This article presents translated excerpts from Shènjí Chúyán (Humble Advice on Caution in Treating Illness, 1767 CE), the final medical work of the famous Qing dynasty physician Xu Dachun, who was a vocal advocate of classical texts such as the Nèijīng (Inner Classic) and the works of Zhang Zhongjing. The excerpts are curated with Chinese medicine practitioners in mind, and encompass Xu’s forthright opinions on tonic herbs, diagnosis, geriatric and paediatric medicine, preparing herbal medicine, advice on choosing a physician, esoteric remedies and classic texts.
