There are many reasons why Fundamentals of Chinese Acupuncture remains one of the most-used acupuncture books in the profession. Perhaps first & foremost it is because the authors have applied a precise method of translation that allows clinical experience to be directly transmitted. As well, they have drawn on both modern & classical clinical sources. Thus the text provides consistent information that can be cross-referenced not only to the several companion works but to any translation that maintains a reliable relation to the Chinese language. The information presented

Includes:: all the channels, including the extraordinary channels, the main, internal, branch, divergent, connecting, sinew, & alternate pathways as they are currently understood in the People's Republic of China. The pathway-by-pathway descriptions are supported by sketches that follow the Chinese sources. Main pathologic signs, therapeutic capacities, symptoms, & T.C.M. pattern relationships are also detailed. Information provided for each point

Includes:: Chinese, Pinyin transliteration, English translation, Western alphanumeric designation, anatomical location guide, & classical location, classical & modern indications & functions. Useful reference tables summarize current Chinese clinical experience. Finally, it is a compact, reliable source of practical information at a very reasonable price.

English translations of traditional Chinese medical texts rarely have conformed to the standards required of a contribution to sinology. One exception has been the Fundamentals of Chinese Medicine, a groundbreaking translation of the Zhong Yi Ji Chu Xue, which demonstrated that not only was it possible to meet scholarly expectations for translations of Traditional Chinese Medicine (T.C.M), but also that the cooperation of Chinese-speaking clinicians could reveal the nuances of practice. Beyond beginners manuals, it gives English-speaking students of T.C.M. a chance to appreciate the qualitative details available to their Chinese-speaking colleagues. Fundamentals of Chinese Medicine offers a unique & rare opportunity to understand Chinese medicine, not as it is perceived by a Western writer, but as it is perceived & taught in China. This is because Chinese descriptions of T.C.M. that confound Western expectations have not been expunged from the textual translation. After more than two decades in print & numerous reprintings, the current edition incorporates experience from the use of the work as a didactic text & as a course book for teaching Chinese medical English to student physicians. Based on feedback from Western teachers & translators, this popularly priced edition features a straightforward English terminology, thousands of source Chinese characters, & hundreds of clinical definitions never before available in English. Contents include yin & yang & the five phases; qi, blood, essence, & fluids; the channels; the organs; diseases & their causes. Pattern identification & treatment of eight-parameter, organ, qi-blood, pathogen, & exogenous heat conditions are discussed in detail, as are principles & methods of treatment. Illustrative acumoxa therapy has been added for Western acupuncturists. ...
