Book Reviews of Chinese Acupuncture and Moxibustion
Book Review: Yellow Bible
Summary: 4 Stars
What can you say about a 2500 year-old tome' on a 5000 year-old procedure? There are 616 pages dedicated to engendering the Asian mind-set into Western language. Having read the translation to THE ART OF WAR, I know that much of eastern thought/language is difficult, at best, to ply into English. This translation of Huang Di's possibly mythical translation of the art and science of eastern medicine, specifically acupuncture and moxabustion, to Chi Poa is not a smooth read. Many of the ideas set-forth are, surprisingly enough, foreign and need to be re-read to absorb the meanings and understand the working of the eastern mind-set. It is, however, fascinating to think about the engineering of an entire system of health care based on ideas developed over centuries and all without the "benefit" of blinded, double-blinded and FDA "trials" or cadaveric study. I am greatly impressed and intrigued by the Qi (Chi) relation to Einstein's matter/energy conversion hypotheses as well as the inner-workings of the mind-body-spirit interactions. This is not a text to learn how to do acupuncture. It is a text for acupuncture students. It is a difficult read of Chinese translated to English by the Chinese... go figure.
