Black and white and colour illustrations, 166pp, translated with commentary by Mark Hennessy, paperback, lower edge trifle marked otherwise very good. "Professor Cheng Man-Ch'ing regarded a set of five disciplines - the "five excellences" - to be the mark of a well-rounded person: calligraphy, painting, poetry, tai chi and medicine. Although he is best-known for his teachings on the martial arts (in particular, his highly influential adaptation of tai chi), versatility was central to Cheng's philosophy of life, and he encouraged his students to combine artistry with scholarship. This inspiring book is a commentary on and working compendium of Cheng's literary and pictorial interpretations of these subjects." Publisher's description.
