前言

Traditional Chinese health preservation has a long history, and consistsof a broad variety of methods. According to "Gu Yue", as quoted in Lu'sSpring and Autumn Annals of the pre-Qin period （c. 2100-221 BC）, inthe period of primitive society the ancient Chinese created the daoyinmethod, which combined physical and breathing exercises, for prevent-ing and treating ailments of the joints and other diseases, and building uptheir health. "Ke Yi", as quoted in The Book of Zhuangzi of the WarringStates Period （475 BC-221 BC）, spoke of the daoyin method for healthpreservation more explicitly, saying, "Breathe in and out to get rid of theold and take in the new; imitate a bear climbing and a bird spreading itswings to prolong life." The past several thousand years have witnessed acontinuous development of Chinese health preservation methods, whichbecame increasingly richer and diverse in content. Generally speaking,the health-preserving methods were kept in voluminous written records,with the exception of only a few in the form of pictures. These vivid pic-tures not only supplement the written descriptions, they are also preciouscultural relics.

內(nèi)容概要

Ancient Chinese civilization accumulated a wealth of experience in health preservation, much of which has been handed down to the present day. An Illustrated Handbook of Traditional Chinese Health Preservation draws on documents of traditional Chinese and Tibetan medicine, cultural relics and archeological findings to present 26 sets of pictures regarding qigong, daoyin, diet and living habits, dating from the Warring States Period (475-221 BC) to 1911. It also provides a brief introduction to the birth, development, changes and practice modes of each method.This book was compiled by leading experts on the documents and literature of traditional Chinese medicine. The pictures, mostly photocopied or reproduced from the originals, are all exquisite and rare works of the past, and demonstrate the distinctive traditional Chinese characteristics of this approach to health care.    The book may serve as a reference for those who wish to practice the exercises to preserve health and prolong life, as well as a valuable data source for lovers and researchers of traditional Chinese health preservation.    Translated from nearly 100,000 characters in the Chinese edition, the book contains about 700 pictures and adopts a format of 150x223 mm.
