Description

This volume focuses on the world of oriental medicine and Chinese medical literature and presents an in-depth view of the artworks and literature associated with more than 2000 years of the Chinese healing arts. Historical manuscripts and printed texts, artefacts used by physicians and pharmacists, such as decorated medicine flasks, works of fine art and illustrations for teaching purposes and other items show the attention paid to aesthetic values in China's everyday culture in the past. - from Amzon
