Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | Inhalt: The seven medical manuscripts from Mawangdui tomb three unearthed in 1973 represent the richest cache of ancient medical manuscripts ever found in China. These manuscripts which comprise Early Chinese Medical Literature reveal for the first time the breadth of medical knowledge in third and early second century B.C.E. China. Included are discussions of physiological theories and pathology, recipe manuals for the treatment of ailments and for the practice of macrobiotic hygiene, sexual treatises and illustrations of hygienic exercises. There is also an unprecedented documentation of magic in the medical manuscripts. Donald Harper's translation is the first complete translation in any language. Based on the photographic reproduction of the manuscripts and transcription published in Beijing in 1985, Early Chinese Medical Literature is the most accurate representation of the manuscripts, with thorough annotations and corrections of errors in the Beijing edition.
