华佗

Hua Tuo is a celebrated physician in ancient China. Publicly available information about his life and dates of birth and death is limited, and his exact nationality and English name are not clearly recorded. The library holds four works attributed to him, including the Zhongzang Jing, the Huashi Zhongzang Jing, and modern editions such as Sun Guangrong's Annotated Translation of the Zhongzang Jing (Revised Edition) and the Zhongzang Jing in the Chinese Medicine Must-Read Classics series. The Zhongzang Jing, traditionally attributed to Hua Tuo, centers on syndrome differentiation by zang-fu organs and also discusses causes of disease, pulse diagnosis, and treatment methods. Its concise language and clear structure make it one of the classic medical texts of Chinese medicine, and it has had a lasting influence on later zang-fu differentiation systems and clinical approaches. These works fall mainly under medicine and classic works, offering both original texts and modern translations and readers for students at different levels.
