Hi, as a die-hard TCM fan, I would like to recommend to you two TCM books that I particularly like, which are very suitable for TCM enthusiasts who are just starting out to read carefully.

I. Think Chinese Medicine

Liu Lihong, a famous Chinese medicine practitioner and professor in Guangxi, received his doctorate degree in 1992. In 2007, he was honored with the World Outstanding Chinese Award.

Reflections on Chinese Medicine has had quite an impact. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is an ancient and magical medicine, but most of us do not really know it. This book tries to let the readers realize the real side of Chinese medicine with understandable reasoning, vivid examples and figurative analogies, so that the readers will be able to understand the mysteries of internal organs, discover the nature of diseases and explore the methods of curing diseases.

II. Ancient Chinese Medicine in Circular Motion

The author of this book is Peng Ziyi, a Chinese medicine practitioner in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, who is the "father of the revival of Chinese medicine", and the second saint in medicine after Zhang Zhongjing, the Sage of Medicine. This book to the "I Ching" Hetu in the gas lift circular movement of the theory, to crack the "Neijing", "difficult classic", "Shennong Ben Cao Jing", "typhoid miscellaneous disease theory", the doctrine of warm diseases of the ancient mystery, from the head of the complicated ancient medical scriptures, the rationale for the "life of the universe as a whole", scientific and practical Chinese medicine system of science. It has become an introductory guide and a ladder of success for the contemporary development of Chinese medicine.

I have been treasuring this book in my bookcase, and it is very inspiring for those who are interested in Chinese medicine to know about this book.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to leave a message and thank you for your trust.

Want to learn Chinese medicine, but also a quick start, I'm not a Chinese medicine, but like to read Chinese medicine theory, I think a lot of Chinese medicine say have sense, but are not very thorough, until I saw Ni Haixia's video, I think he speaks funny, and very direct, learn Chinese medicine or more to see his books and videos.

About how much medication, Ni Haixia said, he opened the prescription some pharmacies dare not sell drugs! Well, a 150 grams of epiphyllum will scare the drugstore to death, so much epiphyllum you want to kill people? Not for sale!

Pharmacies sell drugs, used to seeing 15 grams of epiphyllum, all of a sudden see 150 grams, it is normal to be afraid.

I once because of lumbar spondylosis, get a prescription, buy all over the drugstore is still missing two drugs, the results are not, I came to Wangjiangjing town Zhang Xin a drugstore, the results of the encounter with the drugstore owner, I said to buy two drugs, he had to look at the prescription, no prescription is not sold, and finally did not buy into the lack of two drugs forget it, but also used as usual, the back is also good for a very long time.

Ni Haixia said that these pharmacies can not say that he is bad, can only say that he is not really understand Chinese medicine, he said that the amount of medication for treatment of medicine is not enough to cure up is to give the disease scratching, treatment is not good but also said that you are not good at medicine, in fact, it is not enough to cause the amount of medicine.

First of all, three books: First, the medicinal properties of the song includes 40O flavors. Second, the soup head song decision vernacular solution, third is the frequency of Lake Pulse Vocabulary vernacular solution. These three books should be read and memorized. Sun real said: do not know the Yi is not enough to say its medical. Take a look at Zhou Yi and Chinese medicine. Reference to some acupuncture books hold the meridian circulation chart. (I am a bitter person, due to the brotherhood of many leisure difficulties, the third grade did not finish elementary school, my father proposed to let me stop school. I was a good student in school, the captain of the Young Pioneers, unwilling to stop school, always sneaking to school. After a long time, my father was furious, and I remember that he beat me to death during the wheat-cutting time in '62. In the middle of the night, my mother secretly look at me did not die, untie the bundle of straw binding me, give me some dime a dime of broken money secretly put me away, has always been one in the begging for food to make ends meet. Later, an old man who sells his own dug herbs took me in, while digging herbs to sell, ah! Insert a sum of money: this old man recognized me as a godson, and later asked me to address the master. It is his hometown to buy me the above three books, and bought a dictionary, so I learned Chinese medicine. 68 years and conscripted into the army, spare time to read the three books brought from home, even the party branch ordered me to serve as a hygienist, in 7O years, and I was sent to read the Hubei College of Traditional Chinese Medicine study. (Very hard ah ......) in Hubei College of Traditional Chinese Medicine during the study, the old master and gave me four words: pathology pharmacology is really proficient, grasp the condition to break the disease, according to the shape of the sound and color of the pulse, prescription prescription flexibility. These four words, I have been I put into the stomach of the treasure, the old master in the letter to me again and again told me to the Zhouyi book of God also seriously learn, at that time can not buy this kind of book, the old master from the old home to me to find a few grass version of the Chinese medicine Zhouyi disease said, so I have achieved my life. So, as long as serious, hard, hard work, will be able to learn Chinese medicine.

