杨明

Yang Ming's publicly available information is limited, and the shape of his work is chiefly reflected in the thirty-three titles held in our catalog. These titles span two broad areas: classical Chinese literature and traditional Chinese medicine. In literature, he has translated and annotated works such as Wen Fu, Shi Pin, and Wenxin Diaolong, commented on the poetry of Xie Tiao, Yu Xin, and other Six Dynasties poets, and contributed to a translation and annotation of Sanguozhi in a classics series, generally guiding readers into ancient poetry, prose, and literary criticism through close reading and selected commentary. In medicine, he focuses on the processing of Chinese materia medica, Chinese patent medicines, and pharmaceutics, with works including a Chinese-English study of traditional processing and modern research and participation in textbook compilation. A Brief History of the Yellow River shows his interest in historical writing. His work is largely oriented toward general readers and teaching, emphasizing close textual reading and clear organization of knowledge.
