This section consists of related sub-topics, presented in systematically organized tables. Some present rather valuable information that may not be otherwise available to students, e.g. foods of conflicting properties, though explanation of these tables is not given, and not all of the items are translated into English. It is entirely at the instructor's discretion as to how to work with such materials. They can even be discussed in English so that important cultural information is understood. Keywords, however, should be learned in Chinese. Some tables, charts, or pictures included in this section are, however, directly related to sections of the vocabulary or exercises. Where this is the case, the designation 'See Chart' is used to draw students' or instructors' attention.¡@
