Features: This book is a reference for beginners of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). To help beginners understand the system of TCM, it is divided into four parts: Theory, Method, Formulas, and Medicines. It sequentially explains the basic theories, physiology, etiology, diagnostic methods, treatment principles, as well as the composition and application of formulas and medicinal herbs. Since the purpose of writing this book is to give readers a preliminary concept of the basic spirit and methods of TCM treatment after studying it, a detailed explanation of the medical characteristics of TCM—“Differentiation and Treatment of Syndromes” (Bian Zheng Lun Zhi)—is provided. It can serve as an introductory reading for current learners of TCM. For this publication, the terms such as “Differentiation” and “Syndrome” in the book remain unchanged to facilitate learning.
