The first time I saw a Chinese almanac, around 1990, that's when I decided I wanted to learn to read Chinese. Still learning, but I can (mostly) read the almanac now.

A series on addictions in Chinese medicine of the past. Most of the series is on wine, as that was the predominant thing, but the last video will be on tobacco, opium, and tea addiction.

Manuscripts were thought to have the power to save women suffering in a Buddhist hell of menstrual blood. In this Japanese image from the Tateyama Mandara, priests let float copies of the Blood Bowl Sutra that the women chase after in the hope that it will liberate them from hell. #ManuscriptMonday

Does anyone know how to find the original source for this painting? I am hoping to find an image with higher resolution. Paining by Yun Zhu 惲珠 (1771 – 1833). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yun_Zhu...

This topic fascinates me. The old doctors (men) thought that women were at risk for certain types of illness if they weren't married, having sex, and having babies. Part 1 of 3.

You can learn how to do anything on youtube, even making cow dung cakes for fuel. Apparently this is the preferred fuel for fires in alchemical processing for Ayurveda. In Chinese medicine, the preferred fuel is mulberry wood, but maybe that doesn't get hot enough for processing minerals.
