Abstract
Successful acts of transcultural transmission of knowledge rest on an approach to translation that for the most part is highly literal. In the present paper, I describe this methodology and show how it has not been applied in the westward transmission of Chinese medicine. Through practical examples, I demonstrate the conceptual problems that arise through failure to choose the methodology described.
