Features: This book adopts modern medical disease names and their classification methods. It covers approximately 570 diseases, divided into nine sections. The first section is General Principles; the second section is Internal Medicine Diseases; the third section is Gynecological Diseases; the fourth section is Pediatric Diseases; the fifth section is Surgical Diseases; the sixth section is Otolaryngology, Head and Neck, and Oral Diseases; the seventh section is Ophthalmic Diseases; the eighth section is Traditional Chinese Medicine Geriatrics; and the ninth section is Japanese and Korean Traditional Medical Diagnostic Experiences. The appendix introduces normal values of modern medical clinical laboratory tests, the diagnostic criteria for the five zang organs, references for the pharmacological research of modern Chinese medicine, and references for the application of new Chinese medicine preparations, for easy reference. The book follows the principle of "combining symptoms and signs," explaining the clinical manifestations and detection results of diseases in various modern medical disciplines from the perspective of TCM diagnosis and treatment. It focuses less on theoretical understanding and more on specific treatment methods and related management measures. The book largely adopts the staging and classification of modern medicine for various diseases, aiming to closely align with TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment, thereby better fitting modern clinical practice. In terms of treatment methods, the author prioritizes effective and practical methods based on extensive personal experience, while also referencing modern clinical reports. For certain diseases or specific stages where the author's experience is less extensive than reported by others, various approaches are cited without restriction, always prioritizing the best current options. For diseases where TCM treatment is currently ineffective or uncertain, the book objectively points this out, while also introducing promising and exploratory treatment methods for further research and application.
