Features: The late renowned Jiangnan physician, Master Cheng Muxue, was a disciple of Ding Ganren of the Menghe School. Possessing extensive knowledge and meticulous syndrome differentiation, Master Cheng practiced medicine for over fifty years, leaving behind 168 case studies and summarizing the core of his academic thoughts. The selected cases cover common and prevalent internal medicine conditions, as well as gynecology, pediatrics, ophthalmology, otolaryngology, and dermatology, including some difficult and severe cases. The book comprehensively reflects Master Cheng's ability to clearly identify syndrome etiology, discern underlying issues, adapt treatments flexibly, and maintain a well-structured approach. His prescriptions are precise yet concise, with a preference for light and refined herbal use, blending classical and contemporary formulas. Clinicians will find this a valuable reference for research and practice, yielding significant benefits. The "Introduction to the Academic Thoughts of Cheng Muxue" was recently provided by Professor Dong Qisheng of the Shanghai Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine Library to commemorate the centennial of Master Cheng's birth.
