Chinese Medicine Database
The Chinese Medicine Database has been organized around one central principle -- translation of Classical Chinese texts, and dissemination of that information.
There are thousands of Chinese medicine texts that have never been translated. We have compiled a small list of the ones that we have found, but we believe that there are tens of thousands of documents that span from pre-Republican times to the Han dynasty. Most of these documents will never be read by people in the West, simply because of lack of translation.
