Synopsis

This book is a comprehensive history of the development of traditional Chinese medicine. The author places particular emphasis on the internal history of medicine, focusing on how knowledge was passed down and developed in each historical period, and especially on documenting examples of innovation and invention in traditional Chinese medicine. The book follows a chronological structure, discussing each period in turn. Its chapters are organized around specialties, diseases, notable figures, texts, anecdotes, and other topics. The chapter titles also reflect the characteristics of medical development in their respective eras. By combining Chinese dynastic chronology with the Gregorian calendar, the author aims to provide a thorough account and appraisal. Although this history of traditional Chinese medicine, written by a leading authority in the field, centers on its development, the author does not deliberately conceal the influence of Western medicine or avoid topics that closely connect Chinese and Western medicine. The aim is to encourage people to bring modern science and medicine into the service of traditional Chinese medicine.
