Features: This book has four distinct characteristics.
First, it emphasizes "comprehensiveness," meaning the content is rich and thorough. The book is divided into four parts, with the clinical section as the core. The three herbal medicine sections—Chinese herbal medicine, prepared medicine, and small formula—surround the clinical section, encompassing all the herbal medicines needed in clinical practice.
Second, it highlights "up-to-date information," reflecting the latest achievements and experiences in traditional Chinese medicine research. Each section of the book strives to incorporate the newest findings in traditional Chinese medicine. The clinical section primarily uses Western medical disease names, but for each disease and syndrome, it selects herbs based on both traditional Chinese medicine syndrome differentiation and modern pharmacological research, integrating the two into a targeted and effective basic prescription.
Third, it emphasizes "coherence," meaning the sections are closely interconnected. The herbs selected in the clinical section are detailed in the three herbal medicine sections that follow, while the herbs introduced in the latter three sections are mostly applied in the clinical section, creating a cohesive and integrated whole.
Fourth, it emphasizes "convenience," meaning the herbs can be easily and quickly retrieved. The herbs listed in the book can be searched through three different methods.
