Summary

Formulary of Traditional Chinese Medicine (9th Edition) is one of the national higher education textbooks of the 12th Five-Year Plan for the traditional Chinese medicine industry. Edited by Li Ji and published by China Press of Traditional Chinese Medicine in 2012, it is intended mainly for students of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture and tuina, integrated Chinese-Western clinical medicine, and Chinese pharmacy, and is one of the core textbooks of basic TCM theory. The book consists of an introduction, Part One (General Introduction), and Part Two (Specific Discussions). Part One presents the origin and development of formulas, formulas and therapeutic methods, classification of formulas, dosage forms, decoction and administration methods, and the principles and modifications of formula composition, helping readers build an overall framework of "governing formulas by therapeutic methods." Part Two follows that principle and, by action, divides formulas into 20 chapters: diaphoretic formulas, purgative formulas, harmonizing formulas, heat-clearing formulas, summerheat-dispelling formulas, interior-warming formulas, formulas releasing both exterior and interior, tonifying formulas, astringent formulas, tranquilizing formulas, orifice-opening formulas, qi-regulating formulas, blood-regulating formulas, wind-treating formulas, dryness-treating formulas, dampness-resolving formulas, phlegm-resolving formulas, digestion-promoting formulas, anthelmintic formulas, and emetic formulas. It includes 210 principal formulas and 133 supplementary formulas, each discussed in terms of composition, usage, action, indications, formula analysis, and application, with a formula name index at the end for easy reference. While continuing traditional classification, this edition also addresses modern teaching needs, making it an important reference for classroom teaching, exam review, and clinical formula composition in TCM colleges, and it was still listed as a reference for related master's entrance examinations in 2018.

Editor's review

《方剂学》是中医专业学习中承上启下的核心课程:学完中药学之后,要在这里学会把药“组织成方”。李冀主编的第9版是流传最广的版本之一,被众多中医药院校用作课堂教材,也长期出现在考研参考书目中,配套资源与二手书都很好找。本书的优点是体系清晰:总论先把治法、分类、剂型、煎服法、组方原则讲透,再进入各论按功用分20章展开,210首正方加133首附方,一以贯之“以法统方”的线索;每首方从组成、用法、功用、主治到方解、运用层层推进,便于理解为什么要用这几味药、剂量与配伍如何调整。书末方名索引方便随时回查。对自学者而言,它比歌诀类读物更系统,比临床专著更易懂,适合做第一本“主干教材”。需要提醒的是,本版内容以院校教学体系为准,剂量与用法须结合现代规范与临床实际,切勿照书自服。

Who it's for

A good fit for

  • 中医药院校中医学、针灸推拿学、中药学等专业在读学生
  • 备考中医类研究生入学考试、执业医师考试的考生
  • 已学完中药学、希望系统建立组方思路的中医自学者
  • 需要一本规范教材作查检工具的中医临床工作者

Not a good fit for

  • 只想背几首常用方、不愿理解组方原理的速成读者
  • 完全没有中医基础理论、中药学基础的零起点读者
  • 期待大量医案与临床验案讲解的读者

Reading tips

  1. 先通读上篇总论,把治法、分类与组方原则理清,再进入各论学习,避免只见方不见法。
  2. 每学一首正方,先默写组成与功用,再对照方解推演君臣佐使,最后用附方比较异同。
  3. 结合中药学与中医基础理论同步复习,遇到剂量与煎服法问题以现行药典和临床规范为准。
  4. 把方名索引当作随身查检表,定期按章节回看错题与易混方,形成自己的对比笔记。

About the author

李冀 Author

Li Ji is a book author about whom limited public information is available. Three works by this author are included in the collection, represented by Fangjixue (Thirteenth Five-Year Plan), Fangjixue Suji, and Fangjixue. These titles show that the author's writing focuses on formula science (fangjixue), a foundational subject in traditional Chinese medicine. Fangjixue (Thirteenth Five-Year Plan) is a textbook-style work that systematically sets out the composition, compatibility, and clinical application of formulas, while Fangjixue Suji is aimed at exam preparation and everyday memorization, summarizing the key points of commonly used formulas in a concise form. These works are usually filed under exam and medical categories and mainly serve students at Chinese medicine colleges, exam candidates, and practitioners who need to review formula knowledge. Because public information is limited, the author's nationality, dates of birth and death, education, and positions cannot be confirmed; judged by the existing works, however, the writing is clearly organized and highlights key points, balancing systematic coverage with practical use so that readers can move between classroom study and exam review.
