Selected Cases of Classical Formulas
Tags
Summary
Selected Cases of Classical Formulas is a teaching reference on classical formula medical cases compiled by Dai Foyan, printed by Chengdu College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in 1979 as internal teaching material in a limited print run. The book is divided into three parts: the upper part collects cases using formulas from Shanghan Lun, the middle part cases using formulas from Jingui Yaolue, and the lower part cases using formulas from Qianjin and Waitai. The book is organized by "formula governing patterns": each formula name is listed first, followed by itemized records of how physicians past and present actually used that formula, fully recording the patient's signs, diagnostic and treatment process, formula modifications and therapeutic outcome. After each case, the editor's commentary analyzes the key points of pattern identification in light of the classical text, explaining pathogenesis, differentiation from similar patterns and modification reasoning, emphasizing correspondence between formula and pattern rather than mechanical application. The selected cases cover exogenous diseases, internal miscellaneous diseases and some difficult and severe conditions, with examples of rigid and soft tetany, fox-creeper and lily disease, joint-running and chest bi, cold hernia and edema. Because it is an internal college print, it has long circulated among TCM learners as scanned copies and is regarded as an important reference for studying classical formula cases.
Editor's review
这是一本容易被书名著“骗”过去的书：它不讲方剂学总论，也不做理论铺陈，而是把历代医家真实的处方和疗效，按方子一条条摆出来，让读者自己看见“方”与“证”如何咬合。戴佛延的功夫在按语——他既熟悉《伤寒》《金匮》原文，又有临床眼光，能从一则看似平常的治验中挑出辨证的关键、点破易混的类证，把“为什么用这个方、为什么这样加减”说清楚。上集伤寒方、中集金匮方、下集千金外台方，三集贯通，正好补上许多教材只讲方义、不讲实战的空白。本书为1979年成都中医学院内部铅印本，无ISBN，市面少见，多以扫描电子本流传，阅读时需留心肌理与剂量表述的时代痕迹。对正在啃经方、苦于“方证对不上”的读者，它更像一本可以对照病案的练习册，而不是背诵手册。
Who it's for
A good fit for
- 中医临床医师，尤其希望强化经方方证对应能力者
- 中医院校在读学生与方剂、伤寒、金匮课程的学习者
- 有经典基础、喜欢通过真实病案揣摩辨证思路的中医爱好者
- 从事中医文献、医案整理与教学研究的读者
Not a good fit for
- 完全没有中医基础、看不懂证候与方名的零基础读者
- 希望按现代病名直接查方、照方抓药的自我用药者
- 只想读理论总论、不愿逐条阅读原始医案的读者
Reading tips
- 先通读篇首体例说明，弄懂“以方统证”的编排逻辑，再按方剂逐条推进。
- 读案时先自问如何辨证选方，再看原案用药与编者按语，对照差距最有收获。
- 上集可与《伤寒论》原文对读，中、下集配合《金匮要略》《千金》《外台》查证原方。
- 注意1979年内部印本的时代用语与剂量习惯，切勿直接照搬方药自用。
FAQ
《古方医案选编》和《伤寒论方医案选编》是同一本书吗？
不是。前者为戴佛延编著、成都中医学院1979年内部印行，分上中下三集，涵盖伤寒、金匮、千金外台方；后者为高德编、湖南科学技术出版社1981年出版，专收《伤寒论》一百零四方医案。
这本书有正式书号或ISBN吗？
据现有资料，本书为成都中医学院内部铅印教学资料，未查到正式ISBN，流通形式多为扫描电子本或旧书，版本信息以“1979年印行”为准。
上、中、下三集分别收哪类方？
上集为《伤寒论》方医案，中集为《金匮要略》方医案，下集为《千金》《外台》方医案，三集均按方统证编排。
零基础可以读吗？
不太适合。医案原文大量使用证候术语，若未学过伤寒、金匮与方剂基础，很难体会辨证要点，建议先补基础再读。
