The Heavenly Path of Medicine: From Sanxingdui to the Spring and Autumn

Zhang Sheng, a premier modern Chinese physician, is transported overnight into the turbulent Eastern Zhou dynasty by the bronze sacred tree of Sanxingdui. The four diagnostic methods—inspection, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation—become his path to cultivation, while his silver needles and herbal formulas serve as the instruments that reshape the five centuries of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. He heals individuals, states, and the entire realm—from the Duke of Zheng's campaign against his brother to the catastrophic battle of Changping, where he averts disaster. Time and again, he rescues the "fated to die" from the margins of recorded history. But he soon uncovers a shocking truth: the sacred tree is nothing less than the remnant root of Jianmu, the mythical pillar connecting heaven and earth, and he himself is the unnamed physician already inscribed in the historical annals. When the realm is finally unified, laying the foundation for three hundred years of prosperity, he follows the tree's path back to the modern world. A healer may cure a single patient—but can he cure an entire age?
