Features: This book is primarily designed to help readers apply the method of syndrome differentiation and treatment in clinical practice after mastering the basic theories of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). For easy clinical reference, the book categorizes physical and anatomical manifestations into 20 types, such as systemic symptoms, facial symptoms, ocular symptoms, auditory symptoms, etc., and introduces over 400 common clinical symptoms. Each symptom is analyzed in terms of its etiology and pathogenesis, combined with the four diagnostic methods and other accompanying symptoms, to determine its nature. Subsequently, appropriate treatment methods are listed in detail. At the end of the book, there is a brief introduction to syndrome differentiation and treatment, which explains, through practical cases, how to identify key symptoms, explore etiology, determine syndromes, and carry out treatment. Therefore, although the book starts with the analysis of symptoms, its main focus remains on the characteristics of syndrome differentiation and treatment that integrate theory, method, formula, and medicine. The diseases and syndromes included in this book are primarily focused on internal medicine, with additional coverage of gynecology, pediatrics, surgery, ophthalmology, and laryngology. Due to its close alignment with clinical practice, the book serves as a clinical manual. For this edition, to preserve the original style, the terminology related to symptoms and other terms in the book has not been altered for reference purposes.
