Features: Professor Wang Hongtu is a renowned Chinese medical scientist who has long been engaged in teaching, research, and clinical practice of the Neijing (Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon). He has achieved high proficiency in the study of the Neijing. This book focuses on introducing Professor Wang's experiences and insights in applying Neijing theory to clinical practice, as well as the essence of his research on certain theoretical issues of the Neijing. The book is divided into two parts: Medical Theories and Medical Cases. The Medical Theories section includes 17 representative papers by Professor Wang. The Medical Cases section takes a specific theory or passage from the Neijing as its framework and includes two sections: [Clinical Application] and [Elaboration]. The [Clinical Application] section provides detailed introductions to Professor Wang's representative successful (with a few exceptions of failures) medical cases. The [Elaboration] section, which is the highlight of the book, elaborates on Professor Wang's understanding of relevant theories and his insights into the diagnosis and treatment of related conditions, based on the canonical texts and clinical cases. This book emphasizes that the Neijing can directly guide clinical practice, thereby increasing the interest and confidence of readers, especially young Chinese medicine practitioners, in studying and applying the Neijing. The book is widely applicable for clinical Chinese medicine practitioners, teachers and students of Chinese medicine colleges, and self-taught individuals in Chinese medicine.
