Master of Five Excellences

Master of Five Excellences
- Used Book in Good Condition
Professor Cheng Man-Châ€™ing regarded a set of five disciplinesâ€”the "five excellences"â€”to be the mark of a well-rounded person: calligraphy, painting, poetry, tâ€™ai chi, and medicine. Although he is best known for his teachings on the martial arts (in particular, his highly influential adaptation of tâ€™ai chi), versatility was central to Chengâ€™s philosophy of life, and he encourage his students to combine artistry with scholarship. This inspiring book is a commentary on and working compendium of Chengâ€™s literary and pictorial interpretations of these subjects. Of interest to aficionados of Chinese art, culture, and history, Master of Five Excellences also offers internal techniques for practitioners of the martial arts, as Hennessy provides an insight into the rarely-glimpsed creative side of Cheng Man-Châ€™ing.
