Song appreciation:
Jay Chou wrote this song because he has always been interested in Chinese style. In order to express a national spirit, he satirized those who adored foreign things and told them that China's ancestors were great.
He thinks that Chinese medicine actually represents China people, and it is the most representative except Kung Fu. These Chinese medicines are very rare for our ancestors and deserve our pride, so we should also attach importance to our Chinese culture.
This song combines American hip-hop and Chinese style, and makes the style lively and creative with humorous hip-hop elements. In addition, the title of the song is taken from the classic medical book Compendium of Materia Medica, and 16 ancient medicinal materials are used in the lyrics, which makes young people open their eyes and understand the wisdom of the Chinese nation.
