Zheng Qin'an's three books of medicine to read, and then look at the current Chinese medicine internal medicine. These all understand, you are a famous doctor.

Therefore, the study of Chinese medicine must cultivate hobbies, there is a book if the beginner can let the first glimpse of the door of Chinese medicine theory, and will not be very difficult to understand, this book is called "a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner's growth", I recommended to my many students read, I should say that the effect is still good. With hobbies and interests and know a little about the next real study of the classics of Chinese medicine, "Huang Di Nei Jing", "Typhoid", "Difficulties", "Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing", "Golden匱要略", "Compendium of Materia Medica" and so on.

Luo Dalun, Ni Haixia, Hao Wanshan, Li Hanqing
Increase interest, ignite passion, build a good foundation, and be safe!
This is the path I have personally summarized from my self-study of Chinese medicine.
Luo Daren (1926-1989), founding member of Chinese communist party: M.D., narrated by The Hundred Lectures on Great Chinese Medicine will give you an insight into the medical skills and virtues of famous ancient doctors.
Ni Haixia:Tian Ji, meridians, Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing, Huang Di Nei Jing, the theory of typhoid fever, Jin Gui Yao Liao, a comprehensive and systematic explanation will let you know how powerful Chinese medicine is.
Hao Wanshan:Rigorous and meticulous, every word of the theory of typhoid fever every word not a sentence, from pronunciation to meaning, all interpreted clearly, and the formula dosage is also very authoritative test, is good to do a good theory of typhoid fever the foundation of the super good textbook.
Li Hanqing:The use of the formula as God, rigorous and meticulous, many of the contraindications of the scriptures and even detailed to drink cold water or hot water are to be strictly defined, is definitely a super safety lock before prescribing.
Of course this is just my personal favorite teacher, because there are so many good books and teachers, and as long as the direction is right, Chinese medicine is really good to learn, and I'm thankful to live in this information age!
Huangdi Neijing (Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine), Treatise on Typhoid Fever, Treatise on Typhoid Miscellaneous Diseases, Classical Classics, Classical Classics Tuyi, Materia Medica, Luck
There are also "meridian science", "heat and warmth", "wind and fire", "six nong ...... and so on ~ a lot more!
First you need to give yourself a clearer position:
First, just a Chinese medicine enthusiasts, concerned about the general knowledge of health and wellness. Spare time to browse more popular Chinese medicine science books can be.
Second, to be a TCM doctor, you must focus on the following four major aspects:
First, to pay attention to the culture of Chinese medicine. For example, the movie and TV series Pop Pop, Rain and Shine Tong Ren Tang, The Divine Physician Xilai Le, and other literary works, in order to enhance the interest and hobby in Chinese medicine.
Second, familiarize yourself with the classics. Shennong Ben Cao Jing, Huang Di Nei Jing, The Treatise on Typhoid and Miscellaneous Diseases, The Compendium of Materia Medica, The Pulse of the Lying Lake, The Pulse Meridian, The Song of Medicinal Properties Including Four Hundred Flavors, The Song of Soup Heads, The Treatise on Leigong Concoctions, and The Fugue of Medicinal Properties. ......
Third, more clinical evidence. "Read Wang Shuhe , not as much as the clinical disease", theory and practice, and constantly summarize the experience in the clinic, for every Chinese medicine practitioner, are very important. Because, Chinese medicine is a practical discipline.
Fourth, emphasize the cultivation of medical ethics. Remember "All for the people's health!" "Save the dead and help the wounded, and practise revolutionary humanitarianism"!
Third, Chinese medicine everyone. As the old saying goes: the upper doctor treats the country, the middle doctor treats the undiseased, and the lower doctor treats the sick.
If you want to become a Chinese medicine everyone, that is, the ancient cloud on the doctor, you must know astronomy, geography, and human nature. That is, the so-called "heaven and earth and man" and yin and yang, five elements, taiji gossip, qin and chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and song ...... nothing, nothing fine. It's really quite difficult.
