Preface
Our teacher, Mr. Pei, is well-versed in both Chinese and Western medicine, bridging ancient and modern knowledge, and is a renowned expert in integrated Chinese and Western medicine in China. After graduating from Xi’an Medical University in 1961, he has been engaged in clinical practice of integrated Chinese and Western medicine for over sixty years, dedicating himself wholeheartedly to this field. He has authored more than thirty medical monographs, a rare achievement among domestic medical experts. He has accumulated extensive clinical experience across various disciplines, including internal medicine, surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, and others. In the 1980s, he proposed the “Sixteen-Character Method” of “Western diagnosis, Chinese syndrome differentiation, Chinese medicine as the mainstay, Western medicine as the auxiliary,” which received strong support from then Minister of Health Chen Minzhang. Minister Chen suggested renaming the “Sixteen-Character Method” as the “Sixteen-Character Principle” and recommended that Pei Zhengxue lead the compilation of China’s first monumental work on clinical practice of integrated Chinese and Western medicine, “Practical Internal Medicine of Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine” (two million characters). Since its publication, this book has received unanimous praise from medical professionals at home and abroad and has become the preferred reading material for practitioners of integrated Chinese and Western medicine worldwide. In view of this, the Gansu Provincial Health Department, through the Gansu Provincial Society of Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine, has organized thirteen sessions of the “Pei Zhengxue Academic Symposium on Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine” and eight sessions of the “Pei Zhengxue Academic Training Course” since the late 20th century. Moreover, counties and districts throughout Gansu Province have spontaneously held numerous “Pei Zhengxue Academic Symposia on Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine.” However, there has long been a lack of a comprehensive textbook guiding the “Pei School’s academic thought,” leading many to inquire by phone or letter.
Four years ago, the renowned entrepreneur Mr. Song Jian and a group of Pei’s disciples established the “Pei Zhengxue Institute of Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine,” with the following objectives: ① to inherit, organize, and disseminate Pei’s academic thought; ② to host study classes on “Pei’s academic thought and clinical experience” to cultivate successors to Pei’s academic legacy. The disciples felt that completing a textbook on clinical experiences across various specialties under Mr. Pei’s direct supervision would better facilitate the inheritance and development of Pei’s academic cause in the future, and this has now become a consensus. We sought and obtained Mr. Pei’s approval for this idea. Under his personal guidance, he selected fifteen individuals from among his disciples—Xue Wenhan, Cao Jingyu, Wei Aiqing, Wan Qiang, Zhang Guiqiong, Huang Bangrong, Zhang Chouchou, and others—to serve as editors for this series, assigning specific tasks to each. After the initial drafts were completed, Mr. Pei further appointed me as the chief editor, with Peng Yanyan, Chen Guangyan, Qi Li, and Wang Xin serving as associate editors. Together, they reviewed and revised all ten volumes of the original manuscripts, ultimately completing the final editing process. The specific division of labor is as follows:
Huang Bangrong was responsible for designing the overall structure of this book and writing the chapters on tumors, totaling approximately 173,000 characters; Peng Yanyan wrote the chapters on hematological diseases, totaling about 136,000 characters; Chen Guangyan wrote the chapters on autoimmune diseases and Chapters 4 and 5 of hypertension, totaling approximately 148,000 characters; Wang Xin wrote Chapters 1 through 6 of the endocrine system, totaling about 140,000 characters; Qi Li wrote Chapters 7 through 14 of the endocrine system, totaling about 81,000 characters; Xue Wenhan wrote Chapters 1 and 2 of the digestive system, totaling about 31,000 characters; Wan Qiang wrote Chapters 6 through 8 of the respiratory system, totaling about 45,000 characters; Zhang Guiqiong wrote all the chapters on the urinary system, totaling about 182,000 characters; Cao Jingyu wrote Chapters 1 through 7 of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, totaling about 52,000 characters; Wei Aiqing wrote Chapters 1 through 3 of hypertension, totaling 67,000 characters; Zhang Chouchou wrote Chapters 1 through 9 of gynecological diseases, totaling about 184,000 characters; Feng Yongxiao wrote Chapters 10 through 14 of gynecological diseases and Chapters 1 through 5 of the respiratory system, totaling about 150,000 characters; Yang Binfeng wrote Chapters 3 through 11 of the digestive system and Chapters 8 through 14 of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, totaling about 151,000 characters.
I was honored to be designated by Mr. Pei as the chief editor, but I also feel a heavy sense of responsibility. My mentor has shown me such great favor, yet I fear my own limited knowledge and experience may not be up to the task of this glorious responsibility. Fortunately, Mr. Pei also appointed Peng Yanyan, Chen Guangyan, Qi Li, and Wang Xin as associate editors, all of whom were once his most outstanding graduate students. With their assistance, the editing work proceeded smoothly. Due to time constraints during publication, errors in the book are inevitable. I hope colleagues will offer criticism and suggestions for improvement.

