Acupuncture, Meridian Theory, and Acupuncture Points
This is the definitive book on the subject of acupuncture and will also be of use for those who practice acupressure and pressure points in martial arts. The book is invalueable- it provides the means of finding points in a simple and understandable way without alot of professional jargon. Another suggested book for martial artists would be The Layman's Guide to Acupuncture by Yoshio Manaka, ...

Three Kingdoms: Chinese Classics (Classic Novel in 4-Volumes)

99 reviews

Foreign Languages Press, 2005

Most fun I've ever had with a book.
I'll be perfectly honest: I've never been one to actually sit down and read a book unless it's been marked required reading. In fact, my only fantastic literary claim up to this point was conquering the Harry Potter series. Then, I picked up these volumes. I was absolutely enthralled. I picked up this book because I'm a big of the Dynasty Warriors series. In fact, I just recently discovered ...

Outlaws of the Marsh (Chinese Classics 4-Volume Boxed Set) [BOX SET]

23 reviews

Foreign Languages Press, 2001

Full of adventure, will keep you reading!
I couldn't believe this story was written in the 13th century! The structure read like a modern novel. You won't be disappointed with the adventures that these characters get into. It is also a nice insight into ancient Chinese thought about political legitimacy and virtue. While very gory at times, this book really shows you how the ancient chinese thought. The morals are also applicable to ...

Showed One Writer's Shifting Concerns as She Turned to Political Commitment
This collection, published in China in English in 1985, was put out by Panda Books, a government-supervised publisher created to bring Chinese fiction to a larger English-speaking audience. It contained nine short stories by Ding Ling (1904-86), one of China's comparatively few influential female writers. The works, published originally between 1928 and 1941, were chosen by Ding for the ...

Journey to the West
I purchased this for my son for his birthday and I haven't seen his face since without one of the volumes in front of it. He absolutely loves it. I tried, unsuccessfully to find this set at other booksellers and as always when I need something, Amazon came through. Thank you for excellent service and availability. I look forward to many more purchases in the future.

Chinese Acupuncture and Moxibustion

Foreign Languages Press, 2005

FIve Stars Seems a bit much but let me explain ...
I have been training in TCM most of my life now. The thing about a lot of these transations is that people often make assumptions based on grammer ECT ... about what these books are worth ... my Chinese is OK ... but I don't have perfect grammar and most Chinese respect that. There is a bit of Chinglish in this book, but it is definately read-able. The books from the mainland are usually the ...

The True Story of Ah Q (Chinese/English)

2 reviews
Lu Xun

Foreign Languages Press, 2000

Absolutely masterpiece.
A must-see work. The most well-known short works in China by the greatest writer Mr. Lu Xun in China's history. Try to ask any people from mainland China, I am sure 99% of them have read this story of Ah-Q. Ah-Q is the most famous character in China. This short novel reflects the status of the whole society in early 20th century, which was in the end of the last feudalistic Dynasty in China.

Foreign Languages Press, 2001

This is a very PITHY and MEANINGFUL book.
This book is well known in China. It MAY be available directly from China. It tells the important story about how the changes in government policy impinge upon the lives of the people and espeically one woman who owns an inn. She has a special recipe for noodles; she sells the noodles and becomes wealthy under capitalism. BUT, capitalism becomes a CRIME after the communists take over. She ...

The Atlas of Layered Anatomy of Acupoints

Gao Linghua

Foreign Languages Press, 1999

Disappointing
As a beginning TCM student, I was looking for a reference on the order of Worsley's (hard to find) Traditional Chinese Acupuncture. I ordered this "Atlas" sight unseen, and was rather disappointed. The plates are a bit small to be as precise as I would like, especially for the feet. The book is arranged according to body area rather than channels (which I find frustrating for learning purposes). ...

A Dream of Red Mansions (3 Volume Set)

18 reviews
Cao Xueqin

Foreign Languages Press, 1995

A human subject that will never fade away
"A Dream of Red Mansions" is a story focusing on a high spiritual love story that happened in a noble family, but what it wants to speak is much far beyond a love story theme. The author's attempt is to depict a macro-viewed picture which leads us to the very deep insight of life itself in complexity and profoundity, and not another Chinese classic writer have been more successful at doing this ...

Confucius

Foreign Languages Press, 1999

The Lun Yu, the Analects of Confucius, should be in Everyman's Library.
There seems to be some confusion here by some of the Reviewers about this translation of the Lun Yu--the Analects of Confucius--of Kong Zi. The Everyman's Library edition is the respected Arthur Waley translation from 1938. Look inside the book at the Copyright page provided by Amazon and there you will see that this is the Arthur Waley translation. Or you can go to the Everyman's Library ...

A GREAT indroduction to Wushu
I began studying Tai Chi at Chicago Wushu Guan in July 2005. Since this was the first time I had followed any formal training, I wanted to find background information about what was being offerred by CWG; and when I asked Sifu Daniel Pesina about some books I could read, "Essentials of Chinese Wushu" was the first one he said. Now that I own, the book, I can see why; this is not a manual that ...

China's Cultural Doctor
After studying to become a doctor in a Western-style medical school in Nanjing in the 1910s, Lu Xun decided that the real diseases afflicting China were not physiological, but sociological. Thus, in order to truly work toward the health of the nation, he decided to diagnose the nation's maladies as an author rather than a physician. Unlike most of his contemporaries, he took the radical ...

Little Sisters of the Grassland

Anonymous

Foreign Languages Press, 1973

Interesting bit of Chinese Propaganda
This book was apparently a bit of a curiosity for Westerners back in the 70's. I remember looking through it as a child, and as an adult looking back and seeing just how propagandistic it was! (Not that American cartoons were free of propaganda in say, the 1940's, wow!). The story is enchanting enough, of two little sisters that brave the cold and hardship to secure their flock of sheep in the ...
