kochi Posted February 5, 2017 hello, I'm just looking for the original chinese text of the yellow court classic 黄庭经 and so I come here. I practice since some years taiji quan and now I want therefore to study this classic book. but there is no translation in german (I'm a german), I have here 'only' an english version. In another thread there is a link (http://qingainu.blog.sohu.com/216942165.html),but it doesn't work for me, because I can't no chinese. it would be nice, if someone could help me with a pdf or doc-file with only the text of the book. thanks a lot kochi 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kar3n Posted February 5, 2017 Hello, and welcome to the bums We have some professional Chinese translators here, I hope that they can help you. Personally, when studying original texts, translations have been more on an intuitive level when there is no word to word rendering. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aetherous Posted February 6, 2017 https://www.amazon.com/Jade-Writing-Yellow-Court-Classic/dp/1456481657/This version includes all of the Chinese characters. The translation (English) is questionable at best, but sounds like you want to translate it yourself. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kochi Posted February 6, 2017 thank you all for welcoming me https://www.amazon.com/Jade-Writing-Yellow-Court-Classic/dp/1456481657/This version includes all of the Chinese characters. The translation (English) is questionable at best, but sounds like you want to translate it yourself. yes, I want to translate it in german, but it is more a study. I bought the above book, but if I read it, so I read only the english version, because I can't chinese. And my english ist bad too; every word has a field of meanings around himself and I only know a little part of it. That's why I could only understand a little part of the already difficult text. In google translator one can draw the chinese signs and so they can be convert into digital given signs, but this is very laborious. But if there is nowhere a digital version of the 黄庭经, so I have to do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
