Editor's review
Who it's for
A good fit for
- 中医药专业的本科生、研究生，需要查检规范术语与出处
- 中医临床医师，遇到古病名、冷僻药名、方剂别名时随手核对
- 医史文献与中医古籍整理研究者，用作术语与人物、典籍的查考依据
- 中西医结合工作者，需要对照理解中医名词的基本含义
- 图书馆、科室、书房需常备一册权威中医工具书的读者
Not a good fit for
- 希望从零系统学习中医、需要循序渐进讲义的入门读者
- 想靠一部辞典速成方剂配方或自行用药的读者
- 主要需求为西医临床查阅、对中医术语无涉的读者
Reading tips
- 不必从头读起：先通读“凡例”和类目说明，弄清收词范围与释义体例，再用拼音索引按需查检。
- 查条目时留意末尾所注出处，顺藤摸瓜回到原书，比单看释义更能理解术语的来龙去脉。
- 把常查的条目（如本专业核心病名、药名）摘录成卡片，逐渐形成自己的术语索引，效率远高于反复翻检。
- 遇到释义与当代教材说法不一致时，以辞典所据文献为准加以核对，不要简单判定谁对谁错。

About the author
Li Jingwei (1929–2026) was a renowned Chinese historian of medicine and a senior researcher at the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences. He served as the founding director of the Institute of Chinese Medical History and Literature and the first curator of the Museum of Chinese Medical History. Born in Xianyang, Shaanxi, in 1929, he graduated from Xi'an Medical College in 1955 and later studied medical history under Chen Bangxian. He chief-edited major works including the General History of Chinese Medicine and the Grand Dictionary of Traditional Chinese Medicine. His representative works, A History of Chinese Medical Thought and A Brief History of Medical Exchange Between China and Foreign Countries, both belong to the field of medical history: the former traces the development of Chinese medical thought, while the latter examines exchanges and mutual learning between Chinese and foreign medicine, reflecting his emphasis on historical sources and clear organization. Two of his works are included in this catalog, commonly classified under Medicine. Li Jingwei passed away in Beijing on October 6, 2026. Public information on further details of his life and academic achievements is limited; the above is based on the facts available in the catalog.
Yu Ying’ao is an author in the Chinese book market who focuses on medical and health topics, with works centering on traditional traumatology knowledge and daoyin health preservation. Seventeen of his works are included in the collection, with representative titles such as Hui Tong Traumatology, Taoist Traumatology, Confucian Traumatology, School Traumatology, Military Traumatology, Miscellaneous Traumatology, Daoyin Traumatology, and Ethnic Traumatology. These titles suggest that he attempts to systematically sort out the diverse aspects of traumatology theory and practice along the lines of different schools of thought and ethnic medicine. His writing emphasizes classification and origins, showing a clear character of documentary organization, and is suitable for readers interested in traditional Chinese bone traumatology, daoyin exercises, and traditional health preservation. It should be noted that public information about Yu Ying’ao’s personal experience, education, and positions is limited; at present, his writing direction can only be understood through the themes and categories of his works.
