First sentence: Based on many important, historical events and discoveries, Chinese medical practice can be divided into four great periods: The ancient or Legendary Period (2697-1122B.C.) The Historical or Golden Period (1121B.C.-960 AD) The Mediaeval or Controversial Period (961-1800 AD) The Modern or Transitional Period (1801-1936 AD) (see Figures 2-8).
