Features: This book is divided into two parts. The first part consists of 4 chapters, covering the origin and development of formulas, the relationship between formulas and syndrome differentiation and treatment, the composition and variation of formulas, and the use of decoctions. The second part has 21 chapters. Each chapter begins with a brief overview of definitions, classification (excluding anthelmintics and emetics), compatibility, and usage precautions. Subsequently, each formula under each section is explained in the following order: name and source of the formula, formula rhyme, main indications, functions, interpretation, and superlinks, aligning with the diagnostic and therapeutic approach of syndrome differentiation and treatment. The formula rhyme primarily follows the principal, deputy, assistant, and envoy structure in the interpretation or drug classification, and the abbreviations of drugs adhere to a consistent principle throughout. Additionally, main indications and functions are appropriately added. The interpretation is uniformly explained using the principal, deputy, assistant, and envoy structure, supplemented with connecting lines. The superlinks emphasize the explanation of difficult issues and other key content derived from the formula items, while also selecting some formulas with similar compositions. The appendix includes a comparative table of formulas, listing similarities and differences in drug composition, functions, and main indications, for easy reference. This book is suitable for students, teachers, and enthusiasts of traditional Chinese medicine, as well as clinical medical practitioners.
