Awesome TCM database free online?

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

 

Today, I stumbled on what appears to be an awesome TCM database

online (free) at http://www.tcm100.com/ but you must be able to read

/ translate Chinese to use it properly.

 

It has links to Special Research Database, Formula Database, TCM

Ancient Books Full-text Database, TCM Basic Phrases, TCM Basic

Phrases - w English translation & Other Databases.

 

For an idea of the scope of the info, see the (mediocre) Google

Translation at http://tinyurl.com/5sfxys and click on a topic of

interest there, for example, click on Professional Database or

Chinese medicine database or Prescription Database or The full text

of ancient Chinese medicine database or Basic terms of Chinese

medicine or Basic terms of Chinese medicine [English Translation}

 

I have not had time to explore these pages properly. It would be

great if colleagues fluent in Chinese would take a critical look and

report back to the List as to the value (or otherwise) of the site.

 

Links to user-searchable text from Suwen, Lingshu, Shanghan Lun,

Jinggui Yaolue, & Wenbing Tiaobian & other Classics are at

http://www.tcm100.com/zhongyiguji.aspx but you must REGISTER (free)

to use the search options.

 

Herb Categories, with links to details of classical herbs, are at

http://www.tcm100.com/userReg/JiaoCai/ZhongYaoXue/ZhongYaoXueMuLu.aspx

 

For example, do you know the names and professional details for 52

single herbs (!!) that enter ALL THREE Channels of LU, HT & KI? If

not, you can get the data in a few seconds!

 

As a test, [assuming that you have some knowledge of Chinese], search

the Single Herbs Database at

http://www.tcm100.com/ShuJuKu/ZhongYao/ZhongYao.aspx

 

Go to that URL and select the " Enter Channel " option beside each of

the 3 search panels.

 

Then enter the Chinese symbols for Fei, Xin & Shen (putting only one

symbol in each of the 3 search panels) and select the AND option.

 

Then click the search button, and see the results. For details of any

herb of interest, click on the blue link for that herb.

 

 

On http://tinyurl.com/5cqknn there are Chinese terms, with links to

English translations, under the following headings:

01. General

02. The history of medical literature

03. Basis of the theory of Chinese medicine

04. Diagnostics

05. Therapeutics

06. Pharmacy

07. Prescription school

08. Acupuncture

09. Massage, health, rehabilitation

10. Internal diseases

11. Surgical diseases
