1.0 out of 5 stars If it looks like a Duck ... and walks like a Duck ...
If it looks like a Duck ... and walks like a Duck ... it probably has a lot of quack in it. Worsley and his entire legacy have given us a distorted view on TCM. A white man's view to be totally honest, right down to hugely over analysing a construct which he clearly did not understand, he basically couldn't have understood.

If it looks like a Duck ... and walks like a Duck ... it probably has a lot of quack in it. Worsley and his entire legacy have given us a distorted view on TCM. A white man's view to be totally honest, right down to hugely over analysing a construct which he clearly did not understand, he basically couldn't have understood. If you want to waste your time with guesses and questionable lineage, go to J.R. If you want to get the truth, get the 15$ Chinese books with something valid to say.
