Volume II in the Ben cao gang mu series offers a
complete translation of chapters 5 through 11, devoted
to waters, fires, soils, metals, jades, stones, minerals, and
salts. The Ben cao gang mu is a sixteenth-century
Chinese encyclopedia of medical matter and natural history by Li
Shizhen (1518–1593). The culmination of a sixteen-hundred-year
history of Chinese medical and pharmaceutical literature, it is
considered the most important and comprehensive book ever written
in the history of Chinese medicine and remains an invaluable
resource for researchers and practitioners. This nine-volume series
reveals an almost two-millennia-long panorama of wide-ranging
observations and sophisticated interpretations, ingenious
manipulations, and practical applications of natural substances for
the benefit of human health. Paul Unschuld's annotated translation
of the Ben cao gang mu, presented here with the original
Chinese text, opens a rare window into viewing the people and
culture of China's past.
