本书科学系统地介绍了中国传统医学的理论基础、临床应用及中西医结合治疗的优势。本书具有如下特点：1、中医理论部分。本书在介绍中医理论及文化背景的同时，也关注与相应时期西方(古希腊)医学理论及文化背景的比较分析，以此使西方读者对中医的理解更加清楚到位。2、中医基本知识部分。突出介绍中医一些独特的方法，及与西医的互补性。3、临床治疗部分。在病种的选择方面，本书没有简单地选择西医没有办法而中医有疗效的常见病种进行介绍，或简单地选取一些病例予以佐证，而是严格根据西方医学最为看重的“循证医学”原则(RCCT，即：Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial)进行病种的遴选和病例分析。

Infinite Divisibility of Yin and Yang The divisibility of yin and yang is infinite.As stated in the Internal Classic，Yin and yang can be counted in tens？and can be extended to hundreds|thousands or infinity.For example.day and night can be divided into yin andyang,in which day is yang，while night is yin。Each can be further dividedinto yin and yang：morning is yang in yang,while afternoon is yin in yang；theperiod from nightfall to midnight is yin in yin，while the period of the smallhours is yang in yin.Among the zang-fu organs，zang-organs that are situateddeeply in the interior,pertain to yin，while fu-organs that communicate with theexterior,pertain to yang.Among the zang-organs，the heart and lung，situatedin the upper portion of the body（thoracic cavity），pertain to yang，while theliver,spleen and kidney,situated in the lower portion of the body（abdominalcavity），to yin.In terms of an organ，it can be further divided into yin and yang,e.g.，the heart can be divided into the heart yin（the yin aspect of the heart，which quietens and moistens the heart and mind）and the heart yang（the yangaspect of the heart，which stimulates and activates the heart and mind），thekidney can be divided into the kidney yin（the yin aspect of the kidne~whichmoistens and nourishes all the organs）and the kidney yang（the yang aspect ofthe kidney,which warms and activates all the organs）. In summary,the theory of yin-yang as a dialectic way of thinking can beapplied to any field of medicine.All the life activities，including physiologicaland pathological processes，can be explained by opposition，interdependenceand transformation of yin and yang.Dynamic balance of yin and yang leadsto normal physiological activities，while breakdown of the yin-yang balance todisease.Any treatment is aimed at restoring the normal dynamic balance of yinand yang.So,Zhang Jingyue stated in his well-known Jingyues Complete Works（1624）：“Although medicine is complicated，it Can be summed up in one word，namely,yin-yang？”
