Free download Currents of Tradition in Chinese Medicine 1626-2006 [Kindle Edition] from mediafire, rapishare, and mirror link In 1626, a young man named Fei Shangyou moved his family to Menghe, a small town in the Yangzi delta of China. According to family legend, he abandoned his career as a scholar and began working as a physician. In doing so, he founded a medical lineage that continues to the present day and produced some of the most influential physicians in the Chinese medical tradition. This book describes the development, flourishing, and decline of this lineage, as well as that of the other medical lineages and families with which it merged over time to form the “current of Menghe learning.” The history of the Menghe current is relevant to anyone interested in the development of Chinese medicine in late imperial and modern China. This book traces Chinese medical history along the currents created by generations of physicians linked to each other by a shared heritage of learning, by descent and kinship, by sentiments of native place as well as nationalist fervor, by personal rivalries and economic competition, by the struggle for the survival of tradition and glorious visions of a new global medicine.
