The Li Lineage of Traditional Chinese Medicine

Abstract

Chinese medicine cannot be separated from Chinese culture and history. Professor Li Ding's path floridly embodies that, and so is worthy not just of admiration, but also of studious exploration. Aside from still, after well over half a century there, serving as a doctoral supervisor professor at the Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (SHUTCM), and being one of the university's founders, he continues to contribute long after having been formally declared “A representative inheritor for China intangible cultural heritage – Acupuncture and Moxibustion.” This is the second article in a three-part series on Professor. Li Ding. The first part focuses on ”The Lineage of Gu Yi Tang,” and that storied our family history we will continue discussing now, with this second installment: ”The Lineage of Chinese Studies,” which introduces professor Li's Chinese cultural studies. The forthcoming third part: ”The Lineage of Dao Sheng Tang” will discuss professor Li's inheritance of Chinese medicine specifically. These three articles will bring our readers a rich and colorful Chinese scroll painting, which not only focus on acupuncture and general Chinese medicine, but also touch ancient Chinese history, culture, Taoism, and even more.
