About the book >.>.> An initial translation of this text first appeared on my desk over four years ago. At the time I was asked to review the translation and edit it for English clarity. Working from the original Chinese version it quickly became clear to me that the text would require major retranslation rather than simple editing. I therefore took on the project of retranslating the text using the original translation as a guide. I decided to work on the text because I felt that it filled a large gap in the currently available English language textbooks. This text fits into an Oriental medicine curriculum in between such books as Nigel Wiseman and Andy Ellis’ Fundamentals of Chinese Medicine and Yan Wu’s Practical Thera- peutics of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It is to be studied after one has learned the basic theories and principles of Chinese medicine but it does not provide a discussion of treatment principles or therapeutic choices. Rather Practical Diagnosis in Traditional Chinese Medicine is designed to guide the student and practitioner through a comprehensive discussion of the four examin ations and pattern identification and then to aid them in understanding the differentiations of some of the major symptom complexess The primary author of the Chinese language version of Practical Diagnosis in Traditional Chinese Medicine Tietao Deng is an extremely well-known and respected physician and professor in southern China and the editor and author of several texts and articles in Chinese.
