Channeling the Moon: A Translation and Discussion of Qi Zhongfu's Hundred Questions on Gynecology, Part Two: 2 Paperback – 16 March 2020
Purchase options and add-ons
In the heyday of classical Chinese gynecology roughly eight centuries ago, Qí Zhòngfǔ 齊仲甫 composed a humbly named masterpiece, to address his students', colleagues', and patients' "Hundred Questions on Gynecology." Quoting and discussing all the major theories and treatments found in earlier gynecological texts, the Chinese original of this book must have been as useful to his Sòng dynasty readers as this modern English translation will be for any practitioner of Chinese gynecology today.
One of the eminent translators of Chinese medical literature, Dr. Sabine Wilms has once again crafted a meticulously researched, lovingly phrased, and abundantly annotated translation in an attractive and accessible edition that is sure to inspire our clinical colleagues and set a new bar for the clinical practice of traditional Chinese gynecology in the West. Channeling the Moon, Part Two covers questions 15 to 50 on miscellaneous conditions of gynecology and includes clinical commentaries by Sharon Weizenbaum and Genevieve LeGoff, Sabine' own discussions with extensive quotations from a wide range of medical classics, Chinese-English reference tables for formulas and materia medica, and a glossary and index.

Product description
Review
Sabine Wilms has done it again! Channeling the Moon Vol II continues the important conversation on Chinese medicine gynecology begun in Vol I. As a teacher of Chinese medicine, a clinician and a translator I am so happy to see this 2nd volume. Not only are Qi Zhongfu's questions important for the study of gynecology, but the commentary also adds to the reader's understanding and offers insights that are invaluable for clinical practice and for a greater perspective on the female body as understood by Chinese medicine.

About the author

After high school and undergraduate studies in East Asian Studies in Germany, I spent two years in Taiwan studying modern and classical Chinese. I then moved to the US for my graduate studies and have lived there most of the time since, teaching, writing, and farming. I am currently teaching courses on Chinese History and Culture, Classical Chinese, Classical Medical Texts (especially the Yellow Emperor's Classic), Gynecology, and occasional electives, at the National College of Natural Medicine, in the School of Classical Chinese Medicine in Portland, Oregon, and writing, translating, and publishing my own books through my own Happy Goat Productions.
I have been studying classical Chinese writings on medicine ever since my PhD research in Asian Studies and Medical Anthropology. While my academic background has given me a solid foundation in early Chinese philosophy, science, and cosmology, and therefore in a historically and culturally sensitive approach to classical Chinese medicine, I also enjoy an ethnomedical approach to Chinese medicine as a living, clinically effective, and ever-changing response to any given cultural environment.
Some of my favorite topics for research and teaching are
- gynecology, pediatrics, and reproduction
- yangsheng 養生 ("nurturing life") as understood in the broadest sense by the great medieval "King of Medicinals" Sun Simiao 孫思邈, including dietetics, lifestyle, regulating the emotions, moral cultivation, etc.
- medical ethics, and
- the modern clinical application of the wisdom from the classics, especially Zhuangzi.
In my academic life, I am happiest when engaging in a dialogue with practitioners on how to make this ancient wisdom come to life in our modern times. In my other lives, I find bliss in holding newborn goats, racing horses in Mongolia, digging in the dirt and hugging a tree, making Sauerkraut or kimchi with my daughter, or playing cumbias on the accordion. It's all about harmonizing Heaven, Earth, and Humanity in the old yangsheng way for me.
