Synopsis

The three-volume "Lei Gong Pao Zhi Lun" was written by Lei Jie of Liu Song Dynasty in the fifth century AD. Classic works of ancient Chinese medicine. This book is the earliest monograph on the processing of traditional Chinese medicine in my country. It originally contains 300 kinds of medicines. Each medicine is first described in terms of its properties and key points of difference from easily mixed varieties, so as to distinguish its authenticity and quality. It is an important document in the identification of traditional Chinese medicines.

Reader comments

This book "Thunder God, Cannon and Fire Theory" is very practical! It is the earliest monograph on the processing of traditional Chinese medicine and provides a detailed introduction to the identification and processing of traditional Chinese medicine. It reminds me of Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica", both of which are classics in the field of traditional Chinese medicine. The book also mentions that "yellow and black colors are thick and stubborn; red colors are not useful if they are handled by women." This sentence is simple and vivid, and people can remember the key points of mica selection at once. All in all, this is a good book worth recommending!