I have been practicing and teaching Chinese medicine for many years, and I have seen the problem and come to share my views with you.

First, Chinese medicine can indeed be self-taught, but the process is very difficult. If you want to learn Chinese medicine well, you must be prepared to suffer. Learning can be divided into two parts: theoretical learning and practical learning.

1. Theoretical studies

First, we will study Basic Theory of Chinese Medicine and Chinese Herbal Medicine, then Chinese Medicine Diagnostics, and finally the clinical courses of Chinese Medicine, Internal Medicine, External Medicine, Gynecology, and Pediatrics, in a gradual and orderly manner, with no shortcuts.

Recommended:

(1) Use the ''13th Five-Year Plan Textbook for Higher Education in the Chinese Medicine Industry'', Basic Theory of Chinese Medicine, Chinese Medicine, Chinese Medicine Diagnostics, Chinese Medicine Internal Medicine, Chinese Medicine Surgery, Chinese Medicine Gynecology, Chinese Medicine Pediatrics, Acupuncture and Moxibustion, and so on. Chinese Medicine, Chinese Medicine Diagnostics, Chinese Medicine Internal Medicine, Chinese Medicine Surgery, Chinese Medicine Gynecology, Chinese Medicine Pediatrics, and Acupuncture and Moxibustion.

(2) Lecture videos of various Chinese medicine practitioners

2. Hands-on learning

There is an old saying ''It is better to familiarize yourself with Wang Shuhe than to have more clinical experience'', which means ''Practice is very important in the study of Chinese medicine'', but due to the relevant provisions of laws and regulations, self-learners cannot treat patients without a medical license. ', but due to the relevant provisions of laws and regulations, self-educators do not have a physician's qualification certificate is not able to diagnose and treat the disease for the patient, that is an illegal act.

My advice:

(1) Self-teachers can find sick friends and relatives to simulate doing consultations and prescriptions, and then take the patients to hospitals for consultations and comparative studies. It is laborious, but the possibility of success is higher.

(2) Watch a video of a Chinese medicine clinic.

Second, medicine is a ''human life is at stake'' science and cannot be easily ''tried and tested'', so I do not recommend self-study. If it is just a hobby, I suggest reading a few health books to improve the health of yourself and your family. If you really love Chinese medicine and want to do something for Chinese medicine, then I suggest you to go to Chinese medicine colleges and universities to study or learn from a systematic teacher.

Third, a reminder: there is no "physician's license", "license" unauthorized medical activities, is illegal, will be subject to relevant penalties, it is recommended that self-educators do not violate the law.

