Product Description
Review
"The most important theoretical text in the huge corpus of traditional Chinese medical literature."-Science "The translations are fluent, and Dr. Veith's introductory portion illuminating; the numerous well-reproduced illustrations provide a vivid appeal not attainable by words alone."-Journal of the American Medical Association
Product Description
In the late-20th century, traditional medical practice has seen a dynamic reviavial in China and throughout many countries in the Western world. Elements of this time-honoured therapy, including acupuncture and the harmony of human spirit with the natural world, have become part of mainstream medical practice; "The Yellow Emperor's Classic" provides the historical and philosophical foundation of this practice. Ilza Veith provides an extensive introduction to her monumental translation of this work, which is written in the form of a dialogue in which the emperor seeks information from his minister Ch'I-Po on all questions of health and the art of healing. A foreword by Ken Rose places the translation in its historic contexts, underlining its significance to the Western world's understanding of Chinese medicine.
