Revised and Updated Edition.
Every Chinese home has a copy of the original 'Tong Sing', a traditional almanac that has been published annually for 1,200 years and whose origins, some authorities believe, go back thousands of years before that. It is a repository of information on everything from astrology to herbal remedies, Confucius to the interpretation of dreams. The words "Tong Sing" mean "Know Everything Book" and possession of a copy is believed to bring the owner good fortune.
Inspired by this centuries-old work, Dr Charles Windridge has compiled a book that will answer every question you might ask about the Chinese way of life. Covering many of the same subjects as the original, but drawing on the author's own research and containing many previously unpublished illustrations, this book offers you an incomparable insight into oriental philosophy, astrology, folklore, medicine and food.
Whether you want to know the best time to conceive a child, understand more about the Taoist philosophy or tell your own fortune, 'Tong Sing: The Chinese Book Of Wisdom' will tell you how.
Covers astrology, horoscopes, health hints, anatomy, traditions, festivals, prophecies, recipes, dietary remedies, medicinal wines, herbal remedies, magic medicines, health foods, Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, Chinese years, martial arts, dreams, palmistry, and much more.
