Features: This book not only takes the theory of Zang-Xiang (organs and phenomena) further into depth based on the current stage of development but also re-examines the fundamental differences between Chinese and Western medicine. It provides a rational analysis of the difficulties faced by modern research on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and subsequently offers guidance for determining the direction of TCM research. More importantly, given the universality of the method of embryology, this book provides valuable references or blueprints for the study of the entire field of TCM. Additionally, the book is written in a fluent style, with extensive citations and rigorous arguments, making it a masterpiece in both content and form.
The method of embryology in this book is a way to reflect and reveal the historical stages, forms, and laws of development and evolution in nature, human society, and human modes of thought. The unique problem of this research is the growth of the object, i.e., the process, focusing on revealing the important, essential, and inevitable factors that underlie the occurrence, development, and change of the research subject. Its application has a history of 250 years to date. This book examines the theory of Zang-Xiang from two directions—“vertical” and “horizontal”—using the novel perspective of embryology in a serious and rigorous manner.
