SynopsisThe Yellow Emperor's Classic has become a landmark in the history of Chinese civilization. In recent years, traditional medical practice has seen a dynamic revival in China and throughout many countries in the Western world. Elements of this time-honored therapy, including acupuncture and the harmony of human spirit with the natural world, have become part of mainstream medical practice; The Yellow Emperor's Classic provides the historical and philosophical foundation of this practice. Ilza Veith provides an extensive introduction to her monumental translation of this classic work, which is written in the form of a dialogue in which the emperor seeks information from his minister Ch'I-Po on all questions of health and the art of healing. A new foreword by Ken Rose places the translation in its historic contexts, underlining its significance to the Western world's understanding of Chinese medicine.

I find the information within this book both historical and compelling. As a reader of a philosophical, theological and science background, the content is assisting with 'filling in of Western cultural Teachings" The Western training leaves many questions. This book presents an understanding long before the "Synchronization of Anatomy and Physiology with the terminology of Catholicism and Christianity founded on Roman rules of dissection as medical understanding. This information is 4000 years old.. 2000 yrs before Roman rule of religion. This is Socrates, Aristotle content. I believe God is not at war with scientists but with literalists. Be well and enjoy
