4. 《金匱要略》 |
| The "Jin Kui Yao Lue," also known as "Prescriptions from the Golden Cabinet" or "Synopsis of Prescriptions of the Golden Chamber," is the earliest monograph on the diagnosis and treatment of miscellaneous diseases in Chinese history, as well as one of the classics of TCM. The text was written by Zhang Zhongjing in the early 3th century at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The book was actually compiled by later generations from his original works "Shang Han Za Bing Lun" ("Treatise on Cold Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases"). The other book compiled from the same works is called "Shang Han Lun" ("Treatise on Cold Damage Disorders"). |
《金匱要略》是中國(guó)現(xiàn)存最早的一部診治雜病的專著，是中醫(yī)經(jīng)典古籍之一，由東漢張仲景撰于3世紀(jì)初。張仲景原著《傷寒雜病論》，經(jīng)后人整理編纂將內(nèi)容分為兩部書：《傷寒論》和《金匱要略》。 |
| The book is divided into three volumes and 25 chapters: The first volume tells of the way to differentiate variants of the cold; the second volume discusses the details of miscellaneous illnesses; and the third volume describes the prescriptions and ways of treatment. |
該書共3卷，25篇。上卷為辨?zhèn)?，中卷則論雜病，下卷記藥方。 |
| Later in the Northern Song Dynasty, the book was recompiled, with 262 pieces of prescriptions and more than 60 diseases listed in 25 chapters, mainly covering the internal miscellaneous illnesses as well as some external diseases and gynecological and obstetric diseases. |
北宋年間，該書被重新編校，全書共25篇，方劑262首，列舉病癥六十余種，所述病證以內(nèi)科雜病為主，兼有部分外科婦產(chǎn)科等病證。 |
