This book offers a fresh English interpretation of the ancient channels in Chinese medicine, drawing from some of its most authoritative historical texts. It focuses on the Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon (Huáng Dì Nèi Jīng), written between 200–300 BCE and widely regarded as the cornerstone of modern Chinese medicine. By examining this revered text, the book provides a unique perspective on how the channels were originally conceptualized and how they have evolved over time. In addition to exploring the channels outlined in the Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon, the book offers a comparative analysis of ancient and modern interpretations, illuminating their continuity and transformation. It brings the earliest documented descriptions of these channels to life, offering readers a rare glimpse into the roots of Chinese medical theory. The book provides an in-depth examination of the Eight Extraordinary Vessels, moving beyond their brief mentions in the Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon.

That is, professionally trained tasters rely on sight, smell, and taste to judge the quality of tea. Generally speaking, as long as you go through a series of rigorous training courses and cultivation, maintain good physical fitness and sensory sensitivity at all times, and be in a stable environment, you can drink the quality of tea. Tea sensory evaluation has long been an important method for evaluating the quality and grading of tea, and is widely recognized by the tea industry.

How did lay people in old China save their lives when dealing with acute or chronic health issues? Conventional medicine was costly and might not have been an option for many. Instead, people in villages and towns relied on remedies drawn from a woodblock-printed illustrated booklet called the Seventy-Two Therapies, first published in 1847. The goal of this book is to foster an appreciation of China’s long tradition of folk remedies. Each folk remedy is illustrated by a page from the circa 1860s woodblock edition of the Seventy-Two Therapies which the author used for translation. He also added a historical and interpretive analysis to expand on each therapy and to place it in the context of contemporary thinking, aiming at academics and readers interested in the everyday lives of common people in pre-1950 China, and in the folk medicine wisdom inherited from the past. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “The 72 specific disease

想像與創造的無邊擴展藝術及文學的完美表達法國當代圖文大師————普拉斯François Place————獲獎好評無數・跨世代經典奇幻之作《歐赫貝奇幻地誌學》全新修訂版R-Z｜從紅河流域到季佐特國｜／雙眼所見即是寓言當我們妄圖擁有自然，自然也可能反過來擁有我們「在最後一則故事中，出現了印地安民族的季佐特人。他們遵奉『足行之禮』：盡可能在大地的表皮上留下最輕柔的痕跡。在他們行經過後，足印之處有時甚而長出花朵。那是一群與大地和諧共生的人類。我希望這三部書最終能停駐於這個意象上。」—— 法蘭斯瓦．普拉斯 François Place《歐赫貝奇幻地誌學》是法國圖文創作者法蘭斯瓦．普拉斯的經典之作，他以一幅字母圖為源，從二十六個字母發展出二十六張想像地圖，描繪並敘述虛構土地上發生的故事。這些揉合中古世紀地圖、城市聚落、林木走獸，以及神話和拓荒歷史的故事與圖畫，凝聚成一個擁有獨特世界觀的地圖宇宙。《歐赫貝奇幻地誌學》內容分為三冊，二十六個故事看似無涉，細看卻仍有所串聯，第三冊《R-Z：從紅河流域到季佐特國》的九個故事，突顯了人與自然的關係，直面彼此的衝突。在細緻的插畫中，遼闊的大地場景總對映著渺小的人：人站在通曉獸語的王者之王面前、人穿戴機械試圖征服未開拓的土地、人試圖拍攝月光下的洞穴鬼怪、人試圖建造比潮水更精確的計時工具……每個人皆能在故事裡找到自己的影子。人與自然的關係宛如棋戲。未知的事物永遠存在，對知識、技術的追求與積累，偶爾會讓我們忘卻這個世界的神奇之事，但普拉斯的故事提醒了我們，自然是活的。自然是信仰，是孕育生命的照顧者，也同時是令人畏懼的對手，當我們妄圖擁有自然，自然也可能反過來擁有我們。寫作本書的普拉斯，與正閱讀這些故事的我們，既是書裡的冒險者也是傳承歷史的研究員，隨著發生的事件起伏，進行觀看與探勘，並仍試圖找尋與自然共處的平衡。▌《歐赫貝奇幻地誌學》系列作獲獎紀錄．週刊圖書金球獎．里摩日10-14歲優良圖書獎．法國第三頻道少年讀物獎．聖迪耶德佛斯爵青少年文學獎．波隆納青少年非虛構小說文學獎．伊甦丹最佳圖書獎▌好評推薦想像一下，有一系列的島嶼，每一個都長得像字母表上的一個字母，而這些島嶼上存在著獨特的文化，看起來與我們的相似，卻又有些不同。想像一位插畫家∕人類學家逐一拜訪這些島嶼，詳細描述並繪製他在那裡發現的事物——奇怪的神話、建築材料、動物、神祇、交通方式等
