The book includes 500 folk traditional Chinese medicinal herbs and over 2,000 prescriptions. Each medicinal herb is accompanied by a vividly realistic color photograph. For small herbs, the entire plant is photographed, while for large herbs, woody plants, and lianas, only representative parts are captured, using flowers, fruits, and leaves to represent the whole. Therefore, when viewing the images, it is necessary to refer to the morphological descriptions. The cataloging order of the various traditional Chinese medicinal herbs in this book is from lower plants to higher plants. The order is as follows: fungi, ferns, gymnosperms, and angiosperms. Among them, angiosperms are basically arranged according to the Hutchinson system of plant classification by family and genus, and species within the same genus and subspecies are arranged in alphabetical order.
