Want to learn Chinese medicine, buy compendium of materia medica. Who can tell me which version is the most complete and original? The kind without abridged editions and famous reviews.
If you want to learn Chinese medicine, I suggest you read the basic theory of Chinese medicine first, then the diagnosis of Chinese medicine, and then the Chinese medicine and prescription. These are several basic courses. After reading it, I have almost understood it. After recording all the classes on this machine, I can watch professional courses such as internal medicine, surgery and gynecology of traditional Chinese medicine. If you have read all these classes, you can read some ancient books to improve your level. Because ancient books are written in classical Chinese, they can't be understood without the foundation of Chinese medicine. Jin Jian of Medical Zong is a good book, which basically covers all the contents from the middle school to the swollen poison, and is from the Ming Dynasty. The key to being able to read is to understand. If you want to be optimistic about the disease, you should still read Treatise on Febrile Diseases, which is a classic of Chinese medicine. Don't read Huangdi Neijing for the time being. Although it is a classic of Chinese medicine, it is not easy to understand. Compendium of Materia Medica mainly talks about traditional Chinese medicine. There are too many medicines, most of which are not used in clinic. Don't watch it, it will be very annoying in the end!
