Chinese cuisine is one of the most important components of the ancient culture of the Chinese nation. Food therapy and dietary nourishment are the gems of Chinese culinary culture, the best way to ensure people's beauty and health from the inside out. Chinese food therapy is based on the theoretical foundation of traditional Chinese medicine. Human constitutions are divided into warm, hot, cold, and cool, and foods also have these properties. The human body has five zang organs, and foods have five flavors, which can correspond to and interact with each other. As long as people understand their bodies, know the properties of foods, remain patient, and persevere, health and beauty will accompany them. The Tang Dynasty physician Sun Simiao advised, "A physician must first thoroughly understand the root cause of the illness, know what has been violated, and treat it with food. If food therapy does not work, then prescribe medicine." Three meals a day are essential, and with a little attention and slight adjustments each day, the goals of health preservation and beauty can be achieved. The ingredients and cooking methods for the soups in the book are very common and accessible. It can be said that as long as one is willing, anyone can do it. For safety, each dish includes recommendations for those who should avoid or be cautious about consuming it.
