Editor's review
Who it's for
A good fit for
- Non-Chinese-medicine physicians enrolled in the one-year "Western Medicine Learning TCM" training program
- Clinicians who need to prescribe Chinese patent medicines but lack systematic TCM training
- Primary care practitioners seeking to build a foundation in classical TCM theory
Not a good fit for
- TCM physicians with a solid grounding in the classics who seek in-depth thematic study
- Readers looking only for quick-reference information akin to Chinese patent medicine package inserts
- General readers with no clinical background who merely wish to learn about TCM culture
Reading tips
- Read unit by unit following the training course schedule; in each unit, read the selected texts through once before turning to the annotations and commentaries.
- After finishing each classical excerpt, review the pattern identification and treatment for a clinical case you have personally handled.
- Compare the book's key points on pattern identification and treatment with the standards for prescribing Chinese patent medicines, and compile your own notes.
- When encountering unfamiliar classical Chinese terms, mark them first and look them up together later, so as not to stall word by word and lose the overall sense.

About the author
Chen Ming, born in Changsha, Hunan, in 1962, holds a PhD in philosophy and is regarded as one of the representative figures of contemporary Chinese "New Confucianism." He has taught at the Institute of World Religions of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and the Department of Philosophy at Capital Normal University, and is now a professor at Biquan Academy of Xiangtan University. In 1994 he founded and has since edited the journal Yuandao. His works center on Confucianism while also engaging in intellectual history and modern interpretations of classics, including The Historical and Cultural Functions of Confucianism, The Dimensions of the Confucian, A General Exposition of the Yi, Yong, and Xue, and Civilized Confucianism. The collection holds 15 of his works, spanning literary appreciation, foreign literature, inspirational growth, and industrial technology. These range from a color-illustrated collector's edition of The Wind in the Willows and Napoleon Hill's Golden Rules for Wealth to technical titles such as Theory and Application Technology of Cutting Machining for Carbon Fiber Composites and Laminated Structures. His research and writing emphasize dialogue between traditional resources and modern questions, and his books for general readers aim to be accessible without sacrificing depth.
Fan Heng: publicly available information is limited, and only two works are known to be in circulation: Selected Readings from Chinese Medical Classics and Pang Anshi, the Medical King of the Northern Song. Judging from their subject matter, Fan Heng's focus lies in two directions: Chinese medical scholarship and the history of medical figures. The former involves the selection and arrangement of classic medical texts, a genre commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine colleges for coursework and exam preparation, which is why it is classified under both "examinations" and "medicine." The latter is a topical account of the life and scholarship of Pang Anshi, a physician of the Northern Song dynasty. Taken together, these two threads suggest that the author's writing combines the popularization of canonical texts with the organization of medical history, aimed mainly at students of Chinese medicine and general readers interested in Chinese medical culture. As no reliable records of biography, education, or positions have been found, no speculation is offered here; the above remarks concern only the content and purpose of the extant works.
