Chinese Language Narration: Culture, cognition, and emotion




Chinese Language Narration: Culture, cognition, and emotion (Studies in Narrative) by Allyssa McCabe and Chien-ju Chang


English, Chinese | 2013 | ISBN: 9027226598 | 221 pages | PDF | 1 MB




Chinese Language Narration: Culture, cognition, and emotion is a collection of papers presenting original research on narration in Mandarin, especially as it contrasts to what is known regarding narration in English. One chapter addresses dinner table conversation between Chinese immigrant parents and children in the United States compared to non-immigrant peers. Other chapters consider evaluation patterns in Mandarin versus English, referencing strategies, coherence patterns, socioeconomic differences among Taiwanese Mandarin-speaking children, and differences in narration due to Specific Language Impairment and schizophrenia. Several chapters address developmental concerns. Distinctive aspects of narration in Mandarin are linked to larger issues of autobiographical memory. Mandarin is spoken by far more people than any other language, yet narration in this language has received notably less attention than narration in Western languages. This collective effort is a critical addition to our understanding of cross-cultural similarities and differences in how people make sense of experiences through narrative.

Fundamentals of Traditional Chinese Medicine




Fundamentals of Traditional Chinese Medicine (World Century Compendium to Tcm, Book 1) by Hong-Zhou Wu and Zhao-Qin Fang


English | 2013 | ISBN: 1938134281 | 460 pages | PDF | 5,6 MB




Traditional Chinese medicine (Tcm), with a history of thousands of years, is the crystallization of the ancient Chinese people"s experience in their struggle against diseases. It is also an integral part of their splendid culture. Under the influence and direction of classic Chinese philosophies, it has undergone long-term medical practice and infiltrated into, as well as absorbed from, other subjects at that time, thus gradually evolving into a unique medical theoretical system that contributed significantly to the health care of the Chinese people and the prosperity of the Chinese nation. This 7-volume set comprehensively covers the main components of Tcm, such as Basic Theory, Diagnosis, Prescription, Chinese Materia Medica, Tui Na, Acupuncture and Moxibustion.

The information contained within the Chinese Medical Qigong Therapy: A Comprehensive Clinical Text has currently been tripled and reformatted into five exciting new textbooks. The five new Medical Qigong textbooks are composed of both modern and ancient knowledge, graphics, and expanded techniques guaranteed to fascinate and intrigue the reader. Never before in the history of Chinese Medicine has a textbook series been made available to the public that includes such comprehensive and thorough understandings on ancient Chinese energetic healing techniques.

This third textbook includes a thorough understanding of the ancient metaphysical theories of Chinese energetic medicine, including Qi diagnosis, materializing and dematerializing energy, discovering and removing energetic cords, long distance scanning (moving clairvoyance), breath incantations (mantras) and medical talismans, hand seals (mudras), the ancient Daoist use of the magic mirror, advanced energy cultivation and Qi emission techniques, vibrating palm cultivation techniques, and other practical clinical applications of energetic medicine. The featured highlights of this clinical textbook include: – Introduction To Differential Diagnosis – Clinical Examination and Diagnosis – Establishing the Medical Qigong Clinic – Principles and Parameters of Energetic Therapy – Balancing the Body"s Energetic System – Other Healing Modalities – Healing Emotional Traumas – Precautions and Ethical Considerations – Qi Massage and Tissue Regulation – Qi Extension, Vibration and Advanced Emission Techniques – Sound and Color Projection – The "Invisible Needle" Theory & Application.
