Features: Life and health are the most precious treasures in life. Health and disease are issues of great concern to the entire society, as they affect every individual and family directly. Leaders of the Ministry of Health and the National Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine attach great importance to this topic of widespread concern. They have established a health work policy that prioritizes prevention over treatment, focusing on preventing illness rather than treating it once it occurs. In 2000, to actively implement the spirit of Comrade Jiang Zemin's directives advocating science and vigorously promoting the popularization of scientific knowledge, as well as the speech by Vice Premier Li Lanqing at the national television conference on health education for 900 million farmers, a medical knowledge popularization campaign titled "Healthy Homes—Medical Science Popularization for Ten Years" was meticulously organized and planned. To make this event vibrant and impactful, Minister Zhang Wenchang not only personally served as the director of the campaign's organizing committee but also personally organized and edited the educational materials for the campaign—the Health Education Series. The series consists of 78 volumes, introducing general knowledge about nearly 100 common diseases, disease signals, home healthcare, medication dos and don'ts, and other preventive and treatment knowledge, while providing patients with relevant information about their conditions. The aim is to improve the health and physical fitness of the entire nation and deliver health knowledge to every family. To ensure the scientific rigor, authority, practicality, and accessibility of this series, the organizing committee invited several academicians and engineering academicians from the medical field to personally review and serve as members of the review committee. Publishing this series is our publisher's responsibility. To ensure the long-term vitality of the series, we plan to revise it regularly so that every family can frequently obtain new knowledge on disease prevention and treatment, enabling everyone to enjoy good health.
