Features: Shanghan Lun is a mandatory course for learning Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and serves as a bridge from basic theory to clinical practice. Teaching, understanding, and applying Shanghan Lun are crucial for TCM practitioners. The purpose of this book is precisely this. It is composed of three parts: the Upper Part, the Lower Part, and the Appendix. Written collaboratively by experienced experts and professors who have long been engaged in teaching, this book is based on the previous edition, preserving and enriching the essential content that teachers must teach and students must learn, such as: original text, terminology, explanations, key analysis, selected annotations, prescriptions, prescription discussions, comments, and summaries, with a focus on interpreting and understanding the original text of Shanghan Lun. At the same time, it supplements and improves the scope of application and case studies, comprehensively explaining the use of the prescriptions from Zhang Zhongjing's perspective, the use by later generations of physicians, and modern applications, thereby expanding the range of ancient prescriptions. This aims to help readers, after grasping and mastering the text, develop their thinking and flexibly apply the classical formulas, truly mastering the essence of Shanghan Lun. At the end of the book, an appendix is included with tables for converting ancient and modern dosages, mock tests with answers, a bibliography index, and a prescription index, for easy reference. This book is reasonably compiled, accurately explained, and clearly structured, making it an essential reference for TCM university teachers and students. It can also serve as a reference for researchers and clinical doctors to further improve their academic level and broaden their research perspectives.
