Every Chinese home has a copy of the original Tong Sing, a traditional almanac (kalendar) that has been published annually for 1,200 years and whose origins, some experts believe, date back thousands of years.
This is a treasure trove of information on everything from astrology to herbal remedies and from Confucius to dream interpretation. The words Tong Sing mean "The Book That Knows Everything," and owning a copy is believed to bring good luck to its owner.
Inspired by this centuries-old work, Dr. Charles Windridge has written a book that answers every question about the Chinese way of life. Covering many of the same topics as the original, but based on the author's personal research and featuring many illustrations that were previously unpublished, Tong Sing: The Book of Chinese Wisdom will provide the Western reader with an unmatched insight into Eastern philosophy, astrology, folk traditions, medicine, and nutrition.
If you want to learn when the best time is to conceive a child, to better understand Taoist philosophy, or to read your fortune, Tong Sing: The Book of Chinese Wisdom will show you the way.
