Volume I is divided into two parts. Part B of volume I in
theĀ Ben cao gang muĀ series offers a translation of
portions of chapter 3 and the complete chapter 4, devoted to
pharmaceutical drugs for diseases. This volume is a continuation of
volume I, part A. The first portion of chapter 3 is found in part
A. TheĀ Ben cao gang muĀ is a sixteenth-century Chinese
encyclopedia of medical matter and natural history by Li Shizhen
(1518ā1593). 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 U. Unschuld's annotated translation of
theĀ 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. Ā
