Illustrated "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" (Color Illustrations and Hardcover)

The pictures are beautiful, and I learned about many herbs that I didn't know before or had seen before but didn't know the names of. The ancient text has a translation that is clear and easy to understand. Some herbs also come with a special story, which is quite interesting. But why are there so many repetitions of hundreds of herbal medicines? Are the illustrations wrong for identical pictures? I couldn't help but want to mark duplicate pictures, ginseng appeared twice on page 19 and page 112. Salvia 28 pages 59. Peony 29 pages 71 pages. The front of the car is 30 pages and 83 pages. Ginger 31 pages 98 pages. Calamus 33 pages 94 pages. Daphne 35 pages 91 pages. Not very friendly to obsessive-compulsive disorder.

It is compiled based on the edition compiled by Gu Guangguang in the Qing Dynasty. The refined vernacular translation and convenient and practical quick-search format are fully in line with modern people's reading habits. It is easy to understand and easy to understand. It selects more than 300 kinds of Chinese herbal medicines and briefly describes the properties of the medicines. It is also equipped with exquisite hand-drawn plant drawings and detailed explanations of the roots, stems, leaves, flowers, seeds and other parts of the plants, making the medicinal properties of each part of the plant clear at a glance. It is suitable for health enthusiasts to read and reference. People can easily get the gist of it by browsing at their leisure. After careful study, they can appreciate the profoundness of Chinese medicine.

In ancient China, horses, cows, sheep, chickens, dogs, and pigs were called the "six livestock". In fact, there are more than six kinds of domestic animals in history. According to ancient documents such as "Shang Shu Yu Gong", elephants were once one of the domestic animals; donkeys and camels have been domesticated in border minority areas since ancient times. The definition of "six livestock" is more scientific if it is divided by region. Therefore, camels are justifiably called one of the six domestic animals. Among the traditional Chinese medicines, camel hair has the best effect, and some people still use it as a folk remedy to treat hemorrhoids.

"Shen Nong's Materia Medica" itself is a classical Chinese book, and it is really difficult to read. This illustrated book is particularly good. The concise vernacular translation and convenient quick-check format are very practical and easy to understand. For someone like me who has a poor foundation in classical Chinese and has never seen anything about Chinese herbal medicine, the combination of pictures and text is great. The book selects more than 300 kinds of Chinese herbal medicines from the original work, briefly describes the properties of the medicines, and is accompanied by exquisite hand-drawn plant drawings. You can vividly learn a lot about Chinese herbal medicines. The book also intersperses some legends and short stories about traditional Chinese medicine. It is very good for spreading and learning Shennong's Materia Medica.

Frog fun, after reading it I felt like my head was itching and I really wanted to grow a brain! It's not my turn to tell you about the books left by our ancestors, okay?

I especially like the hand-drawn drawings inside, which clearly show the various parts of the plant, giving me a more intuitive understanding of the medicinal properties. Moreover, the book also mentions some health knowledge that we may use in our lives, which I feel is very practical. However, I kind of hate the complicated jargon, but thankfully there are detailed notes. Overall, this book is like a treasure. It has given me a better understanding of the profoundness of Chinese medicine and made me pay more attention to my health. I think everyone can learn something useful from this book.

We both belong to No. 1 Middle School and are worth recommending to everyone.

It is a very practical book. The author introduces more than 300 Chinese herbal medicines to us in an easy-to-understand manner through refined language. At the same time, it is coupled with exquisite pictures to deepen memory and understanding. Although I am not a professional medical expert, I can really learn a lot of knowledge through this book and get to know many common and useful medicinal materials. This book brings together the experience of many ancient medical scientists. The song about the properties of Chinese medicine at the beginning is also very interesting, which is conducive to learning and is not boring.
