Inspiring and encouraging teacher, tireless translator, passionate and prolific writer, Sabine Wilms remains true to the Chinese tradition to which she has dedicated so much time, energy and scholarly integrity. In time-honoured fashion she often includes the commentaries to the classics she is translating, so that we are exposed not only to the classics themselves, but also to the considered brilliance of so many who have pondered and reflected on these topics down the centuries.

Studying Chinese classics from the original texts opens the door to a richer comprehension of the culture with its particular philosophical perspective and deepens our understanding of its traditional medicine. Given access to the Chinese text itself, complete with pinyin transliteration, students can hone their Chinese language skills as they ponder the well-ordered text structure and phrasing and increase their own vocabulary as they follow line by line.

With her deep knowledge, her long-term immersion in the subject and her stimulating, enthusiastic teaching, Sabine is uniquely placed to be an ideal guide on this exciting and enjoyable journey of discovery.
