Volume II teaches readers how to move beyond translation and engage the classics directly.Classical Chinese Medical Texts: Learning to Read the Classics of Chinese Medicine (Volume II) guides readers deeper into the intellectual and philosophical foundations of classical Chinese medicine through structured readings of original source texts.Moving beyond basic decoding, this volume teaches readers how classical medical authors organized ideas, defined illness, differentiated symptoms, and understood concepts such as spirit, evil, madness, deficiency, excess, and the role of the superior physician.Rather than relying on modern reinterpretations, this book trains students to stay close to the language of the source texts and understand them on their own terms.Readers will learn to: - Read increasingly difficult classical Chinese medical passages- Understand grammar and sentence structure in context- Interpret terminology historically rather than through modern assumptions- Distinguish literal meaning from later commentary- Follow the internal logic of classical diagnosis and theoryDrawing heavily from the Huang Di Nei Jing Ling Shu and selections from the Nan Jing, Jin Gui Yao Lue, and later medical writings, Volume II contains fifteen readings organized into five thematic units: - The Movement of Qi- The Superior Physician- Evil and Pathogenic Influence- Madness and Withdrawal- The Spirits (Shen)Each chapter includes original Chinese source text, pinyin, vocabulary breakdowns, literal translation, grammatical notes, and character analysis.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Cosmological ideas influenced every aspect of traditional Chinese culture, from science and medicine to art, philosophy, and religion. Although other premodern societies developed similar conceptions, in no other major civilization were such ideas so pervasive or powerful. In The Development and Decline of Chinese Cosmology, John Henderson traces the evolution of Chinese thought on cosmic order from the classical era to the nineteenth century. Unlike many standard studies of premodern cosmologies, this book analyzes the origins, development, and rejection of these models, not just their structure. Moreover, while historians often limit their studies of cosmic order to specialized fields like the history of science, Henderson examines how the cosmological ideas formulated in late classical times permeated various facets of Chinese life, from high philosophy to popular culture. In discussing these ideas, the author draws surprising parallels between the history of Chinese and classical Western cosmologies, identifying general patterns in the development of cosmological conceptions in several premodern civilizations. This volume thus appeals not only to students of Chinese intellectual history, but anyone interested in cultural anthropology, ancient and medieval philosophy, and the history of science and medicine as well. An understanding of the development and decline of Chinese cosmology illuminates broad areas of traditional Chinese culture and it provides a new perspective for viewing the history of Chinese thought in a larger comparative context. John B. Henderson earned his Ph.D. at the University of California, Berkeley. He is Professor in the Department of History at Louisiana State University. Professor Henderson's previously published works include Scripture, Canon, and Commentary: A Comparison of Confucian and Western Exegesis and Notions of Time in Chinese Historical Thinking.…
