Features: The tongue is a mirror reflecting the health of the human internal organs. Observing the tongue can help understand the body's health status and assess the severity and nature of diseases. Tongue observation is an essential and uniquely Chinese medical diagnostic method in clinical disease diagnosis, serving as a crucial basis for syndrome differentiation and treatment. This book is compiled from typical tongue images collected through long-term clinical practice by Professor Fei Zhaofu and other authors at Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It features selected representative tongue images for common diseases and syndromes. Each tongue image includes corresponding specific characteristics and pathological significance, as well as textual content on syndrome differentiation and treatment, lifestyle guidance, and more. The revised edition also adds images and textual explanations of tongue changes during disease progression, as well as comprehensive analysis of tongue diagnosis combined with symptoms. The book is rich in content, concise, practical, and highly readable. The selected tongue images are vividly colored and artistically rendered, making it a valuable reference for beginners and primary-level practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine. For general non-professional readers, learning from this book allows them to frequently observe and compare their own tongue images to assess their health status. They can also refer to the related "lifestyle guidance" in the book for self-care or seek timely medical treatment, which helps maintain health and improve quality of life.
