Both medicines and food have the characteristics of the four qi, hot, cold, warm and cool, and the five flavors of sour, bitter, sweet, pungent and salty. When studying the cooking methods, we must realize that the "four qi" are the basis for the syndrome differentiation of medicines and foods. The "five flavors" also have targeted functions on the internal organs of the human body. On the premise of giving full play to the function of medicinal food, the delicious taste must also be taken into consideration.
