This is a 'true' traditional Chinese medicine novel with the background of the struggle for the throne in the late Jiajing period.
The story uses the time traveler's insights to learn about the past and present: through what the heroine sees, hears, and feels when she studies and practices medicine, she comments on medical cases and explains medical principles from a modern perspective, expressing the author's worship of ancient Chinese medicine. Through the interaction between the heroine and Li Shizhen, she lists the practical value of each of classic prescriptions, current prescriptions, and single prescriptions, and briefly discusses the author's meager misconceptions about materia medica.
Over the years, the author has been ashamed that the country of Bangzi could actually have "Dae Jang Geum", so he has worked hard and is as inspirational as ice to write rigorous but not serious Chinese medicine novels. At the same time, he also silently laments the fate of the torrent of Chinese history, and sheds tears to express the pain and lamentation of every Chinese son and daughter for the peak of the Ming Dynasty.
During the Jiajing Dynasty, the culture was unprecedentedly prosperous and there were countless celebrities; the court was turbulent and official corruption was common; treacherous and sycophantic people were in power in all walks of life, and the world was declining and people's hearts were not as good as before. The author takes a closer look at the situation from the perspective of ordinary people, witnessing the various pathologies that were revealed in the Ming Dynasty around 1560, from the countryside to the ancestral hall, from the market to the powerful, from the local area to the capital, from the people to the palace. After witnessing the bloody court battles, he finally came to a realization: How can there be good and evil, good generals and virtuous ministers in the Ming Dynasty temples? There was nothing else to do in the Six Dynasties except for the family's own agenda.
This book strives to keep close to history, but it is also full of joy and playfulness. It not only contains a sincere love that is "far better than industrial saccharine", but also presents the great sorrow and joy of the unpredictable world. It also contains many old jokes from movies, TV shows and songs, paying tribute to the first half of the lives of the post-80s generation.
The level is limited and there are many shortcomings. Please criticize and correct me.
