Guest guest Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 Hi all, Re: TCM terminology: My understanding of the ancient classics is that they are pictograms, being Asian in origin, mostly Chinese I guess.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 If what you said were true, studying Chinese medicine would be hopeless. . . A lot of this controversy on the classics will take a new turn when Paul Unschuld publishes the complete Nei Jing corpus, complete with glossaries, concordances, commentaries and explanations.
