Publishing Date: 2003-12-01
Features: The book opens with an introduction, followed by four chapters. The introduction elaborates on the origins of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) tongue diagnosis and introduces TCM tongue diagnosis throughout history. Chapter 1 covers an overview of TCM tongue diagnosis; Chapter 2 focuses on diagnosing the tongue body; Chapter 3 discusses diagnosing the tongue coating; Chapter 4 explores the clinical significance and applications of tongue diagnosis. The book employs high-resolution digital cameras, with images captured by professional photographers for TCM tongue diagnosis. In the compilation, over 200 high-definition images have been carefully selected to make the abstract theory of TCM tongue diagnosis vivid and concrete. This aids readers in learning, understanding, mastering, and applying the knowledge; it helps form and establish diagnostic standards for TCM tongue diagnosis in their minds, thereby promoting its standardization and normalization. Although the content of tongue diagnosis is extensive and the variations of tongue manifestations are complex, they ultimately revolve around the changes in the spirit, color, and form of the tongue body, as well as the texture and color of the tongue coating and their combinations. Once the basic principles are grasped, one can simplify the complex and apply it flexibly, promptly capturing physiological and pathological information of the human body, gaining a competitive edge.
