Read as a book

Select the book of interest from the titles below this panel. Each book has been broken down in such a way that each heading (chapter, section, or original line of the text) in the paper edition becomes a separate row in the database. This allows the texts to be read as a book by clicking through the rows sequentially.

From the table of contents, you can click on any chapter or section of the book to take you straight there.

Searches

• First, select Headword only or Headword and Text depending on whether you wish to search in the heading of an entry/article or through the heading and the text below it.
  Biomedical term searches need to be performed on Headword and text because biomedical terms are only found in the text of entries.
• Then, in the search box, enter your search string, which can be English, unaccented Pīnyīn, simplified Chinese or traditional Chinese strings and press enter.
  Note that joined-up Pīnyīn can be used to search for headwords, but not the whole text.
• After entering your search word(s), you will see the Search Results appear. You can select
  • Starting with to give you headwords that start with your search string or
  • Containing to give headwords that contain (or the text of which contains) your search string.
• A filter box below Results allows you to insert another search string to narrow your search. So, for example, if your search string is blood vacuity, you can add headache in the filter box. To find all items in which blood vacuity and headache both appear, either in the headword or headword and text, depending on which selection you have made.

Links

• The texts include copious links to the Dictionary, Medicinals, and Formulas tables.
• For those studying Chinese, each character of the simplified Chinese text is linked to the Terms table, where examples of its use can be found, together with links to stroke order animations.
