Abstract

Starting from 2003, the discovery of a large amount of the so-called exotic hadronic states, i.e., the XYZXYZ states, the pentaquark states as well as the tetraquark states, have not only revived studies of hadron spectroscopy, but also hinted at the existence of new multi-hadron states made of hadrons other than nucleons and hyperons. We briefly comment on some of the latest studies on multi-hadron molecules in the light and heavy flavor sectors and highlight what should be done in the future.
