Synopsis of Prescriptions of the Golden Chamber with 300 cases

[Guest guest]

Dear group members,

 

I am so pleased to receive the above book from express mail ordered from

Amazon.com, sent from Virginia yesterday. It costs me US$40 inclusive and I

happen to buy another one (without 300 cases) in Hong Kong for US$32. I have

asked some practitioners in N America and they all told me they had the book. I

assume most serious listed members here have this book as well.

 

When I looked at the preface, the author said 'Many Chinese scholars of

medicine suggest that students read Shanghan Lun and Jin Gui Yao Lue in

succession....and he believed it is still valid to this day'.

 

I have 2 questions.

 

1) How my colleagues outside China think of this book?

2) How true is the author's suggestion?

 

Regards,

Sung, Yuk-ming
