Features: Binhua Muxue was compiled by Li Shizhen, a renowned medical and pharmaceutical scholar of the Ming Dynasty. Li collected the essence of various theories on pulse-taking and summarized them into 27 pulse types. He also composed rhyming couplets to describe the pulse types, their similar pulses, and the diseases they indicate. These couplets are easy to read, memorize, and recall, making them an excellent learning resource for later generations studying pulse-taking and highly regarded by medical practitioners throughout history. However, due to the limitations of rhyming couplets, the language is concise, making it difficult to fully grasp the deeper meanings. To facilitate learning, the People's Medical Publishing House published Binhua Muxue Baihua Jie (Colloquial Explanation of Binhua Muxue) in the 1960s. This book was widely welcomed by readers and has been reprinted 24 times in two editions, with over 3 million copies printed. To meet the needs of modern readers, the Basic Theory of TCM Department of Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine revised this book for its third edition. The new edition restores the original text while providing clear and accessible translations, making it even easier for readers to learn and memorize. It serves as an excellent guide and companion for beginners of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine practitioners studying traditional Chinese medicine.
