Features: Traditional Chinese Medicine formulas are the crystallization of clinical experience accumulated by generations of medical practitioners. They serve as the primary means of guiding clinical prevention, treatment, and disease management based on the theory of syndrome differentiation and treatment in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Over the centuries since the Tang and Song dynasties, the creation of new formulas has continuously increased, with an overwhelming amount of literature on formulas, and the theory of formula composition has gradually become more refined. This has made significant contributions to the health of the descendants of Yan and Huang and the prosperity of the Chinese nation.
