Features: The tongue is a mirror reflecting the health of the human internal organs. Observing the tongue can reveal the condition of the body and help determine the severity and nature of diseases. Tongue observation is an essential and uniquely Chinese medical diagnostic method in clinical practice, serving as a crucial basis for syndrome differentiation and treatment. This book is compiled from typical tongue images collected through long-term clinical practice by Professor Fei Zhaofu and other authors at Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It includes selected representative tongue images for common diseases and syndromes. Each tongue image is accompanied by detailed textual content, including specific characteristics, pathological significance, syndrome differentiation and treatment, and lifestyle guidance. The revised edition also adds images and textual explanations of tongue changes during disease progression, as well as comprehensive analysis of tongue diagnosis combined with symptoms. The book is rich in content, concise, practical, and highly readable. The selected tongue images are vivid, realistic, and beautifully presented, making it a valuable reference for beginners and clinical practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine. For general non-professional readers, learning from this book allows them to regularly observe and compare their own tongue images to assess their health status. They can also refer to the related "lifestyle guidance" in the book for self-care or seek timely medical treatment, which contributes to maintaining health and improving quality of life.
