Features: This book includes all the prescriptions from the teaching materials of traditional Chinese medicine pharmacology in higher medical colleges across the country, as well as some prescriptions that are not covered in pharmacology textbooks but have proven effective in clinical practice, totaling over 560 prescriptions. For the convenience of readers, all prescriptions are annotated with their sources, and the chapter divisions are largely consistent with those of pharmacology textbooks. The book also includes approximately 350 prescriptions in the form of rhyming couplets. For prescriptions with rhyming couplets, the presentation follows the order of listing the prescription name first, followed by the couplets and their explanations. Some prescriptions also include appendices. The couplets primarily summarize the medicinal ingredients and their effects in various forms, while being concise, engaging, rhythmically standardized, easy to remember, and easy to recite. The explanations provide a brief overview of the ingredients, functions, and main applications of each prescription. The appendices offer concise introductions or comparisons of some derivative and similar prescriptions, aiding in their differentiation and study. To help readers understand the relationships between prescriptions, deepen their comprehension and memory, and facilitate easy reference, the book also includes a summary of the evolution of basic prescriptions and a prescription index at the end.
