Features: "This book is a collection of practical experiences from Professor Liu Bichen, known as the 'King of Eastern Pediatrics' and the 'Father of TCM Pediatrics,' who has been engaged in medical practice, teaching, and research for over 60 years. From scattered classical pediatric texts, the book selects 236 poems and lyrics, 216 fu essays, and 16 articles divided into three parts: [Upper], [Middle], and [Lower], titled Classics of TCM Pediatrics. The book is particularly representative in pediatric syndrome differentiation and treatment, prescription selection, and medication use. Regarding the ability to observe subtle changes and make prognostic judgments, it also offers profound insights. Poetry and fu are unique literary and artistic forms in China, combining both rhythm and singing. Many ancient physicians preferred this genre to discuss the etiology, pathogenesis, and treatment experiences of various diseases, embodying the principle that 'literature is the foundation and medicine is the building.' The book uses simple language to annotate and translate the original text, facilitating reading. This is an extremely rare and valuable resource that fully reflects Professor Liu's contributions to TCM pediatrics. It serves as a valuable required textbook for researchers, educators, and students of pediatric TCM, especially for postgraduate students in higher TCM universities and colleges. It plays the role of sparking inspiration and guiding future generations."
