Features: This book is the original work of Yu Genchu, a famous physician from Shaoxing during the Qing Dynasty. It was later annotated by He Xiushan, proofread by He Lianchen, and revised by Cao Bingzhang and Xu Rongzhai. The current edition has been further revised by Lian Jianwei through comprehensive research and organization, resulting in a more refined and improved version. The book is divided into 12 chapters, using the Six Channels theory to govern all external-excess heat diseases. It incorporates the framework of the Four Levels (Zuo Gang, Wei Qi, Ying Xu, Xue), the theory, and the San Jiao theory into the Six Channels differentiation, providing a detailed introduction to the causes, symptoms, pulse, and treatments of primary, combined, mixed, aggravated, and recurrent patterns of Shaoyang disease, fully reflecting the diagnostic and therapeutic characteristics of the Shaoxing school of Shaoyang theory. The book dedicates a chapter to the Six Channels prescriptions, listing 101 formulas with rigorous composition and proven efficacy. This book is a comprehensive monograph on external-excess heat diseases, drawing on the strengths of various schools throughout history and covering theory, methodology, prescriptions, and herbs, making it highly valuable for clinical practice.
