Guest guest Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Hi Doug, I bought this book about a month or two ago and haven't had enough time to completely wrap my head around it. The english translation is quite different than the Mitchell, Wiseman edition, but it does have a bunch of case studies after many of the clauses showing various ways of using the formulas which is pretty cool. As far as I know Greta Young is considered a Shang Han Lun scholar so in theory it should be pretty good? I do find it a fun read, if that helps.
