The Rise and Spread of the “Red Goat Calamity” Prophecy
Among the various prophecies of calamities in China, the “Red Goat Calamity” ( hongyang jie 紅羊劫 ) has become the most well-known and provocative. This article denies the traditional conclusion that the prophecy of disaster always occurring in China during the year of the Red Horse or year of the Red Goat originated from the work Bing ding guijian 丙丁龜鑑 by Chai Wang 柴望 (1212–1280). The core idea of Chai Wang’s philosophy is that a monarch can avoid…
Coping With Hanged Ghosts
In Chinese culture, there has been a longstanding belief that if an individual commits suicide by hanging in a specific location, similar incidents will recur in that same place. This is because of reincarnation is contingent upon the resolution of any residual grievance, without which the spirit of the deceased person would keep inciting others to die by the same means. As hanged ghosts (Ch. diaosi gui) are seen as the essential cause of suicide…
The British Missionaries’ Attempts to Identify Chinese Medicine
The Western world has a profound historical engagement with medicinal resources originating from China.

Motivated by clinical necessities and the inquisitiveness of the Western scientific community, these missionaries meticulously documented the medicinal resources available in China, endeavoring to incorporate this knowledge into Western pharmacol…

After surveying 12 major commentaries, it is concluded that the situation is more complicated than a simple assertion. The seemingly opposite philosophy and philology approaches have been used eclectical…
A Preliminary Study of Pre-Season Taekwondo Preparation Strategy
PIT showed a trend toward better body composition (arm and trunk muscle) and sport performances (10M sprint and aerobic capacity) compared to DT. This finding may provide information on the effectiveness of a personal isolation training model for optimal preparation for taekwondo athletes and coaches. It may also serve as a useful and safe guideline for training recommendations during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19)
Reproducing Women
Chinese medical history is a booming academic field, and the subfield of women's medicine is flourishing. Within the last dozen years, excellent books have emerged one after another: in 1997 France
Innovation in Chinese Medicine (review)
It is self-evident to any modern medical historian that medical knowledge, just like any other aspect of culture, is subject to change. However, it is also true that the image of the history of Chinese medicine remains one of a stagnant, mysterious tradition bound by its ancient canons. It is not surprising that this image should be deeply etched on our historical consciousness, but there is much more to Chinese medical history, and, just as the …
