Book Description
CHEN PAN-LING'S ORIGINAL TAI CHI CHUAN TEXTBOOK (TAI CHI CHUAN CHIAO TSAI), translation of the Chinese text published in 1963, emerged when Chen chaired a committee of renowned martial artists of the 1940s. The resultant form, supported by scientific theory, incorporates the best from many styles popular at that time. Over 300 photos & illustrations act as a foundation for today's family styles. Tai chi chuan's mission is mental & physical well-being through self-defense. Scientific research supports tai chi's effectiveness in improving balance. Falls can mean decreased mobility, increased expenses, even nursing homes. This dilemma means more taxes for all, & poor quality of life for senior baby boomers. Teaching tai chi chuan to people of all ages is the express purpose of the original text, & the present translation. Y.W. Chang, Chen's senior student, collaborates with Ann Carruthers, a qualified curriculum developer & educator. This text has the elements of other tai chi chuan books, but with more structure for teaching & learning. Commentary, glossary, & other teaching aids make it an ideal supplement for university & hospital settings, along with the traditional martial arts studio. Blitz!

The Four Masterworks of the Ming Novel
Author: Andrew H. Plaks
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691273502
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 430
Book Description
A new interpretation of some of the great works of Chinese fiction of the late Ming dynasty In this book, Andrew Plaks reinterprets the great texts of Chinese fiction known as the “Four Masterworks of the Ming Novel” (ssu ta ch'i-shu). Arguing that these are far more than collections of popular narratives, Plaks shows that their fullest critical revisions represent a sophisticated new genre of Chinese prose fiction arising in the late Ming dynasty, especially in the sixteenth century. He then analyzes these radical transformations of prior source materials, which reflect the values and intellectual concerns of the literati of the period.
