Fu Qing-zhuās GynaecologyĀ is perhaps the single most famous book on traditional Chinese gynaecology and obstetrics. Dating from the early Qing dynasty, this book established many of the disease mechanisms and pattern diagnoses now standard in contemporary Chinese gynaecology. This book is also the source of many of Chinese gynaecologyās most famous formulas. Not content to merely summarise and parrot previous classics, Fu Qing-zhu set forth his own ideas and analysis based on his extensive personal clinical experience.
Fu keĀ or gynaecology is one of traditional Chinese medicine or TCMās most often practiced and most effective specialties. No practitioner attempting to specialize in this field can afford to be ignorant of Fu Qing-zhuās monumental work in gynaecology. However, whether or not one specialises in gynaecology, all practitioners of TCM will find this book a valuable reference for their clinical library. Fu Qing-zhuās logical analysis of signs and symptoms is a masterful example of applying the TCM methodology. His composition of formulas based on that logic is a masterful example of simplicity, economy, naturalness, and doing without doing. In addition, practitioners will appreciate Fu Qing-zhuās use of common Chinese medicinals with which all TCM practitioners should be familiar.
