@Kaikit Good question. The answer is I don’t know. I have always bought my books while in China. I suspect there might be a way. You could start with some searches at http://www.baidu.com.

Is there any way to buy this book over the net?

@ Z’ev, I’m already back from China. Now I wish that I had brought back a dozen of these. Perhaps I can get one of my friends in Beijing to send some across the pond.
I like Huang’s constitutional focus as it helps me to orient myself in clinic. The way 胡希恕 thinks about how illness touches on the various warp is also very helpful in figuring out how a person’s problem is lodged and configured. This guy has some very clear ideas about what signs point to which warp.

@ Eran, it is focused on the style of 胡希恕, but there are also case studies from 劉度舟 and 範中林, who is one of the “fire god” current guys. All and all a juicy read. I’ll be translating some more snippets from it and posting them here.

It seems as though this book is written about the style of 胡希恕。I have read a couple of his books recently and find them to be quite insightful. I hadn’t seen this one before. Great find Michael.

This is EXACTLY the kind of book I am looking for. Very precise, and liu jing at the core. Could you please bring me back a copy from China?

It is very similar to how Arnaud Versluys teaches Shang Han Lun. .

It is a really interesting book. Has excellent case studies, a bunch of formula presentations and at the end he goes through the Shang Han Lun line by line and “decodes” the symptoms and maps them to the various warp. Good stuff.

Comparing Formula Presentations: Five Steps to Differential Diagnosis in the Treatment of Cold Damage, in Chinese it is 方證相對：傷寒辯證論治五步. It was published in February of this year by the 中國中醫藥出版社.
