Guest guest Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 Hi Tim and all y'all, Tim I just got one link, and that's the old one with su wen et al. The link that I was referring to had a variety of other classic texts, and some things that looked a little more modern. I'll try to dig it up again, I think it was just some guy in China who's into TCM and likes to type (I suppose there are stranger things between heaven and earth). I'm pretty sure I posted it during one of those wenlin discussions, we can search the CHA archives now, no? How does one do that, my crane ID always seems to slip my rather porous mind. HUGE SITE FULL OF ETEXTS In poking around for this site I found this http://members.lycos.co.uk/amtb/dyjc/list.php?type=8 Check out the little scroll down menus, everything I looked at had substantial full text, and there are plenty of nifty titles. I'll post this back to CHA, the internet may make the whole CD rom issue moot, I certainly can't get through this much material in my lifetime. I think Zhenzhen did print to pdf, the problem being you can only dump one screen to print each times, so you end up having to print and transfer many times to get a coherent chunk of info. I can't figure out how to get stuff out of the pdf files, but my computer savvy is limited... Par - Tim Sharpe parufus Tuesday, April 06, 2004 12:07 AM FW: materia medica Par, thanks for the reply. Here's some stuff you sent out last year, I don't know if the link you were looking for is one of those two. Let me know what your friend says about the Chinese classics disk. Did you get a chance to try out the trick I mentioned about printing directly to a PDF? -tim PS, Jim Ramholz mentioned this site after one of your posts: http://helios.unive.it/~pregadio/ikei.html Par Scott [parufus] Wednesday, May 21, 2003 4:08 PM Re: materia medica Todd Try these web sites, I see from your last post you figured out you can cut and paste into the program, one of these has chunks of Ben Cao Gang Mu, which are very easy to read, the other has some other information which might fit the bill. http://bencao.wangking.com/bcgm.asp http://www.tian-i.com.tw/ This has formulas, and some other stuff that I haven't looked at yet. Par - cha Cc: Bob Damone ; ; ; bob felt Tuesday, May 20, 2003 10:30 PM materia medica I have been plodding through some chinese text on the san jiao using wenlin 2.6. I am actually pretty shocked at how much I can grasp. However it is only because I am familiar with the topic and the perspective of the author. It would be a lot rougher with completely unfamiliar material, if not impossible for me right now. However it is encouraging. I was wondering if anyone could send me some scanned chinese text from a standard basic materia medica. I am curious to see what I could get out of something was organized in that format as opposed to prose essay.
