Features: Calling "Yi Shi Tong Yuan" a dietary therapy monograph is less fitting than calling it a compendium of culinary curiosities. Drawing from the everyday foods of ordinary households, the author uses his professional expertise and passion for Chinese medicine and culinary culture to explain profound knowledge through simple and vivid metaphors, making it both entertaining and practical. Additionally, each article is accompanied by illustrations by the artist A Chong, whose magical brushwork not only adds a touch of whimsy to each piece but also makes this a dietary therapy compendium that is both practical and aesthetically pleasing.
