1. Revelation: Interest is the best teacher. First of all, you should be interested in reading some interesting Chinese medicine stories. One is to increase interest, and the other is to get in touch with some basic knowledge of Chinese medicine. Recommended works include Luo Dalun's Ancient Chinese Medicine and Ren Zhitang's The Growth of a Chinese Medicine. After these works, you can generally establish some basic traditional thinking concepts, master some small remedies, have a good understanding of pulse diagnosis, and help your family solve some small problems.

2. Introduction: After you have interest, you should start to lay the foundation. Should be based on modern vernacular works, plus previous interests and some foundation, should be able to stick to it. Recommend the basic theory of TCM, Chinese pharmacy, TCM thinking, Hao Wanshan's lecture notes on febrile diseases, Hu Xishu's lecture notes on febrile diseases, synopsis of golden chamber, etc. This stage is mainly to lay the foundation, systematically study the basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the medicinal properties of commonly used traditional Chinese medicine and so on.

3. Improve: At this stage, we should gradually deepen our understanding. From this stage, it began to sublimate, and this stage is still dominated by ancient prose. What needs to be seen is: ancient Chinese medicine with circular motion. After studying, I will study Huang Yuanyu's works, such as The Source of Four Sages' Hearts, The Disparity of Four Sages, Su Wen's Suspended Interpretation, Difficult Classics, Treatise on Exogenous Febrile Diseases and so on. With the guidance of senior Huang, I can get twice the result with half the effort. It is not impossible to understand these classics by yourself, but this is the same strain of ancient Chinese medicine. So the height of the theory lies in how much it can be thoroughly understood at this stage. This stage is also the most important stage of learning Chinese medicine.
