CM* 921 - Classical Texts II: Introduction to Classical Chinese Language and the Chinese Classical Texts

Credit(s): 3.00

CM 921 is the second of three introductory Classical Texts courses taught over the first year of the CCM curriculum. In this course, more complex grammatical structures are introduced. Students continue to build their vocabulary in Chinese medical terminology and the ability and confidence in translating simple sentences written in the style of classical Chinese into English. Students are also introduced to different styles of translation of Chinese medical texts. Excerpts from various medical texts, philosophical writings, and classical Chinese poems are used to demonstrate grammatical concepts in class. These example texts are also selected to help students gain a deeper understanding of Chinese medicine as a science and an art that is imbued with cultural, philosophical, and historical references.
