Features: This book is designed to cultivate practical talents to meet the needs of urban and rural healthcare services for medium-level health technology professionals after the reform and opening-up. Based on the first and second editions of the original textbook "Basic Knowledge of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture" from medium-level health schools, we widely solicited opinions from teachers, alumni, and users of the book, adhering to the principle of integrating theory with practice, and compiled the new textbook "Basic Knowledge of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture." The book is divided into two parts. The first part includes nine chapters: Yin-Yang and Five Elements Theory, Zang-Fu Organs, Meridians, Etiology, Diagnostic Methods and Syndrome Differentiation, Prevention and Treatment Principles, Basic Knowledge of Formulas and Medicines, Common Diseases and Syndromes, and Traditional Chinese Medicine Nursing, providing a concise yet systematic introduction to the basic theories of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and its diagnosis, treatment, and nursing knowledge. The second part consists of four chapters: Acupoints, Filiform Needle Techniques, Needling Techniques, and Acupuncture Therapy, focusing on the description of the 14 meridians' acupoints and acupuncture therapy for common diseases and syndromes. At the end of the book, there is an index of formula names by stroke order for reference. The content of this book is designed to align with the theoretical and professional training objectives, enabling students to apply what they learn in practice.
