The most important classical text of Chinese Medicine, The Yellow
Emperor's Classic of Chinese Medicine is often seen as daunting by
students who are faced with a variety of different translations, of
which some may not be reliable. This introductory guide makes it
accessible to all, providing a summary of each chapter which
emphasises the clinical relevance of the text. The author draws out
how the text can be used to inform and improve clinical practice.
It avoids overly scholarly discussions, and does not dwell on the
minutiae of translation, making this book an easy and enlightening
read.
This book uncovers the history of imperial ordinations through a
detailed examination of the Ordination Scroll of Empress Zhang
(1493), an important Ming Dynasty Daoist artifact-its
transcriptions and meticulously-painted images of celestial beings,
as well as the influences of the Daoist leaders known as the
Zhengyi Heavenly Masters.
