Volume IX in the Ben cao gang mu series offers a
complete translation of chapters 47 through 52, devoted to fowls,
domestic and wild animals, and human substances. Â
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. Â
