Two volumes of comprehensive medical books. Han Mao, a native of the Ming Dynasty, wrote it in 1522. The first volume is divided into five chapters: introduction, combined treatment of six methods, pulse formula, prescription, and family medical records; the second volume is divided into four chapters: hanging pot medical records, tailoring of medicinal properties, formulas without hidden formulas, and strategies for not using similar medicines. Han developed Chun Yuyi's medical records program, specifically pointed out the importance of the four diagnostic methods in identifying disease syndromes, created commonly used prescriptions such as Sanzi Yangqin Decoction, and had special experience in the application of tonic methods in clinical practice. The book also records the preparation methods of Banxiaqu and Xiatian paste. There are extant Ming and Qing dynasty editions, the "Chinese Medical Dacheng" edition, and the printed edition after 1949.
Reader comments
This book "Han's Medical Guide" is very rich in content. The author Han Mao explains his understanding of medicine in the book. He believes that nourishing qi, cultivating the body, and maintaining balance are the core of medical ethics. Just like what he said, "The way to heal is to nourish Qi and practice physical form to achieve neutralization." This sentence is really inspiring. Moreover, he also mentioned the harmony of qi and the movement of gods, emphasizing the true breath of the body. I feel that this book will be of great help to those studying medicine, but the content may be a bit esoteric and requires careful study.
