This research enabled the graphic design and computer science students to cohesively collaborate as a team. The experience also enhanced the students’ analytical and critical thinking as well as their creativity in internet visual communication. The knowledge and skills significantly benefited the students’ future professional path. The objective was to explore and develop an advanced website that employs principles of UX friendly design, aesthetic and effective visual communication of a cross-cultural subject, representing the “Society for Song, Yuan, and Conquest Dynasty Study.” The “Society for Song, Yuan, and Conquest Dynasty Studies” is an international society committed to the encouragement of the study of Chinese—as well as Jürchen, Khitan, Tangut, and Mongol—history, society, and culture from the founding of the Song dynasty to the end of the Yuan dynasty. The Society was incorporated as a non-profit corporation in 2011 in California and has been granted federal 501(c)3 non-profit status. The members of the society are Historians in many U.S. universities.University of Wisconsin--Eau Claire Office of Research and Sponsored Program

Within the last dozen years, excellent books have emerged one after another: in 1997 Francesca Bray produced Technology and Gender: Fabrics of Power in Late Imperial China, an important treatise on the place of women in the history of Chinese technology; Charlotte Furth’s pioneering A Flourishing Yin: Gender in China’s Medical History, 960–1665, published two years later, discusses the period from the medieval to the early modern; in 2008 Lee Jen-der李貞德 published Xingbie: shenti yu yiliao 性別,身體與醫療 (Gender, Body, and Medicine) and Nüren de Zhongguo yiliao shi: Han Tang zhi jian de jiankang zhaogu yu xingbie 女人的中國醫療史:漢唐之間的健康照顧與性別 (A History of Women’s Medicine in China: Gender and Tending to Health from Han to Tang), the first studies of gynecology in ancient China. Now we have Reproducing Women: Medicine, Metaphor, and Childbirth in Late Imperial China, a thorough reworking of Wu Yi-Li’s dissertation on fuke婦科, or women’s medicine. Extending the coverage provided by the works just mentioned, Wu focuses on the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries, ending with the fall of the Qing empire. Among the author’s qualities are a fine understanding of ancient medical reasoning, a pleasant writing style, and a commitment to refining our understanding of Chinese medicine. The title of this book refers to both women’s generative capacity and the reproduction of ideas about women. To that end, the author pays close attention to both social contexts and specialized medical concepts. For the former, Wu explains how nonphysicians produced and spread medical knowledge by writing and publishing—a special print culture with Chinese characteristics. She also discusses the shaping of fuke knowledge by masculine scholarship and male physicians’ efforts to establish their authority over midwives. Her treatment of specialized knowledge covers the major gynecological concepts: the functions and structure of the female body, distinguishing
