POLYEQUIVALENCE AND STORAGE CONCEPTUAL UNIT OF CHINESE TERMINOLOGY
Keywords:
Medical concepts, y¯ın-y´ang （阴阳）, p´ı (皮), ideograms, xi`ang p´ı (象皮), s¯ang b´ai p´ı (桑 白皮), hu´ang (黄) and q¯ıng (请), Chinese medical concepts, English and Chinese terminology.Abstract
The theory of traditional Chinese medicine is totally different from that of modern medicine and has a unique system of its own. Some of the terms are rather difficult to express in other languages, nor is it easy to find an exact translation of the original. Some words that convey the concept of the Chinese terms convey it only in part.
