Features: The imperial physicians of China's feudal society, especially those after the Ming Dynasty, were a special class in the medical field. They adopted methods of vital energy cultivation, dietary therapy, and cautious medication to ensure the health of the nobility. At the same time, they avoided penalties such as dismissal, beating, exile, execution, or the annihilation of three generations due to ineffective prevention. Although many Chinese emperors died young despite the advice of imperial physicians, many nobles lived healthy lives, particularly many concubines who lived to a ripe old age, and even many eunuchs, maids, and guards died without illness. This has sparked great interest among many modern people. The Liu family is a descendant of Liu Wansu, a physician during the Jin Dynasty, and also a descendant of Liu Chun, the Ming Dynasty Yongle Emperor's imperial physician. It is one of the few historically long-standing traditional Chinese medicine families in China. Liu Chun's principles of health preservation and the theory of "treating three parts and nurturing seven parts" remain widely spoken among Chinese people worldwide today. It is also the theory of traditional Chinese medicine for preventing diseases and treating chronic conditions. The Liu family has been using the "treating three parts and nurturing seven parts" method since 1457 to treat various diseases and has gained fame both domestically and internationally for its treatment of cancer. It is the only family specializing in tumor medicine in China.
