Synopsis of the Golden Chamber is the miscellaneous disease part of Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases written by Zhang Zhongjing, a famous medical scientist in the Eastern Han Dynasty. It is also the earliest existing book in my country that discusses the diagnosis and treatment of miscellaneous diseases. It was originally called Synopsis of the Golden Chamber. The "Golden Chamber" is a place where ancient emperors' sacred teachings and records are stored, which means that the contents of this book are precious. The book is divided into three volumes: the first, middle and second volumes, with a total of 25 chapters, covering more than 60 kinds of diseases and 262 prescriptions. The diseases and syndromes described are mainly miscellaneous internal diseases, and also cover surgical, gynecological diseases, emergency, death, and dietary taboos. He was hailed as the "ancestor of Fang Shu" by later generations.

Wow, this "Jingui Yaoluo Lun" is so professional! However, I think it is very valuable. The content is very detailed, and the descriptions and treatments of some diseases are also very clear. I especially like its analysis of diseases caused by accumulation of wind and cold in the five internal organs, which gave me a deeper understanding of traditional Chinese medicine. Although I don't quite understand some parts, I think this book will be very helpful for people studying medicine! My boyfriend is a medical student, and I want him to read this book.
A very rare masterpiece of traditional Chinese medicine. The Bishu was compiled by the officials of the Song Dynasty and collected numerous classic prescriptions and medical records of famous folk doctors. The content is really rich and easy to understand. Good books are worth reading. 😊
