Among these, 354 are basic formulas and 264 are specialized formulas. Following the principle of organizing formulas by their application methods, they are divided into 27 chapters. Each main prescription includes: a poetic formula, a brief and clear table of analysis, commentary, application notes, and additional formulas. The poetic formulas are concise, rhyming, and easy to remember once mastered. The table of analysis is simple, visually intuitive, and aids in understanding and memorization, one of the key features of this book. The adapted usage is derived from the clinical experiences of renowned experts and the editor, making it easy to grasp and apply. At the end, there is an "Examination Guide for Formular Medicine," which is a must-read for those preparing for exams. The appendices at the end of the book provide a concise table of commonly used Chinese patent medicines, selected from currently popular ones and organized by the diseases they treat for reference. The book is highly beneficial for understanding, memorizing, and flexibly using formulas, as well as preparing for Formular Medicine exams. It is an ideal reference for students of traditional Chinese medicine at the college and secondary school levels, self-study candidates, and medical practitioners.
