Features: The Ming Dynasty medical scholar Li Shizhen dedicated over 30 years of his life to writing Compendium of Materia Medica, a work of over 1.9 million characters, documenting 1,892 medicinal substances. It is a summary of the pharmacology of our country over thousands of years. Now, we are honored to invite Professor Gao Xuemei, a doctoral supervisor in the Clinical Chinese Materia Medica program at Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the academic leader of the key discipline Clinical Chinese Materia Medica under the National Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, to serve as the chief editor of this book. The entire book meticulously selects 500 commonly used traditional Chinese medicines in clinical practice, accompanied by hand-drawn images of the original plants and corresponding colored pictures of the medicinal materials. Special attention is given to English introductions, making it a visually rich and bilingual resource that comprehensively reflects the basic characteristics of single-herb medicines. It holds significant value for collection and reference.
