Features: This manual is designed with practicality in mind, featuring 174 commonly used traditional Chinese medicines and locally practiced herbs in North China (including supplementary herbs). The book is arranged in a picture-reference format, with each herb's description including: name, alternative names, source, plant (animal) morphology, habitat distribution, harvesting and processing, medicinal properties, taste and function, clinical applications, and modern research. Color photographs include images of the original plant (animal), the medicinal material, or the prepared herbal piece. The two main features of this book are: ① Reference Value. The selection of species is based on two authoritative books, the Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China (2000 Edition, Volume I) and Local Practiced Medicinal Materials. The "Modern Research" section introduces the identification of medicinal materials, major pharmacologically active components, pharmacological effects, and the latest achievements in clinical applications, making it highly valuable for reference. ② Practicality. The chief editor and authors are all teaching and research personnel in the field of traditional Chinese medicine and herbs. The illustrations emphasize a perfect combination of botanical accuracy and photographic artistry, with each plant and medicinal material presented synchronously in every edition. The book is highly practical.
