Synopsis of the Golden Chamber was written by Zhang Zhongjing in the late Han Dynasty. It is a must-read book for traditional Chinese medicine practitioners to study classics and practice clinical practice. It has always been annotators of many famous works. However, researchers who have developed a unique theoretical system like Mr. Hu Xishu are quite rare. This book is the inheritance of his academic thoughts. Because it is recorded and compiled in the form of study notes, you can see the words and hear the sounds, and understand their spirit. It is easy to understand and learn in simple terms. It can enable readers to correctly understand the original meaning of Zhongjing's book, and understand the key points of treating diseases with classic prescriptions: distinguishing the six classics, analyzing the eight cardinal principles, and finally distinguishing prescriptions and syndromes, accurately grasping the spiritual essence of treating diseases with classic prescriptions, flexibly applying them to clinical practice, and making innovation and progress.
About the author: Mr. Duan Zhijun is a close disciple of Mr. Hu Xishu. He has personally listened to Mr. Hu's teachings for seven or eight years and gained a lot of insights that will benefit him throughout his life. I deeply feel that it is not easy to learn Chinese medicine, and it is even harder to meet a famous teacher. Even if you have gained something, you should not hold any secrets. So I spent several years compiling the study notes from four times of listening to Hu Xishu's lectures systematically, and finally wrote four books that are the brainchild of Mr. Hu Xishu's academic thoughts: "Hu Xishu's explanation of typhoid fever becomes clearer and clearer", "Hu Xishu's "Synopsis of the Golden Chamber" study notes", "Hu Xishu Lectures on Zhongjing Pulseology", and "Hu Xishu Jingfang Essence".
Reader comments
The contents of the book are all the essence, especially the analysis of the Six Classics and the Eight Cardinal Principles, allowing people to grasp the key points of treating diseases with classic prescriptions. Moreover, I was really touched to see that Mr. Duan Zhijun, as a close disciple of Mr. Hu Xishu, compiled and passed down the work so carefully. Just like it is said in the book, "It is more difficult to meet a famous teacher." We are so lucky to read such a good book! I must study hard and live up to the author's hard work.
"Treatise on Febrile Diseases" and "Synopsis of the Golden Chamber" taught by Mr. Hu are my desk books
I hope more books like this will be published. I benefited from reading Mr. Hu's book.
