Compared with the general, I personally think that Chinese medicine illustrations are better, reference books and illustrations are generally more popular, and there is a big difference in application; Illustrations of traditional Chinese medicine include not only the appearance of basic traditional Chinese medicine, but also the processing and description of decoction pieces, which is more valuable.
Finally, I suggest reading more ancient books. In medicine, it can be compared with NB in Compendium of Materia Medica, no!
