The main body of this little work deals with the historical development of medicine in China, whose influence on Korea, Japan, and Southeast Asia was profound and even reached far west into the Islamic world. The authors undertook this work when they became aware that the medical students in their tutelage were unacquainted with the rich history of Chinese medicine and had only a perfunctory notion of its underlying concepts. It honors the remarkable achievements of those skillful doctors from ancient times who developed medical paradigms and treatments that have brought cure and respite for the ill and inspiration to their successors. Beginning students of Chinese medicine, and general readers interested in Chinese culture and medicine, will find this book of great interest as well as utility. |
