Synopsis

"Suixiju Diet Spectrum" was written by Wang Shixiong, a physician in the Qing Dynasty. It was published in the 11th year of Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty (1861). It is a monograph specifically discussing the effects and medicinal uses of food. Based on decades of clinical experience and life experience, Wang classified 330 commonly used foods into water, cereal, blended, vegetable, fruity, hairy, and squamous foods, respectively elaborating on their nature and flavor, efficacy, picking time, storage methods, compatibility formulas, adverse reactions, and contraindications. This book not only fully embodies Wang's view of dietary therapy, but also plays a great role in promoting the development of traditional Chinese medicine and dietary therapy. This compilation is based on the Shanghai blockbuster of the second year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty (1863).

Reader comments

This book is really good! It introduces in detail the nature, taste, functions, etc. Of various foods, giving me a deeper understanding of dietary health. I especially like the part about the schools of traditional Chinese medicine in the book, which makes me feel the breadth and depth of traditional Chinese medicine culture. Moreover, this book is rich in content and very practical. It feels like a caring health consultant. I think everyone should read it and learn to take care of their body with the right diet.

Thank you to the medical teachers of our ancestors for their hard work in writing and the benevolence of doctors. They left sincere warnings for that time and future generations, so that we, the future generations, can enjoy the benefits, know the nature and taste of various foods, not be gluttonous, not blindly diet, medicine and food come from the same source, and eat in moderation. This book is like a life manual, telling you how people should eat and make choices based on their own circumstances. I hope more people will gain something and understand after reading this book, and I would like to express my gratitude again to our ancestors for their earnest teachings!

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!
