Book excerpt: Through hundreds of conversations with foreign students who were experiencing difficulty in learning the Chinese language, I realized that they were often slowed down because they did not perceive certain fundamental bases of this ancient language of more than 4,000 years.It is with the desire to highlight these fundamental bases, and with the wish to help students learn the Chinese language, that I undertook to write “Chinese Without Tears, the fundamentals of the Chinese language.”If today you were told: “With this book, you will learn the fundamentals of the Chinese language. Following, you will understand and read aloud a complete short story written in Chinese, story that you will translate into English, and finally re-write in Chinese”, would you believe it?Step by step, this book shows that although mastering the Chinese language may take a lifetime, an understanding of the basics can be grasped in a relatively short time, laying the groundwork for subsequent serious studies.

This book covers the theory of traditional Chinese medicine and discusses the topic in greater depth than any English language textbook available today. An abundance of classical references are also included here. The material in this text comprises course material for a professional course of training in TCM, which is also the basic material for studying and comprehension of other more advanced courses in TCM. The main contents include the physiological basis of essence-qi, yin-yang and the five phases, followed by the theories of essence, qi and blood, fluids, and spirit. Organ manifestation, channel and collateral theory, constitutional theory, etiology and patho-mechanism, and also principles of prevention and treatment are expounded upon. The knowledge in this textbook is approximately equal to that for students of TCM colleges in China, and coincides with the requirements in the Examination Syllabus for TCM Professional Practitioners Worldwide.
