Description

"Learning Chinese is very probably the most rewarding single investment that a student of East Asian medicine can make." - Nigel Wiseman and Zhang YuHuan

The Chinese Medical Characters app is a tool to learn the foundational terms and concepts of Chinese medicine.

The app allows users to search the dataset by translation, Pīnyīn, or Chinese character. This feature enables the user to quickly understand the different translations of common Chinese characters they encounter in medical textbooks or other references. For example, a user can easily determine that the Chinese medical term translated variously as "deficiency" or "vacuity" or "emptiness" is actually a single Chinese medical term: 虛Xū. This knowledge allows the user to avoid confusion when referencing texts from different translators.

In order to increase fluency in Chinese medical terms, the app has a built-in character test. The test allows users to practice recognizing traditional or simplified characters and matching them with their correct Pīnyīn and English translations. Correct answers on the test reveal the common acupuncture points, herbs, formulas, and concepts in Chinese medicine that include this character. The user can select from different categories to test, such as Theory, Anatomy, Acupuncture, Herbal Medicine, Vital Substances and others to focus on, or the user can access the whole dataset at once. All progress made in mastering each category is recorded and displayed.

Finally, users can test their character retention by writing each character. To help with this challenging section, the user can temporarily display the character and review its proper stroke order before proceeding. Like the reading section, the user can select from different categories, such as Theory, Anatomy, Acupuncture, Herbal Medicine, Vital Substances and others to focus on or the user can access the whole dataset at once. All progress made in mastering each category is recorded and displayed.

Love this app

Love it! Thank you so much.

A must have

In a word- Amazing! So glad to have this incredible resource at my fingertips.

Okay

I gotta say I’m a little disappointed in this paid app. It’s very basic and elementary, and while I do appreciate the consolidation of characters in reference to Chinese medicine, I would love to see the history of the characters, the pictograph meaning, the significance behind the characters. THATs when it gets really interesting.

Essential

This app is great for anyone wanting to learn Chinese Medicine on Chinese Medicine’s terms. Beginners will learn terminology and characters that will benefit them during their whole career.

Outstanding app to learn medical Chinese.

A must have for Chinese medicine practitioners.
