Chinese medicine through stories and names

Qu Lifang’s collection draws on China’s textual archive to introduce traditional Chinese medicine through anecdotes, biographical sketches, and explanations of terminology. Its sections range from accounts of sages and famous medical figures to stories about materia medica, formulas, clinical cases, and acupuncture. The bilingual format pairs each story’s Chinese characters with pinyin marked for tones, followed by an English version and a glossary. This makes the book both a collection of historical and medical narratives and a language-oriented resource, with vocabulary and pronunciation support built into its presentation.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in traditional Chinese medicine and its textual history
  • Western students studying Chinese pronunciation and vocabulary
  • Chinese students seeking English-language glosses for medical anecdotes
