The Way of Medicine Tarnished, Yet a Young Doctor's Resolve Remains

This is a very long ongoing novel about traditional Chinese medicine, already exceeding 16 million Chinese characters.

The story incorporates scenic spots in the Taihang Mountains. Many little-known tales whose historical origins are rarely explored can be found here!

The novel artistically weaves in a wealth of theories about traditional Chinese medicine and medicinal herbs, including the unity of heaven and humanity, holistic dialectical thinking, yin-yang philosophy, the generating and overcoming cycles of the Five Elements, the Five Phases and Six Qi, the Four Symbols and Eight Trigrams, and the Yijing’s principle that all things embody the Dao. It also covers the four qi and five flavors of medicinal herbs, the seven relationships between medicines, their interactions of support and restraint, their associations with the organs and meridians, their functions and indications, preparation methods, and their use by renowned practitioners...

Readers with different interests will find different elements of traditional Chinese medicine and medicinal culture in different chapters.

But this is, after all, a novel, and novels contain many artistic embellishments. Readers are therefore warned not to use any theories or prescriptions appearing in this work. It should be read as literature only.

The medical cases and prescriptions appearing in this novel must not be used!
