The former model, the Queen, was banned for choosing wrong things, but she did not regret it because she chose love. She thought that she would live the rest of her life peacefully, but she did not expect that the day before she registered the marriage with her boyfriend, Meng Tianyu, she would find out that her fiancé had betrayed her and watch the Queen retaliate against him.
Volume I is divided into two parts. Part B of volume I in the Ben cao gang mu 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. 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 U. 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.
Through an immense feat of coordinated scholarship in the 1960s and 1970s, the Nánjīng University of Traditional Chinese Medicine collected and identified items used in indigenous Chinese healing practices, providing information about their origins, properties, applications, chemical composition, and classical records. This project led to the publication in 1977 of the Zhōng Yào Dà Cí Diǎn (中药大辞典, “The Encyclopedia of Chinese Medicinals”), which describes 5,767 animal, vegetable, and mineral items used in classical Chinese medicine and in Chinese folk medicine. Since China occupies a vast territory spanning numerous climatic zones, some of these items are familiar to fol...
Mr. Bousquet has used his 8 years of experience in teaching Management and English in China to produce a comprehensive handbook that bridges the gap between English and Chinese in terms of grammar and sentence structure. This tutor gives the reader basic notions of grammar, morphology, and syntax in terms that English speakers can relate to. These chapters are supported by a section on "word order" containing more than 250 examples with explanations on the usage of key particles, all fully annotated in pinyin. This book will be particularly useful to English teachers in helping them understand the Chinese "time frame" when teaching verbs and their tenses. "Great Book! I have used this guide to teach basic Chinese to adult foreigners. They love the easy-to-use common Chinese phrases when they are traveling in China. Thus, this is a must-buy for people traveling & doing business in Chinese-speaking countries like China, Singapore and more. 5 Star Rating!" -Dr.Alvin Chan, Education Consultant

U Dan-xi was the last of the four great masters of internal medicine during the Jin/Yuan dynasties. Although he's remembered today as the founder of the School of Enriching Yin, Zhu studied the theories and methods of the other three great schools before him and especially those of Li Dong-yuan. This book is a record of Zhu's differential diagnosis, eatment, and case histories of a wide variety of internal and external diseases-and is the source for many standard pattern discriminations and treatments found in modern internal medicine texts.
The flora of China is astonishing in its diversity. With 32,500 species of vascular plants, over fifty per cent of which are endemic, it has more botanical variety than anywhere else in the world and provides unbroken connections to all its landscapes - from tropical to subtropical, temperate and boreal forests. This book tells the story of the plants of China: from the evolution of the flora through time to the survey of the bioclimatic zones, soundly based on chapters with information on climate, physical geography and soils. The history of botany and its study are also examined, with chapters dedicated to forestry, medicinal plants and ornamentals, with the changing flora, aliens, extinction and conservation also discussed. An essential read for years to come, The Plants of China shows that an understanding of the flora of China is crucial to interpreting plant evolution and fossil history elsewhere in the world.
