description: Terms of traditional Chinese medicine may number ten thousand. Only those which are of practical use, i.e. those which are commonly used in clinical work and teaching today, are listed in this dictionary. Besides the English equivalent of each entry, most of the entries are given explanations in order to carry their meaning and implication into English more fully for better comprehension.The terms are arranged into 12 chapters so that those which are closely related in nature and meaning are grouped together and the readers who know little about traditional Chinese medicine may find it easier to grasp their idea.There is also a list of Latin Names of Chinese Drugs in Common Use. Finally there is a Chinese character strokes index.This dictionary is prepared under the guidance of the authorities of the Beijing Medical College.
