Classical Chinese Medical Texts: Learning to Read the Classics of Chinese Medicine (Vol. III)

This series of books represents the first introduction to classical Chinese that focuses solely on medical texts. The selections that make up the chapters span a period of nearly 2,000 years, covering the entire written history of Chinese medicine. The extensive vocabulary lists, detailed grammar notes, example sentences, and clear explanations make this series suitable for self-taught learners and classrooms alike. Each chapter contains the text in its original as well as modern written forms, a vocabulary section, pinyin, translation of the texts, and a detailed notes section which explains grammar and difficult sentences. For reference, there is also a simplified version of all of the texts, a complete index and glossary, and detailed suggestions for how to successfully use the books.

Volume III contains fifteen selections, twelve of those focusing on herbal theory. The texts presented include single herb monographs from the Shen Nong Ben Cao, flavor theory from the Tang Ye Ben Cao and Nei Jing Ling Shu, and theories of creating and modifying prescriptions for specific illnesses and patterns. The remaining three selections focus on acupuncture and channel theory from the Ling Shu, Zhen Jiu Da Cheng, and Nan Jing.
