[Masterpieces on Obstetrics and Gynecology in Historical China]
[Wang Huazhen, a master of medicine in the Ming Dynasty and a master of traditional Chinese medicine, is a hand-down work on obstetrics and gynecology that adheres to the principle of integrating theory with practice] This book is rich and incisive in content, concise and detailed in theory, and simple in prescriptions and in line with clinical practice. This book systematically organizes the key points of gynecological diagnosis and an outline of treatment methods, and provides a normative and systematic explanation, improving the theoretical system of TCM gynecology. The book discusses various symptoms caused by women who exert too much effort during childbirth, such as vaginal prolapse, swelling and pain, etc., And provides corresponding treatment plans.
"Obstetric Examination" not only demonstrates Wang Huazhen's profound attainments in the medical field, but also provides valuable reference for the development of TCM obstetrics and gynecology in later generations. Both Wang Huazhen and Wu Zhiwang are known by later generations as "he is not good at commanding and fighting, but he is a master at saving people in medicine." Both of them are top masters of traditional Chinese medicine in the late Ming Dynasty. When Wang Huazhen fell in Liaoyang, he summoned the scattered soldiers to defend Guangning, which enabled the Ming Dynasty to temporarily protect the west of the Liao River and activated Mao Wenlong and others. Later, he served as governor of Liaodong. He despised the enemy and believed that Hou Jin could be defeated in one fell swoop. This eventually led to the disastrous defeat of the "Battle of Guangning" and was sentenced to prison. He began to defect to the imperial party, exposed the fact that the Donglin Party had embezzled the Liaodong army's salary, and dealt a fatal blow to the Donglin Party. Later, when Zhu Youxiao fell into the water and Zhu Youjian ascended the throne, the Donglin Party made a comeback, and he was executed in the fifth year of Chongzhen.
