DESCRIPTION:
Paperback reissue Amazon Customer This is the paperback reissue of a hard cover 'glossary' dictionary. A great complimentary work to assist with sifting through the large number of Chinese medical terms covered in 'A Practical Dictionary of Chinese Medicine' by the same author. I say "glossary" because this work doesn't really provide in depth definitions of Chinese medical terms. 'A Practical Dictionary of Chinese Medicine' provides much more detailed definitions, translations, and even examples of Chinese medical concep. John b said Great resource. This is a very thorough chinese medicine terminology dictionary. It is complete with English, pinyin, and traditional characters. To move beyond the current level of practice we must have a thorough understanding of Chinese language. This dictionary is a great way to begin this process by becoming familiar with common terms in Chinese medicine.
This new edition contains over 10,000 general terms as well as the names of 1,700 drugs, over 2,000 formulas, and 1,500 point names. This Dictionary contains an introduction to the translation of Chinese Medical Terminology and to Commonly Used Characters of Chinese Medicine. The Chinese is accessible by pinyin which is merged with English in a single alphabetical listing. Part One of the dictionary is English-Chinese, Part Two Chinese-English, and the Index is comprised of both a Pinyin and a Stroke Order Index.. The book thus provides Chinese and Western translators and students with a comprehensive and easy to use Chinese-English English-Chinese reference. A revised and expanded editi
