Book Description
Excerpt from The Beverages of the Chinese; Kung-Fu, or Tauist Medical Gymnastics: The Population of China; A Modern Chinese Anatomist and a Chapter in Chinese Surgery The Chinese mode of infusion is perhaps not so well suited for our teas, as in their preparation they are already Spoiled to delicate palates accustomed to the less highly cured, sun-dried teas of China and Japan. Tea which requires milk and sugar has been spoilt by repeated firing and fermentation. The infusion made from such tea is coarse and bitter, and so we find it necessary to disguise its bitterness with srrgar and neutralize its astringency by milk, a thin alburninorrs fluid, which forms in the stomach an insoluble albuminate of tannin. We thus rnollify and sweeten the black drarrglrt we are so fond of imbibing. In this way, we first make our tea unpalatable and semi-poisonous, and then minimize its nauseous and bad qrralities by additions which destroy the delicate flavour. Tea should not be infused and left to draw, so as to take the strength out of it, as it is termed, but the leaves should be subjected to a rapid percolation with hot water. This object is attained by using a cup with a perforated bottom, held over or fitting into the teapot while the hot water is poured upon the leaves. The leaves do not come into contact with the infusion after it has passed the strainer. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
T’ai Chi and qigong are popular because of their great reputations as exercises with numerous health-related benefits. Can these benefits simply be results of placebo effects? Chapters in this e-book not only provide an interesting historical backdrop in which taiji and qigong developed, but also provide scientific support for the efficacy and effects of both modalities. Breslow’s chapter focuses on Daoist practices associated with their quest for immortality and longevity. Rhoads, Crider, and Hayduk looks at taiji and qigong with the tools of modern science. DeMarco compares Yang-style taiji practice of with guidelines provided by the National Institue of Health. Kachur, Carleton, and Asmundson provide an excellent chapter that gives insight into aspects of taiji practice that improve balance. The final chapter by Kenneth Cohen offers a history of the taiji ruler as a tool conducive to vitalizing the qi. Included are aspects of design, lineage, and some illustrated exercises, plus details on qi circulation. For anyone who questions the validity of taiji and qigong as exercise modalities, the collected writings in this book will provide information not available elsewhere. In addition to finding the historical and scientific foundation of these practices, the contents in this book will help improve taiji and qigong practice, bringing the many benefits as claimed for these gems of Chinese culture.

Book Description
Traces of a Daoist Immortal is a Daoist-infused tour de force on the Daoist mountain hermit Chén Tuán 陳摶 (Xīyí 希夷 [Infinitesimal Subtlety]; d. 989) and his fellow “hidden immortals.” Breaking various academic taboos, including hyper-historicism, social constructivism, and conformist mentalities, here Komjathy, in an aspirational gesture towards unbridled inquiry, offers annotated translations and scholarly introductions to ten major works associated with the Daoist immortal. The book also contains a cutting-edge, mythopoetic introduction that addresses the life and legend of Chén Tuán, his connection to the Western Marchmount of Huàshān 華山 (Mount Hua; Huàyīn, Shǎnxī), Daoist views about sleeping, dreaming, waking, as well as Daoist time-being.

Book Description
"This book follows up on recent findings that modern postural yoga is the outcome of a complex process of transcultural exchange and syncretism and digs even deeper, looking to uncover the disparate but entangled roots of contemporary yoga practice. In doing so, it proposes that some of what we call yoga, especially when it comes to North America and Europe, is only slightly genealogically related to pre-modern Indian yoga traditions. Rather, they are equally if not more grounded in Hellenistic theories of the subtle body, Western esotericism and magic, pre-modern European medicine, and late-nineteenth-century women's wellness programs. Marshalling these under the umbrella category of "harmonialism," the present book argues that they constitute a history of analogous practices that were gradually subsumed into the language of yoga. This allows us to fundamentally recontextualize the peculiarities of Western, and especially certain mainstream American form of yoga-their focus on aesthetic representation, their privileging of bodily posture and unsystematic incorporation of breathwork, and above all their overwhelmingly privileged female demographics. The initial chapters of the book lay out the basic shape and history of these concepts and practices, while the later chapters explore their development into a spiritualized form of women's physical culture over the course of the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries, including the ways in which they became increasingly associated with yoga"--
