Features: When humans did not yet have sufficient means to observe and understand themselves, our ancestors had already, through the methods of "observing the external to infer the internal" and "taking analogies from the external to understand the internal" (i.e., using external manifestations of the body to "introspect" the functional changes of internal organs), "from the surface to the interior" and "from this to that," glimpsed the mysteries of life from a holistic perspective. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has a long history and profound heritage. Its value lies on one hand in requiring people to rediscover and understand it, gaining more cultural refinement and enlightenment; on the other hand, it has strong practical significance, guiding people's lives and health care. For this reason, people eagerly wish to learn its basic concepts and methods to nourish their bodies and minds. Like the author's other works published simultaneously in multiple countries and regions, such as the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon Wellness Illustrated" and the "I Ching Illustrated," this book is lively in form and profound yet accessible in content, and has been praised by experts as a highly beneficial book. It is therefore specially recommended to readers to promote and carry forward this treasure of Chinese culture.
