Guest guest Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Par Scott had asked me about uploading the classic chinese medical texts (in chinese) that are found floating all around the net to tcmpedia.com (I've tried contacting the various places where these texts are located, none indicate copyright and the e-mails and links are all broken for more information. It appears they are part of some Japanese project to digitize the texts and were later translated to Big 5 and other formats to be freely distributed) I've added the copies I have and asked Par Scott to check over and see if his files are of better quality. I think the idea of a wiki opens an incredible opportunity to create a freely available line by line translation of these classics as well. I hope that those more versed in Chinese than I will take the opportunity to perhaps pick a text and take some spare time here and there to translate lines of it in to English or other languages.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Dear Group, If interested I have these texts (tcmpedia.com) plus a few more on my website. They are in multiple formats. Enjoy them, if you like. Will be adding more soon. Chinese Medicine/index.php?page=classic_texts Also on the site is the latest article by Dan Bensky, Craig Mitchell, Charles Chace, and myself about terminology.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Jason, Both links contain really cool material. I really respect Charles Chace's translation of the Jia Yi Jing. There is alot here to metabolize. Thanks. P.S. Are those texts locked on tcmpedia, so that other's can't alter the original classical text?

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Hugo, yes we did. Unfortunately, I went into www.tcmpedia.com and wouldv'e been able to make changes to the classical text that Jason just added. I didn't make any changes, but I was able to. Also, concerning the idea of limiting access to the site. ie. registering... I would hope that acupuncture students attending a candidate or accredited school and faxing in their ID would have access too. The question arises, what about M.Ds, D.Cs., DVMs, D.O.s who practice acupuncture? On 1/15/07, Hugo Ramiro <subincor wrote: > > > --- <johnkokko <johnkokko%40gmail.com>> wrote: > > > P.S.

Personally, I think that verifying licenses etc is perhaps necessary, but certainly complex and time-consuming. > The question arises, what about M.Ds, D.Cs., DVMs, > D.O.s who practice acupuncture? Exactly. What if they only did a weekend course on acupuncture? Will proof of hours studied also be required? Maybe a simple photocopy of a diploma or license is sufficient. Even so, there may be legitimate practitioners who cannot provide such...? The Tao Teh CHing said something about this: (Chapter 58) When government is lazy and informal The people are kind and honest; When government is efficient and severe The people are discontented and deceitful. haha Another idea which I believe has been mentioned already involves access through invitation as well.
