Features: This book systematically explores the origins and developments of 92 traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndromes, tracing their sources, examining their changes, and clarifying their treatments. It is a specialized work dedicated to analyzing the origins and developments of TCM syndrome treatments. It holds significant importance for TCM clinical practice and is a must-read for those studying TCM. The Source and Flow of Miscellaneous Diseases (Zhabing Yuanshou Xilu) is a 30-volume work written by Shen Jinaliao during the 36th year of the Qianlong reign (1773) and is an important part of the series Shen Shi Zunsheng Shu. The entire book consists of 30 volumes, primarily focusing on introducing miscellaneous diseases, including sections on Zang-Fu Organs, Extraordinary Meridians, Six Evils, Internal and External Injuries, Facial Disorders, and Physical Forms, totaling six major sections. Each section is further divided into several disease syndromes. Under each disease syndrome, there is a Source and Flow section that elaborates on the origins, examines the changes, and investigates the development of the disease, presented in a clear and organized manner. Subsequently, based on the clinical manifestations of the disease, the book clarifies the primary treatments, prescribes relevant formulas, and concludes with exercises for guiding the body. This integration of theory, methodology, formulas, and medicinal practices is highly harmonious. The book extensively incorporates the refined theories of TCM masters while combining the author’s extensive clinical experience, making it a medical work that excels in both theory and practice. It has had a profound influence on later generations and remains one of the most practical and essential reference books for contemporary TCM clinicians. This edition is based on the Qianlong Jiaowa edition and has been carefully compiled. To facilitate learning, a preface has been written, and an index of formulas is provided at the end for easy reference.
