	The knowledge base for Chinese medicine is incredibly vast. There are thousands of medical texts which were written in the time span of the Han to the Qing Dynasties. These books make up the core knowledge of pre-modern Chinese medicine. Sadly, many of these books have not been translated into English, and there are thousands which never will be. This is no small feat, as each small to medium text takes a translator at least a year to translate, and larger texts take even longer. This is a labor of love, born from the desire to read the material that our teachers have read, and to drink from the source. Our mission is to translate these texts in a literal way. Most scholars will agree that a literal translation is the starting point for texts where the source material is in a different language. Once a literal translation has been created, and is on the market, then it is up to our community to tease out the layered meanings within the text. There are several ways that you the reader can help us reach our lofty goals, which we believe will greatly increase the resources for those interested in Chinese medicine. First: A subscription to our Chinese Medicine Database helps pay our translators to translate texts which have never been translated before. The Data within these texts is then searchable in Chinese or in English. Second: We have published twelve books to date, and they are: Bèi Jí Qiān Jīn Yào Fāng 備急千金要方 Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand in Gold For Every Emergency by Sūn Sīmiǎo 孫思邈 (Volume II - IV) Translated by Sabine Wilms Out of Print The Jīn Guì Fāng Gē Kuò 金匱方歌括 Formulas from the Golden Cabinet with Songs by Chén Xiūyuán 陳修園 (Volume I - III) Translated by Sabine Wilms The Zhēn Jiǔ Dà Chéng 針灸大成 The Great Compendium of Acupuncture & Moxibustion by Yáng Jìzhōu 楊繼洲 (Volume I) Translated by Sabine Wilms The Zhēn Jiǔ Dà Chéng 針灸大成 The Great Compendium of Acupuncture & Moxibustion by Yáng Jìzhōu 楊繼洲 (Volume V) Translated by Lorraine Wilcox The Zhēn Jiǔ Dà Chéng 針灸大成 The Great Compendium of Acupuncture & Moxibustion by Yáng Jìzhōu 楊繼洲 (Volume VIII) Translated by Yue Lu The Zhēn Jiǔ Dà Chéng 針灸大成 The Great Compendium of Acupuncture & Moxibustion by Yáng Jìzhōu 楊繼洲 (Volume IX) Translated by Lorraine Wilcox Raising the Dead and Returning Life: Emergency Medicine of the Qing Dynasty Translated by Lorraine Wilcox The Zhēn Jiǔ Zī Shēng Jīng 針灸資生經 The Classic of Supporting Life with Acupuncture and Moxibustion Vol. I-III Translated by Yue Lu The Jīn Guì Fāng Gē Kuò 金匱方歌括 Formulas from the Golden Cabinet with Songs by Chén Xiūyuán 陳修園 (Volume IV - VI) Translated by Eran Even The Zhēn Jiǔ Zī Shēng Jīng 《針灸資生經》 The Classic of Supporting Life with Acupuncture and Moxibustion by Wáng Zhízhōng 王執中 (Vol. IV-VII) Translated by Yue Lu The Nǚ Yī Zá Yán 《女醫雜言》 The Miscellaneous Records of a Female Doctor by Tán Yǔnxián 談允賢 Translated by Lorraine Wilcox The Nǚ Kē Cuò Yào 《女科撮要》 The Outline of Female Medicine by Xuē Jǐ 薛己 Translated by Lorraine Wilcox These books can be found at our own store, as well as Amazon, the Journal of Chinese Medicine, and China Books The purchase of these books helps us continue to translate and offer our community regular releases of never before translated books.
