[Editor's Recommendation]
☆ Reviewed by numerous authoritative experts, painstakingly revised over 2 years
After its initial release, the "Complete Collection of Huangdi Neijing: Fully Translated and Illustrated Edition" was highly acclaimed and loved by many readers. However, due to its thickness, it was not easy to browse, and some content was difficult to understand, leading to its revision. We specially invited the renowned TCM expert Xiao Jianxi to serve as editor-in-chief for the revision, and numerous other TCM experts for review. While retaining the essence of the previous version, we continued to optimize the illustrations, deliberated repeatedly, and it took 2 years of hard work for it to be released.
