Summary

This book is the Meng Shujiang volume of the "Century of One Hundred Distinguished Chinese Medicine Clinicians" series. Meng Shujiang (1921–2004) was born in Gaoyou, Jiangsu. He was a professor and doctoral supervisor at Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine and one of the founders of the modern discipline and curriculum of warm-disease studies (wenbing xue), and he long served as editor-in-chief of the nationally standardized textbook Warm Disease Studies for Chinese medicine colleges. The book consists of two main parts: "Biography of the Physician" and "Treatment of Specific Diseases." The biography recounts his apprenticeship under the renowned northern Jiangsu physician Wang Shaojiang, his early practice in his hometown, his admission to the Jiangsu Provincial School of Chinese Medicine in 1955 for further study, and his subsequent teaching post there, as well as his academic contributions to building the discipline of warm-disease studies. "Treatment of Specific Diseases" is organized by disease pattern and compiles his experience in treating high fever, low fever, cough and asthma, stomach disorders, constipation, chronic diarrhea, hiccups, oral diseases, chest impediment, headache, insomnia, depression patterns, impediment patterns, irregular menstruation, damp-warmth, warm-disease coma, and bacillary dysentery, with some case records written in Meng's own hand. The book reflects his approach of using warm-disease theory, methods, formulas, and herbs to treat internal medicine diseases generally: identifying the nature of pathogenic heat and applying clearing, purging, or tonifying methods accordingly, emphasizing the nourishment of yin and augmentation of fluids, skillfully using methods to resolve stagnation and obstruction, and advocating the combination of pattern differentiation with effective single formulas and proven remedies. The book is about 174,000 Chinese characters long and serves as an introductory reader for understanding Meng Shujiang's clinical experience and academic thought on warm-disease studies.

Editor's review

孟澍江是温病学界公认的“泰斗”级人物：中医院校第1至5版《温病学》统编教材皆出其手，现代温病学的学科框架与课程体系也由他与同仁一手搭建。这本临床经验集的可贵之处，在于把“讲台上的人”还原为“诊桌旁的人”——医家小传写他十七岁拜师、乡间行医收徒十余人的早年，专病论治则把高热、咳喘、胃病、便秘、湿温、温病神昏等病证一案一法地摊开。读者能清楚看到他如何把温病的辨证思路移用于内科杂病：辨邪热性质而定清、下、补之法，重视养阴增液，治泄泻敢用“通因通用”，治便秘另有理气三法。文字质实，不事铺陈，方证药量多按原貌记录，对临床医生而言比一般传记更实用。丛书体例统一、篇幅精炼，一两个晚上可通读，又适合反复查阅。

Who it's for

A good fit for

从事中医内科、温病学临床的医师，希望借鉴名家辨治热病与杂病的思路
中医院校温病学、中医内科学方向的研究生与青年教师

没有任何中医基础、期望通俗科普或养生读物的普通读者

Reading tips

先读“医家小传”把握孟氏的师承与学术立场，再读“专病论治”，理解其治法的由来。
按病证选读，读到某方某法时可对照其《温病学》统编教材与《孟澍江温病学讲稿》互证。
读医案时先自行辨病辨证、拟方立法，再与书中处方比对，记录差异与收获。
对“通因通用治泄泻”“治疗便秘理气三法”等专题做笔记，并结合自身临床验证后再取舍。

FAQ

这本书和《孟澍江温病学讲稿》是同一本书吗？

不是。本书属于“中国百年百名中医临床家丛书”，以医家小传加专病论治的医案医论为主；《孟澍江温病学讲稿》则据其讲授《温病学》五版教材的讲稿整理，分为总论、各论与温病名著选讲三部分，属教材讲稿性质。

孟澍江在温病学上的主要贡献是什么？

他是现代温病学学科与课程体系的创始人之一，与同仁首次将散见于古代医著中的温病学内容按现代学科体系梳理成教材，并担任全国中医院校第1至5版《温病学》统编教材主编，长期主持南京中医药大学温病学的教学与研究。

本书适合零基础的中医爱好者读吗？

不太适合。书中大量方证、药量与辨证术语按专业体例书写，未作通俗化处理，零基础读者读起来会比较吃力，更适合已有中医基础或临床背景的人研读。

书中收录的医案是孟澍江本人所写吗？

全书由其学生杨进等整理编写，部分病案注明为“孟教授手录”，即出自孟氏本人手笔；其余为整理者据其诊疗记录与讲授内容归纳而成，阅读时注意区分。

本书初版年份与定价是多少？

由中国中医药出版社于2001年10月出版第一版，32开平装，230页，约17.4万字，初版定价11.00元。旧书市场价格已随品相与稀缺程度而变动。

About the author

杨进 Author

Yang Jin: public information is limited. Two works currently appear under this name, falling respectively in medicine and architecture. In medicine, the author took part in organizing the classic edition of the Wenyi Tiaobian in the Must-Read Series for TCM Clinical Practice, a book centered on a foundational text of warm-disease studies and intended for readers who need to study traditional Chinese medical classics, reflecting an attention to the compilation and dissemination of classical medical texts. In architecture, the work Tolerant Road Design for Mountain Cities addresses road design in mountainous urban settings and belongs to practical writing in urban transport and road engineering. The two works differ widely in subject, one being TCM literature and the other engineering design, suggesting the author may have worked in or contributed to more than one professional field. Because reliable biographical information is lacking, the author's background, career, and institutional affiliation cannot be confirmed and are not speculated upon here; only the subjects of the works are briefly introduced.

张文康 Author

Zhang Wenkang: publicly available information is limited, and all that is known is that two medical works appear under this name. The first, Mingdao: Eighty Years of Professor Sun Guangrong, a National Master of Chinese Medicine, recounts the life of Sun Guangrong and his eighty years of scholarship and medical practice, and belongs to the field of contemporary studies of Chinese medicine figures. The second, On Healthy Development: Selected Papers from the First Annual Meeting of the Healthy China 50 Forum, gathers papers from that meeting and discusses issues in the development of health undertakings. One is a portrait of a person, the other a collection of forum papers; both fall within medicine and health, showing an interest in the transmission of Chinese medicine and in health policy discussion. The writing leans toward documentary narrative and the compilation of topics, offering readable material for understanding the figures and health issues concerned.
