Reader comments

The writing is very good, but there is no need to worry about whether there is fried blood in it, whether it is written serially or not. People nowadays do things very well. It would be better if they could repeat each one so that each one could be read again.

This book is very interesting! It mentions the concept of yin and yang, saying that everything has a yin and yang side, just like the weather has cold and hot, our bodies will also be affected by these. The book also talks about a lot of knowledge related to traditional Chinese medicine, which gave me a better understanding of the mysteries of traditional Chinese medicine. Moreover, I feel that although the language in the book is a bit difficult to understand, it is very inspiring and made me think about a lot of issues about health and life. I recommend you also read this book, maybe you will gain something new!

After Reading This, I Can Become Half a Chinese Medicine Practitioner.

I would like to read a book similar to "Energy Theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine". It's not a novel, it's just a systematic analysis of Chinese medicine from ancient times to the present. Those with a certain medical foundation will definitely gain a lot!

If You Want a Book About True Taoism and a Taoist Priest, the Author Should Really Be Familiar with the Classics and Common Sense of Each School.

Want to watch something similar to "Chuanwu: Return to the Village and Show Off?" I'll add some books on "Learning Martial Arts to Become a Saint". It is best for the author to be familiar with some Taoist classics and common sense before writing this book. If the author is not familiar with it, I will not tolerate it. The protagonist should not be too young and have a good temperament;
