Reader comments
This book is very practical! I especially like the systematic introduction of the basic knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine in the general part, which gave me a more comprehensive understanding of traditional Chinese medicine. The monographs are also very detailed, with a clear introduction to each drug. Moreover, the list of medicinal properties and Chinese medicine index in the appendix are also very convenient for searching. I don't have a particular favorite character in the book, but I think it is like a thoughtful little encyclopedia of Chinese medicine, which is very helpful for learning Chinese medicine.
