Tong Sing: The Book of Wisdom Based on the Ancient Chinese Almanac

by Charles Windridge, Cheng Kam Fong

The words 'Tong Sing' mean 'know everything book'. No wonder the traditional Chinese almanac contains information on everything from astrology to herbal remedies, Taoist philosophy to the interpretation of dreams. Drawing his inspiration from this centuries-old work, but using his own research and adapting the contents to appeal to a modern audience, Charles Windridge has compiled a fully updated book that will answer every question the reader can ask about the ancient Chinese way of life. Whether you want to know the best time to conceive a child, understand more about Confucianism or prepare your own dim sum, Tong Sing can tell you how.

Any publisher of such book makes valuable knowledge of Chinese almanac accessible to any one interested to learn and apply its contents.

This 2015-edition by Dr Charles Windridge included his own research and unpublished illustrations to the original contents. The true essence of the original could be lost in translation but the efforts are commendable and remain critical in sharing knowledge.

It is after all the Book of Wisdom, Tong Sing that empowers any lay person to learn and apply the knowledge head on.
