The Practical Dictionary of Chinese Medicine remains the most comprehensive and authoritative reference of its kind available today. From the simple and familiar to the complex and rare, it captures the subtle distinctions, technical meanings, and conceptual precision that define the language of Chinese medicine. Whether used in clinical study, professional practice, or advanced translation work, this dictionary presents Chinese medical terminology with a level of depth and fidelity rarely found in introductory texts.
Containing more than 10,000 carefully defined medical concepts, the dictionary spans the full working vocabulary of Chinese medicine. Each entry presents the English term alongside the source Chinese term, Pinyin transliteration, pronunciation guidance, etymological insight, and one or more precise definitions drawn from authoritative Chinese medical sources.
Arranged in a classical dictionary format, entries are designed for both quick consultation and sustained study. Terms within definitions are fully cross-referenced, allowing readers to follow related concepts throughout the work. Disease and symptom descriptions include the standard therapies practiced in the People’s Republic of China, while formulas, medicinals, and acupoints are documented with the precision required by practitioners, translators, and serious students of the field.
This portable edition offers an accessible way to own one of the most respected reference works in Chinese medicine. At $149.95—reduced from the former $179.95 list price—it represents exceptional value for a reference of this scope, quality, and scholarly importance.
Features include:
- More than 10,000 entries covering diseases, symptoms, formulas, medicinals, and acupoints.
- Chinese terminology with Pinyin transliteration, pronunciation guidance, etymology, and precise definitions.
- Full English common and commercial names for medicinals alongside standard Latin scientific names.
- Western medical correspondences and WHO nomenclature where available.
- A comprehensive, fully cross-referenced index, including lesser-used terminology valuable to translators.