I am a self-taught Chinese medicine practitioner. In the 1980s, I passed an examination to obtain a physician's license issued by the Provincial Health Department. If you want to learn Chinese medicine on your own, you must first understand the contents of Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine is divided into three parts: first, the basic theory of Chinese medicine, second, Chinese medicine prescription, third, clinical subjects. Beginners must be three parts at the same time, the most suitable for beginners should have a "Chinese medicine", which has the basic theory and clinical subjects. There should also be a book of Commonly Used Chinese Medicines. A book of "Formulary", which has a song for easy memorization. There are such three books, can master, for organic combination, that is a complete Chinese medicine. To further become a doctor, you must study hard, all the schools of thought. Such as the "theory of typhoid fever", "the Golden Chamber", this is very important. Then on the writings of the four major Jin Yuan, there is Li Dongyuan's "spleen and stomach theory", Zhang Congzheng's attack on the doctrine of disease, (i.e., sweat, down, spit). The cold and cool school of Liu Hechang, and the nourishing Yin school of Zhu Danxi. Qing Dynasty warm disease scholar Ye Gui's Theory of Warm-Heat, Wu Jutong's Explanation of Warm Diseases, Wang Qingren's Reformulation of the Medical Forest, and so on. For pulse study, beginners had better not take it as the main course to study, because in the clinic through the look, smell, ask three diagnosis on the disease has been understood roughly, pulse cutting is secondary. You can learn medicine on the road by cutting the pulse will gradually master its mystery, by that time to the pulse to push the disease, through the three fingers cut diagnosis, can analyze and elaborate the patient's disease, that is the god doctor! Follow me to get more coaching.

Must be in the country's formal University of Traditional Chinese Medicine to study, can be complete and systematic study of Chinese medicine knowledge, after graduation with a bachelor's degree certificate, you can apply for licensed medical practitioner certificate, in order to legally practise medicine.

Both paths are fine if you are self-taught to heal and save people, rather than licensed to practice medicine and open a business.

First Path:

1. To study the Fundamentals of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), including the theory of essence and qi, the theory of yin and yang, the theory of the five elements, the theory of the Tibetan image, the theory of meridians and collaterals, the theory of constitution, the cause of disease, and the mechanism of disease, etc., with reference to the fifth edition of the tutorials.

2, learning typhoid miscellany, including typhoid fever and Jin Gui, focusing on recommended tutorials and recordings of Ni Haixia.

3, the herb please see the "Materia Medica Prepara", never read Li Shizhen's book.

4. After digesting Ni Haixia's book, refer to the tutorials of other scripturalists, with emphasis on Hu Xishu and Liu Duzhou.

5. After that, it's time to really learn the foundation of Chinese medicine, the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine.

6, medical and easy not to distinguish, when you really trace the Chinese medicine, you must learn the I Ching and Taoist culture, such as Tao Te Ching and so on.

The second path is to study only the books of Huang Yuan-Yi:

1. The Four Sacred Heart Sources

2. Changsha Pharmaceutical Solution

3. Typhoid suspension

4. The Golden Poverty Suspended Solution

...... Eleven books by Huang Yuan-Yi, and of course when studying The Four Sacred Sources of the Heart, see Ancient Chinese Medicine in Circular Motion.

Good luck with your self-study. You should know that Huang Yuan-Yi started his medical studies after the age of 30.

Thanks for the invitation! What books were used to enlighten children in the old days? Many people would say "Three Character Classic". In the same way, there is a book in Chinese medicine that was written in the Qing Dynasty called "Three Character Classic of Medicine", which is recommended as an introductory book.

In addition to the Three Character Classic of Medicine, there are also the Fugue of Medicinal Properties, the Tantou Gezhi, and the Pulse Study of the Lying Lake. Because these four medical books, medical theory is simple and easy to understand, easy to grasp and understand, is the most convenient, practical teaching materials for beginners to learn Chinese medicine, as opposed to the four major classics, so there are four small classics of the so-called, is traditionally the introduction to Chinese medicine books, memorize these books is the basic skills of students of Chinese medicine.

Some modern books, such as The Way of Famous Chinese Medicine Practitioners, are also highly recommended as introductory books to increase interest in learning and learning methods in the field. The modern university textbooks Basic Theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Diagnostics of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Chinese Herbal Medicine, Formulary, Internal Medicine of Traditional Chinese Medicine are all good introductory books.

As for some Netflix TCM books, such as Thinking TCM and Vulcanist books, they are strongly not recommended as introductory books. These books do not have the qualities of an introductory book, and the writing is too radical, and even some things are a bit far-fetched, which will lead students who do not have the ability to differentiate into the wrong path.

Watching Ni Haixia's videos, starting with acupuncture, Huang Di Nei Jing, Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing, Typhoid Theory, Jin Gui Yao Liao, and so on, surpasses most of the quacks in hospitals today.
