Xinglin**

The three major features of "Xinglin Xiaotan" are: 1. The double-line narrative structure is exquisite. Taking Li Shi'an's medical practice during the day as the main line and telling stories to his wife at night as the sub-line, it not only shows the various scenes of the market and his profound medical knowledge, but also outlines the warmth and relaxation of the homely life of the couple's deep love. 2. Traditional Chinese medicine knowledge is naturally integrated. Whether it is the diagnosis skills of the "scholar who pretends to be sick" or the acupuncture prescriptions for "acute abdomen", the medical explanations are simple and easy to understand, and are both professional and interesting. It can be called a masterpiece of popularization of Chinese medicine culture. 3. Character creation is vivid and three-dimensional. Li Shi'an is kind-hearted but not pedantic, Xiuying is gentle, virtuous and wise, and the supporting roles of corrupt officials, wealthy businessmen, and scholars are not much mentioned but have their own characteristics, which together form a picture of urban life in the Ming Dynasty. What is particularly rare is that while maintaining the traditional charm of Zhanghui style, the work has popular and lively language and a strong comedy color. The first five chapters laid the foreshadowing of "concubinage", and expanded the pattern through events such as "Prefect gives a plaque" and "Zhao Yuanwai repays kindness", laying a solid foundation for the subsequent plot. Overall, it is a high-quality novel about world affairs that integrates traditional Chinese medicine culture, family ethics and various aspects of society.

It's well-founded and the story is humorous.
