1. The content of each chapter in the book is written with the principle of applying knowledge to practice, based on the fundamental theoretical system of TCM diagnosis, combined with the authors' practical experiences. It serves as a reference for learning the diagnostic methods of TCM, reading the original texts, and mastering the essential diagnostic knowledge.
2. The original text of the book is from the Qing Dynasty, specifically the fourth year of the Yongzheng reign (1726), published by Yu Ying Tang.
3. For errors, omissions, repetitions, or inverted words in the original text, corrections and explanations have been provided in the annotations. Missing parts of the text are indicated with blanks or deleted, or appropriately supplemented or corrected based on the context.
4. Variant characters in the original text have been standardized, except for a few special cases.
5. All quoted text in the original book is marked with quotation marks.
6. The content of the original book is very extensive, and some terms are not formal medical terms. However, ancient scholars used everyday language as specialized medical terms. Therefore, in the annotations, the meaning is explained based on the general context, but it may not fully convey the original intent. We welcome corrections and suggestions.
