Study of ancient literatures of Chinese traditional medicine, a joint project undertaken by Chinese and UK scientists, has recently published its findings online in a form of over a thousand pictures collected from ancient Chinese traditional medicine literatures.
The project, jointly initiated by China Institute of Medical History and Literature and London Medical History Center, is designed to advance the modernization of Chinese traditional medicine. Researchers collected pictures and illustrations from diverse ancient Chinese traditional medicine literatures, and have them screened and consolidated, depicted with accurate scientific languages in both Chinese and English. These pictures and illustrations present a vivid evolution of Chinese traditional medicines. The first batch of releases are mostly the introduction illustrations found in the medical literatures produced in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, with some others pictures on acupuncture, acne and sore operation, bone setting operation, and children?痵 diseases. These pictures have offered great artistic values, in addition to their precious literatures values. |
