Dietary Therapy and Wellness Secrets in the Dream of the Red Chamber

This book is a series of stories about therapeutic foods and wellness, set against the backdrop of Dream of the Red Chamber and divided into four seasonal sections: spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Recipes for the foods and remedies featured in the stories are included at the end.

All the recipes strictly follow the records in the Compendium of Materia Medica and the details of the original Dream of the Red Chamber. They preserve a classical flavor while being optimized with modern nutritional principles, so readers can choose remedies to suit their constitutions. It is recommended that ingredients be adjusted according to the changing seasons: use more warming, dispersing foods in spring, focus on clearing heat and relieving summer heat in summer, nourish the lungs and relieve coughs in autumn, and replenish the kidneys and essence in winter.
