Features: Traditional Chinese Medicine Syndrome Differentiation Diagnosis (2nd Edition) is the most important part of the three major specialized books on Traditional Chinese Medicine Differentiation Diagnosis (the other two are Traditional Chinese Medicine Symptom Differentiation Diagnosis and Traditional Chinese Medicine Disease Differentiation Diagnosis). This book is an academic monograph that studies the theory and practice of "syndrome differentiation" in Traditional Chinese Medicine from the perspective of syndrome study. The book is divided into two main parts: General Theory and Specific Topics. The General Theory systematically elaborates on the concept, expression forms, structure, and hierarchy of "syndromes," as well as the naming principles and classification of syndromes. It also analyzes the variability of syndromes themselves and their similarities and suspected differences, introduces the principles and methods for differentiating the primary syndrome from the differential syndromes, and reviews the progress of syndrome study research in the late 20th century. The Specific Topics cover basic syndromes, systemic syndromes, zang-fu organ syndromes, warm disease syndromes, cold damage syndromes, and specialized (gynecology, pediatrics, surgery, dermatology, otolaryngology, ophthalmology) syndromes, totaling 483 entries. Each entry is written in three sections: [Overview], [Differentiation], and [Selected Literature]. This book has a novel format, extensive content, and serves as a reference for medical, teaching, and research professionals in Traditional Chinese Medicine. It is particularly valuable for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
