diagnosis highly esteemed Cheng Guoping and Jiang Bihua.
The late Master was a general practitioner, particularly skilled in treating kidney diseases, stomach and spleen disorders, and gynecological conditions. Over the decades, he has saved countless critically ill and chronic patients with difficult-to-treat diseases.
His medication is bold yet meticulous, wise in thought and decisive in action. He often saves critical conditions with small doses, achieving the effect of "lifting a thousand pounds with four ounces." He prescribes common formulas to cure severe illnesses, achieving remarkable effects despite their simplicity.
Every disease, symptom, formula, and herb in the book can inspire future generations and serve as a valuable reference.
