This book is part of the <jats:italic>Chinese Civilisation</jats:italic> series which seeks to inform, inspire and ignite curiosity about one of the world's oldest civilisations. </jats:p> <jats:p>“Since the day of its birth, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been integrated into the blood of the excellent Chinese culture, and has become an inseparable part of it. It has been continuously enriched and perfected along with the development of Chinese civilisation. In the process of its development and evolution, it always blends with the profound Chinese culture, and eventually becomes the treasure of China … [described as being] full of deep philosophical wisdom, representing thousands of years of the Chinese tradition of healthy lifestyle.” - From the Preface</jats:p>
