Anbefalt litteratur
Listen nedenfor inneholder en del bøker om henholdsvis kinesisk medisin (herunder akupunktur), kampkunst og treningssystemer (qi gong), samt kinesisk filosofi. Listen inneholder både klassikere og moderne verker.
Noe av stoffet er unektelig vanskelig tilgjengelig, mens andre bøker (av for eksempel Ted Kaptchuk) fungerer utmerket som innføring i gammel orientalsk tenkning.
