Understanding Traditional Chinese Medicine Through the Classics: Looking for the Logic in Traditional Chinese Medicine Classics

Everyone knows that reading classics and practicing clinical practice are the only ways to learn Chinese medicine well, but how to read classics and practice clinical practice diligently? There are so many books on traditional Chinese medicine that often make traditional Chinese medicine practitioners feel overwhelmed or even discouraged. The competing theories of traditional Chinese medicine also make traditional Chinese medicine practitioners unable to distinguish the fundamentals and flock to them. In the end, they end up "learning to walk in Handan" with mediocre clinical effects. Zeng Guofan said: "Every dedicated person must have insights and doubts." Focusing on the classics, insights are valuable, but when dealing with doubts, it is very important to break away and conduct objective logical thinking. The author of this book, Liu Hongliang, a talented young Chinese medicine practitioner, has always insisted on studying the classics and devoted himself to the search. From the "Nei Jing" to typhoid fever and then to febrile diseases; from medical theory to pulse theory, from treatment methods to prescriptions, he has sought the truth and resolved doubts in every aspect. He has also had some objective and calm thoughts on the "doubts" in the classics. In accordance with the thinking of "consistency in principles, methods, prescriptions and medicines", this book reflects on the logic of some core theories of traditional Chinese medicine, so that the classics can be implemented into clinical practice, so that traditional Chinese medicine practitioners will no longer sigh at the "classics", "understand" the thinking of traditional Chinese medicine classics, search for the logic in traditional Chinese medicine classics, and embark on a journey to pursue the effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine.
