During the editing process of this book, special emphasis was placed on the applicable groups, usage and taboos of each dish. Readers are advised to make reasonable choices and correctly prepare meals according to their own physical conditions. In ancient times, people had no concept of distinguishing between food and medicine. Due to the cruelty of nature, our ancestors ate all edible animals and plants for survival. Over time, they gradually identified which animals and plants can replenish energy. Although some other animals and plants can also satisfy hunger, they are highly biased and are not suitable for regular consumption or cannot be eaten by everyone. Some foods cannot be eaten unless they are under special conditions (such as illness). So, there is a distinction between food.

The writing style is also very concise and easy to understand. It reminds me of "Compendium of Materia Medica", which is also in a similar style and introduces a lot of knowledge about medicinal materials and food. It feels like a caring health consultant telling us how to stay healthy through diet. However, dietary adjustments should still vary from person to person and should not be followed blindly.
