What list should I read for self-study Chinese medicine?

Before there are any teaching materials, it is certainly a way for practitioners to start learning, or read some simple and easy-to-understand books, such as "Fu of Medicinal Properties" and "Song of Tangtou", or read from classic medical books such as "Neijing" and "Difficult Classic".

With a certain understanding and foundation, we can read Four Kinds of Medicine Fu compiled by Lei Gong, and then watch Medicine Song with 400 Flavors.

Then read the Three-Character Classic of Medicine to see the pulse tactics of diagnostics and the psychological tactics of four diagnoses. Finally, I began to read Treatise on Febrile Diseases in internal medicine. Read with concentration. Grasping the key points, reading repeatedly or even reciting, and then reading widely are the things that should be paid attention to when learning Chinese medicine.

Learning Chinese medicine requires not only reading, but also reciting, which is the common experience of ancient and modern doctors. Without memorizing a little book, there is no time at all. Reciting these classics is an essential basic skill for a Chinese medicine scholar and lays the necessary foundation for Chinese medicine knowledge.

Classics are the source. Chinese medicine is a profound knowledge, and learning Chinese medicine is a long way. Only by sinking down and persisting can we go far on this road.
