Qinghe County has an old street, and on that street stands the Chen Family Classical Formula Clinic.
The clinic has been passed down for four generations. By the time it reaches Chen Banxia, all that remains is an old plaque reading “Classical Remedies, Saving Lives,” two sets of medicine cabinets polished smooth with age, and 4,800 yuan tucked beneath a crock of pickled vegetables. Twenty-eight-year-old Chen Banxia has inherited a wealth of medical knowledge, but all he has to show for it is a restricted-scope specialist physician license. He is three months behind on rent, his medicinal herbs are running low, and his father has not practiced medicine since a medical dispute three years ago. This century-old clinic is on the verge of dying out in his hands.
Then a patient, icy cold to the touch, walks through the door.
Ling Gui Zhu Gan Tang with Fu Zi, one dose to restore yang. Ma Huang Tang for a child's high fever, one dose to bring it down. Si Ni Tang to save a patient with severe yang collapse, Wu Mei Wan to expel roundworms and treat worm syncope, Wen Jing Tang to regulate the Chong and Ren meridians and address cold deficiency... Prescriptions devised by Zhang Zhongjing 1,800 years ago prove the enduring power of classical formulas time and again in this small county town, forgotten by the times.
From being overlooked to having patients crowd through the door, from a specialist physician to preparing for the general practice exam, from the life-saving money hidden beneath a pickle crock to an invitation to a provincial capital symposium on classical formulas: this is the desperate fight for survival of a century-old clinic, and the forging of a young generation of Chinese medicine practitioners.
As long as the lamp stays lit, the tradition will endure. The story of classical formulas is unfolding now.

Even if he does not understand Chinese medicine, he can still remember the names of some commonly used Chinese medicines.

This set of books contains detailed notes on the classic prescriptions and Zhang Zhongjing's treatise on febrile diseases and miscellaneous diseases. The author should be a good doctor.
He could write Lin Yifen's Treatise on Febrile Diseases and The Golden Chamber so well! Thumbs up for you. [Like] [Like] [Like] [Like] [Like] [Like] [Love] [Love] [Love]
This is a very good Chinese medicine novel that introduces traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions. I was deeply attracted by it when I read the first article. The traditional Chinese medicine culture is really broad and profound. I am very proud of the Chinese medicine culture of our Chinese nation.
It's real, useful, and practical, but it only works if you choose the right medicinal materials! Traditional Chinese medicine has been passed down for thousands of years. The medicine can cure diseases and relieve patients from suffering. But now it has declined. The root of the problem lies in good doctors. There is never a shortage of good prescriptions. What is lacking is good medicinal materials and what is lacking is the conscience of pharmacists. If drug dealers lack the medicine of conscience, all living beings will be uneasy.
It gives me the feeling that studying Chinese medicine is no longer boring.
"Reading novels to learn Chinese medicine is more effective than textbooks"! Benefited a lot!
Use each case to describe the essence of traditional Chinese medicine [Like][Like][Like]
But it has not jumped out of the current situation: the most important thing is: staying true to the ancestral prescriptions. There has always been no breakthrough in prescription innovation and production of Chinese patent medicines [grievance]
The fundamental reasons for the decline, decline, and sluggishness are, on the one hand, the loss of the root cause of the prescription of medicine at that time, on the other hand, the insufficient efficacy of medicinal materials, and on the other hand, the unstandardized process of washing and decoction of medicine.
Come on, come on, come on!
This book can be said to be an excellent classic medical plan, and the author must be a person with profound knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine. For those who study medicine, it seems that they can learn a lot in the interesting way, and it is worth recommending. I hope the author will produce more such excellent works in the future to carry forward the inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine and benefit the common people.
