Features: The Treatise on Cold Damage 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 The Treatise on Cold Damage 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, remarks, and summaries, with a focus on interpreting and understanding the original text of The Treatise on Cold Damage. At the same time, it supplements and improves the scope of application and case studies, comprehensively explaining the use of the prescription from three perspectives: Zhang Jing's use of the prescription, later generations' use of the prescription, and modern applications, thereby enriching the application range of ancient prescriptions. It aims to help readers, after understanding and mastering the content, expand their thinking and flexibly apply the canonical formulas, truly grasping the essence of The Treatise on Cold Damage. At the end of the book, an appendix is included, featuring a conversion table for ancient and modern dosages, mock questions and answers, a bibliography index, and a prescription index, for easy reference. This book is reasonably sourced, accurately explained, and clearly structured, making it an essential reference for TCM university teachers and students. It can also be used by researchers and clinical doctors to further enhance their academic level and broaden their research perspectives.
