Features: Lǐ Yuè Pián Wén, originally titled Waizhi Yishu, was written by Wu Shijī during the Qing Dynasty and is a specialized work on external treatment methods in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The author devoted his entire life to researching external treatments, believing that "medical theory and drug properties are one," and that "the principles of external treatment are the same as those of internal treatment; the drugs used in external treatment are also the same as those used in internal treatment—the only difference lies in the methods." The book introduces dozens of external treatment methods. The author widely applied external treatments to various clinical disciplines, including internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, pediatrics, ophthalmology, otolaryngology, and dermatology, making significant contributions to the summary and development of TCM external treatment methods. Later generations revered Lǐ Yuè Pián Wén as the "foundational text of external treatment." This book is suitable for TCM theory and clinical practitioners, students of TCM institutions, and enthusiasts of TCM for study and reference.
