Features: Chinese medical science is a summary of the experience of the Chinese nation's long struggle against diseases. The establishment, development, and perfection of its theoretical system have always been influenced by traditional Chinese culture (such as the theory of Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, the theory of Qi and the seasons, as well as the philosophies of Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism). Therefore, it is said to have a common origin with the I Ching (Book of Changes) and is referred to as "Confucian medicine." China is vast, with different cultural atmospheres and varying reverence for academic thought in different regions, which has influenced medicine, leading to the emergence of medical groups with regional characteristics, and even the formation of important medical schools (such as the Yi Shui School, the Hejian School, Lingnan Medicine, and the Menghe Medical School). As an important part of Huizhou culture, the volume "The Complete Collection of Huizhou Culture · Xin'an Medicine" will objectively summarize, analyze, and evaluate the role and status of Xin'an medicine in the inheritance and development of Chinese medical science from a natural science perspective; and explore and analyze the humanistic factors contributing to the rise of Xin'an medicine from a social science perspective. The volume "Xin'an Medicine" aims to provide a comprehensive summary of the achievements in the excavation, organization, and research of Xin'an medicine over the past 20 years.
