As a masterpiece of Professor Duan Yishan's 60 year intensive study of ancient medical texts,Interpretation of Ancient Medical Literature by Duan Yishan is a 540,000-word collection of 80 pieces of ancient medical texts and their interpretations from the pre-Qin period to the Ming and Qing dynasties,embodying the philosophy of"cultivating one's character in daily life and deeds".It reflects Professor Duan Yishan's steadfast adherence to ancient medical culture and literature,a solid foundation of knowledge,and his character of being a venerable scholar.The book adheres to the principles of"extensive collection of interpretations of ancient texts from different periods"and"utilizing only one interpretation for each phrase",and corrects inappropriate interpretations in previous compilations.It collects a large number of notes and annotations from ancient Chinese literature,and emphasizes understanding the meaning of the text and feeling the lifelike stories behind texts with heart,proposing the requirement that the teaching of medical ancient literature should focus on interpretations of original texts.Professor Duan Yishan gladly accepts the publisher's suggestion to change traditional Chinese characters in the book to simplified ones,bravely altering the traditional practice of using traditional Chinese characters in the interpretation of ancient medical literature,thus making a bold attempt to promote the wider dissemination of traditional Chinese medicine culture.
