Preface. This book is based on a manuscript written in Chinese by Liu Zheng-cai. Liu Zheng-cai is a Chinese doctor hving in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, the People's Repubhc of China who is also a self-professed Daoist. Dr. Liu is the director of the Research Institute of Gerontology and has published a number of other books on qi gong and nourishing life (yang sheng). As shown on the title page. Dr. Liu had help from a number of other associates in compiling this book. After writing this book in Chinese, it next went to Mr. Yang Shou -zhong, one of our Blue Poppy Chinese-to-English translators. Mr. Yang teaches English at the North China Coal Mines Medical College in Tangshan, Hebei Province. He studied classical Chinese medicine with his uncle as a child and practiced Chinese medicine clinically during the Cultural Revolution when he was "sent to the countryside" and, to a more limited extent, since then. In the process of translating this book into English, Mr. Yang made a number of additions and changes based on his own insights and research. These additions and changes were all okayed by Dr. Liu. In terms of the style of Mr. Yang's translation, 1 would call it a functional translation in that it is often more a paraphrase than a word for word, denotative translation. However, as with all Blue Poppy books and products, Mr. Yang has used Nigel Wiseman's Chinese-English translational terminology as his standard for Chinese medical technical terms as they appear in Wiseman's English-Chinese Chinese -English Dictionary of Chinese Medicine , Hunan Science & Technology Press, Changsha, 1995. ...
