Reader comments

Zhu Danxi, one of the Four Great Masters of the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, was the founder of the Yangyin School. His theory was that Yang was always in excess and Yin was often insufficient.

It is also said that "medicine and fortune-telling are both the work of saints." It turns out that doctors and fortune-tellers were equally important in ancient times! I especially like a sentence in the book: "However, medicine and divination are all things that saints do, and only those who are Confucian can understand them." I feel that this sentence makes sense. However, I don't really like those doctors who only know how to read "Prescriptions". Doctors like Zhu who draw on the strengths of others are more admirable!

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!
