This book is a comprehensive medical text that begins with pulse theory, uses floating, sinking, slow, and rapid pulses as its framework, covers a wide range of diseases, details diagnostic methods, and provides prescriptions. Its arguments are insightful, easy to understand, and clearly explained, making it an excellent choice for beginners in traditional Chinese medicine. The current edition is based on the Qing Shunzhi nine-year (1652) printed version preserved in the Library of the China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, with annotations and using the "Great Compendium of Chinese Medicine" as the reference. It is available for reference by clinical practitioners of all specialties in traditional Chinese medicine.
