Synopsis

All the medical cases in this book are drawn from Huanghan Medicine, published by the Shanghai Zhonghua Book Company in 1936. It includes 568 selected classic case studies, 338 classic prescriptions, and three cases from treatments we have personally experienced.

This book follows the works Treatise on Cold Damage and Essentials from the Golden Cabinet, compiled by the sage physician Zhang Zhongjing, and uses pattern differentiation according to the Six Channels as its guide. It provides a general overview of three thousand years of clinical experience from renowned Chinese medicine practitioners past and present, both at home and abroad, in treating cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, tumors, diabetes, hypertension, strokes, typhoid, colds, facial paralysis, hemiplegia, rheumatism, gout, epilepsy and psychosis, traumatic neurosis, blood stasis, skin diseases, gynecological and obstetric conditions, pediatric diseases, sexually transmitted diseases, and other difficult and complex ailments. It is undoubtedly a valuable legacy of the clinical application of Chinese medicine and herbal remedies.

This book has had a profound influence on many contemporary Chinese medicine practitioners, including Professor Hu Xishu, Professor Liu Duzhou, and Professor Hao Wanshan of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine; Professor Huang Huang, dean of Nanjing International Classical Formula Academy; the Chinese American physician Ni Haixia, known as a genius of Chinese medicine; and the renowned Japanese Kampo physician Otsuka Keisetsu. Ni Haixia, in particular, cited extensively from Huanghan Medicine in his lecture notes on Treatise on Cold Damage, Essentials from the Golden Cabinet, and The Divine Farmer’s Classic of Materia Medica.

In editing and compiling this book, every effort has been made to preserve the original work and its Chinese translation as faithfully as possible. Apart from translating the original text from traditional classical Chinese into clear, accessible modern Chinese, we have added only concise notes on certain difficult points and relevant precautions.
