Editor-in-Chief: Professor Zhao Zhongzhen, Professor Emeritus of the School of Chinese Medicine, and Professor Chen Hubiao, Associate Director and Professor of the Teaching and Research Division of the School of Chinese Medicine

This book was first published in 2010 in both traditional and simplified Chinese. Since its inaugural edition, the book has been translated into multiple languages, including English, Japanese, Korean, German, Russian, Vietnamese and Portuguese, through collaborative efforts with local scholars and publishers. This March, the Arabic edition was launched in the Arab region. This edition is distinguished by a foreword from Mr Zhang Yiming, Ambassador of the People’s Republic of China to the United Arab Emirates, who eloquently stated that “Chinese medicine books serve as a catalyst for the development of traditional Chinese medicine”, highlighting its authority and role as a cultural bridge. With the increasing popularity of its multilingual editions, this book not only facilitates the global dissemination of traditional Chinese medicine knowledge but also fosters cross-cultural medical exchange, introducing the wisdom of traditional herbal medicine to a broader audience and further solidifying its status as a classic in traditional Chinese medicine literature.
