Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a great and valuable treasure built by the Chinese nation through long-term production and practice. Aiming to cure diseases and suffering, TCM focuses on the harmony between people and nature, forges its theoretical framework and forms unique diagnosis and treatment methodologies based on ancient philosophical concepts.

The “Chinese Culture” book series includes ten books on philosophical thoughts, literature, art, Chinese characters, festivals, foods and drinks, crafts, clothes, architecture and medicine. Each book introduces the history of a field or theme and the same origin of Chinese culture reflected by it, pursues its existence and manifestation in Chinese people’s life today, tells those “unknown stories” through smooth and relaxing words and exquisite pictures, reveals Chinese people’s thinking habits, behavioral modes, traditional concepts and social life, and helps readers understand “what Chinese people are like and what their thinking modes and living customs are.”
