Ancient Chinese medicine refers to a medical model before the Han and Tang dynasties. Its core value is the concept of correspondence between heaven and earth, that is, it is believed that human beings are closely related to the heaven, earth, and all things. Human beings and the heaven, earth, and the universe are the result of the manifestation of one breath. Therefore, humans must comply with the laws of the movement of heaven and earth. This thought has deeply influenced the ancient Chinese medicine's views on disease understanding and health care diagnosis and treatment. The four classic works of traditional Chinese medicine, "Huangdi Neijing", "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases", "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" and "Difficult Classic", are the soul of ancient Chinese medicine. The Huangdi Neijing provides the most reliable theoretical basis for ancient Chinese medicine. The rigorous and exquisite six-meridian formula and the time-honored prescriptions handed down from ancient times in "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases" written by the medical sage Zhang Zhongjing are the clinical magic weapons of ancient Chinese medicine. "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" shows the medicinal methods of ancient Chinese medicine. After the Han and Tang Dynasties, the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, and the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Confucianism penetrated into the medical field, and ancient Chinese medicine fell into a low ebb. Until the emergence of Peng Ziyi at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, he deciphered the eternal mysteries of the Nei Jing, Difficult Classic, Shenyi Materia Medica, Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases, and the theory of febrile diseases based on the principles of the ascending and descending circular movements of Qi in the River Diagram of the Book of Changes. He critically inherited and developed ancient Chinese medicine, found the fault line of ancient Chinese medicine, and reborn ancient Chinese medicine.

Reader comments
Everything is born in heaven and earth and grows up in heaven and earth. When you try to echo with heaven and earth, then the energy existing in heaven and earth will wash your body, and then consciously let the energy echo the body. No wonder many terminal cancer patients can heal without medicine by traveling, exercising, and seeing everything, mountains and rivers. Medicine contains essence, and essence is everywhere in nature.
I have never read this book carefully and found it difficult. Today I suddenly remembered it and read it slowly, and suddenly it became less difficult. Thank you so much to Teacher Yu Hao for writing such an in-depth and simple Chinese medicine book, which allows us to enter the door of traditional Chinese medicine!
This book is very good! It explains the theories of ancient Chinese medicine in easy-to-understand language, making it easy for a layman like me to understand. I especially like the parts about the theory of essence and yin-yang and the five elements in the book, which I find very interesting. Moreover, the book also mentioned classic works such as "The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic" and "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases", which gave me a deeper understanding of the history and development of traditional Chinese medicine.
A new understanding of disease.
