The Yellow Emperor's Toad Classic

Meer over het boek

The Hama jing is a rare classic, that has almost slipped into obscurity. It opens a window to a lesser known prohibition wisdom of ancient times and presents various detailed prohibitions based on natural phenomena. These include the passage of time expressed by the lunar cycle (and illustrated by the imagery of the Toad and Hare in the moon) and extensive methods based on the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches. It also includes advice based on season, climate and gender, as well as choosing auspicious days to combine and take herbal medicine. The Hama jing is a rich resource for ancient prohibition and treatment advice for practitioners and students of Chinese medicine and anyone interested in the ancient medical classics.This is the first complete translation in English, containing the original Chinese, commentary and extensive reference tables, diagrams and illustrations
