Features: "A Thousand Excellent Formulas" is the result of joint effort by thousands of people. The book contains nearly 1,100 traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions, collected from nearly 600 medical practitioners or institutions across 30 provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions in China (including Taiwan Province). Most of these practitioners are renowned old TCM doctors from various parts of the country, and a significant portion of them are professors or associate professors. The content of this book represents a part of their valuable experience. These prescriptions are mostly personally provided by them, while the rest are carefully selected from their published medical case studies or articles in medical journals in recent years. The prescriptions in "A Thousand Excellent Formulas" can basically be divided into three forms: one is the modification and adaptation of ancient formulas, which accounts for the majority; another is retaining the original composition of ancient formulas with unique dosage adjustments; the third is self-formulated prescriptions by the practitioners. The general characteristics of these prescriptions are their ideal effects in treating certain conditions. The book is rich in content and easy to understand, making it suitable not only as a reference for medical and pharmaceutical professionals at all levels but also for people with junior high school or above education to read and apply.