Introduction to Professor Pei Zhengxue
Pei Zhengxue, male, native of Wushan County, Gansu Province, born in February 1938. From childhood, he studied traditional Chinese medicine under the tutelage of his father, Mr. Pei Shen (one of the ten most famous modern physicians in Gansu Province), thus inheriting the tradition of traditional medicine. In 1961, he graduated from the Medical Department of Xi’an Medical University. He is a renowned expert in integrated Chinese and Western medicine in China, holding titles such as professor, chief physician, doctoral supervisor, national-level master tutor, and one of the first distinguished TCM doctors in Gansu Province. Currently, he serves as a lifetime council member of the Chinese Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine, advisor to the World Journal of Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine, editorial board member of the Chinese Journal of Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine, honorary president of the Gansu Provincial Society of Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine, honorary president of the Tianshui Municipal Hospital of Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine in Gansu Province, chief expert of the Gansu Provincial Academy of Medical Sciences, chief expert of the Gansu Provincial TCM Hospital, and member of the Gansu Provincial Museum of Literature and History. He previously served as deputy director of the Gansu Provincial Academy of Medical Sciences, a council member of the Chinese Society of Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine for the second, third, and fourth terms, a member of the Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Committees of the Gansu Provincial Political Consultative Conference, and a national-level senior master tutor for the second, third, fourth, and fifth terms. Since 1991, he has been receiving a special allowance from the State Council. He has formally published 29 medical works, including “Commentary and Explanation of Blood Disorders,” “New Compilation of Chinese Herbal Formulas,” “Diagnosis and Treatment of Hepatitis B,” “Practical Internal Medicine of Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine,” “Collection of Medical Experiences by Pei Zhengxue,” “Collection of Medical Talks and Case Records by Pei Zhengxue,” and “Beginner’s Guide to Traditional Chinese Medicine,” as well as more than 100 medical papers. He has received the Achievement Award of the Chinese Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the First Prize for Outstanding National Publications, the Second Prize for Outstanding National Papers on the Development of Traditional Chinese Medicine, one Second-Class Provincial Science and Technology Progress Award, one Third-Class Provincial Science and Technology Progress Award, and one World Traditional Medicine Grand Prize. His work “Commentary and Explanation of Blood Disorders,” after being published in Japan, had a significant impact; in May 1985, Professor Tan Eichi, President of Shizuoka University in Japan, traveled specially to Lanzhou to consult with Professor Pei on issues related to the book. In 1974, at the Suzhou Hematology Conference, Professor Pei Zhengxue formulated a specialized treatment plan for leukemia named the “Lanzhou Formula,” which has been widely used in hospitals across the country for decades with remarkable efficacy. His edited work “Practical Internal Medicine of Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine” won the “International Gold Award for Outstanding Contribution” at the Third World Traditional Medicine Conference held in the United States in April 1996. He has also been invited to lecture in the United States, Japan, Germany, and France, promoting the medicine of his homeland. Professor Pei Zhengxue has been awarded the title of “Star of World Ethnic Medicine.” In 1997, the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine recognized him as one of the 500 most famous veteran TCM doctors nationwide, and subsequently he was invited by five domestic TCM universities, including the Hong Kong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, to serve as a visiting professor. The “Sixteen-Character Principle” of integrated Chinese and Western medicine proposed by Professor Pei Zhengxue has attracted attention from the entire field of integrated Chinese and Western medicine and has become an important school of thought in the current field. Professor Pei Zhengxue obtained the title of chief physician in 1987, was named a “National Advanced Worker in Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine” in 1994, received the title of “National Outstanding Contributor in Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine” in 2000, and was elected as a “Famous Veteran TCM Doctor of Gansu Province” in 2004. In 2008, he was elected as one of the “Ten Model Figures of Reform in Lanzhou City Over Thirty Years” and one of the “Ten Model Innovators of Lanzhou City.” In 2009, he was elected as a lifetime council member of the Chinese Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Professor Pei Zhengxue has been engaged in clinical practice and teaching research for over fifty years, achieving remarkable results and abundant accomplishments. Many doctoral and master’s students have studied under him both domestically and internationally. Professor Pei is particularly skilled in clinical practice, with unique expertise in liver diseases, cardiovascular diseases, gastrointestinal diseases, and connective tissue diseases, enjoying a high reputation in the Northwest region and throughout the country.

Professor Pei Zhengxue also enjoys literature, poetry, and calligraphy. His works, including “Collection of Novels and Essays by Pei Zhengxue,” “Collection of Poems and Prose by Pei Zhengxue,” “Collection of Calligraphy by Pei Zhengxue,” and “Beginner’s Guide to Traditional Chinese Medicine,” have already been published and distributed.
