Chinese Language Texts for Chinese Herbal Materia Medica + Formulae

[Guest guest]

Z'ev and other scholars,

 

Could you possibly help me by recommending the best text(s) for

Chinese herbal materia medica (in Chinese language), ie the best in

terms of the scope and/or depth of the material?

 

Likewise, for Chinese herbal formulae?

 

I am currently re-working my herb studies, but in Chinese instead of

English, but having difficulty finding appropriate texts.

 

I would be grateful if you could give publishers, authors,

distributors, etc.

 

Many many thanks!

 

Also, Z'ev some time ago I think you recommended what you felt were

the best translations of the Shang Han Lun and Wen Bing. Could you

possibly repeat those?

 

Some time ago we bounced around the idea of you starting a school of

TCM and if I remember correctly you withdrew from that idea. Maybe an

intersting half-way house would be for you to put together some

reading lists and a syllabus (or syllabuses designed for people from

different backgrounds and with different study objectives)? I would

personally find something like that invaluable.

 

With best regards
