This four-volume series was compiled especially for foreign
students studying in China. It draws on the contents of
the national textbooks used by full-time colleges of TCM,
while taking into consideration cultural differences and
the amount of classroom study time available. The depth
and range of the contents and the scientific and ideological
levels have been considered and adjusted accordingly, thereby
simplifying the contents while preserving the essence of
TCM and its theories. Volume I covers the history, basic
theory and diagnosis; Volume II deals with pharmacy and
science of TCM prescriptions, Vol. III and IV covers
traditional internal medicine and the theories of acupuncture
and moxibustion.
