Features: This book is a specialized work on traditional Chinese medicine surgery, comprising sixteen volumes. The first volume includes (meridian charts and acupoints); volumes 1 to 4 discuss the root causes and manifestations, pulse diagnosis, (good and evil), (order and disorder), complications, treatment methods, and care for sores and carbuncles in general terms; volumes 5 to 13 detail the diagnosis and treatment of 175 conditions in surgery, dermatology, as well as injuries from falls, sharp objects, and animal bites; volumes 14 to 16 contain 281 prescriptions for surgical use. This book compiles renowned theories from predecessors, family-inherited surgical and acupuncture methods, and the author's clinical experience into one volume. The discussions are often innovative, clear in differentiation, and thorough in treatment. For example, "If sputum contains pus and blood with a foul odor that sinks in water, it is pulmonary abscess; conversely, if only mucus is sputum without pus and blood, it is pulmonary atrophy." The differentiation is very clear. Another example is the classification of breast diseases into "breast eruption," "breast abscess," "breast carbuncle," "breast nodule," "breast discharge," and "breast rock," with treatments that are meticulous and highly practical for clinical use. This book offers unique insights and valuable experience in identifying the auspiciousness or inauspiciousness of sores and carbuncles, as well as treating difficult and severe surgical conditions such as scabies, carbuncles, sores, and syphilis. It serves as a practical reference for clinical practice in traditional Chinese medicine surgery. The book was first completed in 1694 AD (33rd year of the Kangxi reign in the Qing Dynasty) and first published in 1790 AD (55th year of the Qianlong reign in the Qing Dynasty). For this edition, the Da Yatai edition from the 55th year of the Qianlong reign in the Qing Dynasty held by the Library of the Hunan Research Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine was used as the base text, while the Juxian Tang edition held by the Library of the China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine was used as the comparative text.
