Reader comments

Moreover, Li Shizhen's discussion in the book is very organized and he also puts forward his own opinions, which is very beneficial to people. This reminds me of the "Huangdi Neijing". They are both classics of traditional Chinese medicine, and both have in-depth research on the meridians and the movement of qi and blood in the human body. I think this book is a good book worth reading for those who are interested in Chinese medicine.
