Summary

Zhang Lishan is chief physician and professor at Dongzhimen Hospital, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. He studied under Professor Wu Weiping, revered Zhang Zhongjing's art, and in clinical practice prescribed Changsha's formulas. Later he met Professor Feng Shilun and came to learn Hu Xishu's "six meridians-eight principles-formula pattern" academic system, applying it widely in clinical practice. Professor Zhang Lishan practices pulmonary medicine, and most of his clinical cases are respiratory disorders. He finds Zhongjing's methods fitting for clinical practice: for exogenous fever, there are often times when one dose of Minor Bupleurum Decoction achieves results; for asthma patients, cases are repeatedly seen where Belamcanda and Ephedra Decoction produces phlegm and calms wheezing. Cough with phlegm and wheezing can all be identified by the six meridians; fever with chest oppression can all seek methods from Cold Damage. Whenever Professor Zhang Lishan sees a patient, he first seeks method from Changsha, and whether effective or not, repeatedly ponders it. This book is a collection of his lectures at classical formula conferences over the years and teaching medical cases for his disciples, vivid and true.

Editor's review

This book collects Professor Zhang Lishan's lectures at classical formula conferences over the years and his teaching medical cases; its core value lies in grounding Hu Xishu's "six meridians-eight principles-formula pattern" academic system in concrete clinical settings. The author practices pulmonary medicine, and the recorded cases mostly center on respiratory disorders such as exogenous fever, asthma, and cough with phlegm and wheezing, showing how to seek formulas and medication from Zhongjing's methods—for example, Minor Bupleurum Decoction to reduce fever and Belamcanda and Ephedra Decoction to transform phlegm and calm wheezing—with clear reasoning and formula-pattern correspondence. Unlike ordinary case collections, the book preserves the thinking process of "whether effective or not, repeatedly pondering," with a vivid, true teaching tone, allowing readers to follow the author's pattern-identification thinking through a clinical encounter. It is suitable as a bridge reading for classical formula learners moving from theory to practice, and also for TCM clinicians doing thematic study on the differentiation and treatment of respiratory diseases. When reading, one should compare with the original texts of Treatise on Cold Damage and Essentials of the Golden Cabinet to appreciate the author's sense of discretion.

Who it's for

A good fit for

  • TCM students who have completed basic TCM theory and formulas and wish to enter classical formula clinical practice
  • TCM physicians in respiratory or internal medicine who want to draw on six-meridian pattern-identification thinking
  • Learners interested in Hu Xishu's academic system who want to deepen understanding through medical cases
  • Community TCM physicians needing to handle common conditions such as exogenous fever and cough with wheezing

Not a good fit for

  • General readers with no TCM foundation and unfamiliar with the formula patterns of Treatise on Cold Damage
  • Readers seeking systematic textbook-style theoretical exposition rather than case records
  • Clinicians seeking standardized Western medicine diagnosis and treatment protocols for respiratory diseases

Reading tips

  1. First read the table of contents grouped by disease pattern, and select fever and cough/wheezing cases most relevant to one's own practice for close reading.
  2. For each case, first identify the pattern and prescribe oneself, then compare with the author's medication, recording differences and reasons.
  3. Keep the original texts of Treatise on Cold Damage and Essentials of the Golden Cabinet at hand to check passages whenever formula patterns arise.
  4. Focus on the "ineffective" cases in the book, sorting out clues in the author's adjustments.

FAQ

Can someone who hasn't systematically studied Treatise on Cold Damage understand this book?
It can be read, but the gain will be reduced. The book presents six-meridian-eight-principles-formula pattern thinking in case form, involving many formula-pattern terms and textual bases. If one has had no contact with Treatise on Cold Damage, it is advisable to first build up basic passages and common formulas, then return to the cases to follow the author's pattern-identification logic.
How does this book differ from ordinary classical formula case collections?
The book originates from Professor Zhang Lishan's conference lectures and teaching sessions, preserving colloquial explanations and the process of "whether effective or not, repeatedly pondering," rather than merely listing successful cases. The author is grounded in pulmonary clinical practice, and the cases concentrate on respiratory disorders, making it strongly thematic and convenient for readers to make in-depth comparisons on specific conditions.
Should the formulas in the book be copied exactly?
They should not be copied exactly. The use of classical formulas stresses formula-pattern correspondence and individualized pattern identification; the cases in the book are the author's choices under specific conditions. Readers should focus on learning the pattern-identification path and modification thinking, judging in light of their own patients, and must not simply match formulas to symptoms.

About the author

戴雁彦 Author

Dai Yanyan is an author engaged in medical writing. Publicly available information about this author is limited: nationality, dates of birth and death, and educational background are not clearly recorded. According to the library's holdings, the author has only one work, Jingfang Pai'an.2 (Classic Formula Case Notes, Volume 2), which is classified under medicine and belongs to a series of works on classic formulas. Judging from the title and classification, the book centers on classic formulas of traditional Chinese medicine and may record clinical pattern differentiation and prescribing approaches in the form of medical cases, reflecting the study and practical experience of classical formulas. Writing of this kind usually emphasizes the correspondence between formulas and patterns, case-by-case analysis, and the summary of experience, and is intended mainly for scholars of Chinese medicine and clinical enthusiasts. Because biographical information about the author is scarce, the author's overall academic profile and full body of writing are difficult to assess; the present introduction is based mainly on cautious inferences from the title and classification of this single work, and further details await additional materials.
