Book excerpt: An indefatigable discoverer and preserver of lost traditions in the field of classical Chinese medicine, Liu Lihong has done it again—The Yellow Emperor’s Inner Transmission of Acupuncture features a passionate and clinically relevant synthesis of his discipleship with Yang Zhenhai, one of the last remaining master practitioners of Daoist acupuncture in mainland China. At the forefront of an international discourse on the definition and clinical significance of classical Chinese medicine, Yang and Liu promote yet another holistic medical system that radically contrasts the current penchant for symptom-oriented procedures. This English edition of their book lifts an important esoteric acupuncture lineage out of obscurity and presents it to us in complete and accessible form. The holistic approach has also defined Liu’s relentless search for the heart of Chinese medicine during the last three decades, driving his commitment to become the promoter of a diverse spectrum of healing traditions that exemplify the classical standards of Chinese medicine.

Does the carrier of this lineage transmit his knowledge in a virtuous way?

Download or read book Classical Chinese Medicine written by Liu Lihong and published by The Chinese University of Hong Kong Press. This book was released on 2019-04-19 with total page 696 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The English edition of Liu Lihong’s milestone work is a sublime beacon for the profession of Chinese medicine in the 21st century. Classical Chinese Medicine delivers a straightforward critique of the politically motivated “integration” of traditional Chinese wisdom with Western science during the last sixty years, and represents an ardent appeal for the recognition of Chinese medicine as a science in its own right. Professor Liu’s candid presentation has made this book a bestseller in China, treasured not only by medical students and doctors, but by vast numbers of non-professionals who long for a state of health and well-being that is founded in a deeper sense of cultural identity. Oriental medicine education has made great strides in the West since the 1970s, but clear guidelines regarding the “traditional” nature of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) remain undefined. Classical Chinese Medicine not only delineates the educational and clinical problems faced by the profession in both East and West, but transmits concrete and inspiring guidance on how to effectively engage with ancient texts and designs in the postmodern age. Using the example of the Shanghanlun (Treatise on Cold Damage), one of the most important Chinese medicine classics, Liu Lihong develops a compelling roadmap for holistic medical thinking that links the human body to nature and the universe at large.

Download or read book The Yellow Emperor s Classic of Medicine written by Maoshing Ni and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 1995-05-10 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Neijing is one of the most important classics of Taoism, as well as the highest authority on traditional Chinese medicine. Its authorship is attributed to the great Huang Di, the Yellow Emperor, who reigned during the third millennium BCE. This new translation consists of the eighty-one chapters of the section of the Neijing known as the Suwen, or "Questions of Organic and Fundamental Nature." (The other section, called the Lingshu, is a technical book on acupuncture and is not included here.) Written in the form of a discourse between Huang Di and his ministers, The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Medicine contains a wealth of knowledge, including etiology, physiology, diagnosis, therapy, and prevention of disease, as well as in-depth investigation of such diverse subjects as ethics, psychology, and cosmology. All of these subjects are discussed in a holistic context that says life is not fragmented, as in the model provided by modern science, but rather that all the pieces make up an interconnected whole. By revealing the natural laws of this holistic universe, the book offers much practical advice on how to promote a long, happy, and healthy life. The original text of the Neijing presents broad concepts and is often brief with details. The translator's elucidations and interpretations, incorporated into the translation, help not only to clarify the meaning of the text but also to make it a highly readable narrative for students—as well as for everyone curious about the underlying principles of Chinese medicine.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The majority of Chinese historians are of the opinion that The Yellow Emperor's Classics of Internal Medicine was accomplished through the cooperative efforts of a group of most outstanding scholars around the 3rd century B.C. The invaluable first Chinese medical classics stood for an excellent presentation of past experiences that had been accumulated from the days Chinese medicine began to be practised in ancient China.The Chinese believe that the practice of Chinese medicine in China dates back to the time of Yellow Emperor around 2,600 B.C., primarily on the ground that this gigantic classic was attributed to Yellow Emperor himself. This implies that Chinese medicine had already been practiced in China for over two thousand years before the Yellow Emperor's Classics of Internal Medicine was first published.The position of the Classics in Chinese medicine may be compared to that of Plato's Republic in Western philosophy and that of Shakespeare in English literature, for the good reason that the classic in question had, since its first publication, become the most authoritative guidance for the practice of Chinese medicine. It had become the foundations of Chinese medicine in the same way as the thought of Confucius had become the foundations of Chinese philosophy. Very few, if any, Chinese physicians of traditional Chinese medicine would challenge the basic contents of this celebrated classic to this day."To make diagnosis without asking the patient as to how the disease originally started, whether he has any worry or irregular habits of eating, whether he has any excessive habits of living, whether he has suffered from toxic effects, and to rely solely on hasty pulse diagnosis at the wrist to come up with a name of disease on such shaky grounds, which could easily cause harm to the patient are the fourth fault on the part of physicians.""A physician may become known to people living as far as one thousand miles away by word of mouth, but he cannot be called a good physician unless he knows thoroughly about pulse diagnosis and human affairs. The way of treatment consists in the precious heritage of naturally established truth. It is not wise to stick to pulse diagnosis at the wrist without an adequate knowledge of the pulse of the five viscera. When one hundred diseases begin to attack, the physician may blame himself or he may blame his teacher for his failure to instruct him in medical knowledge, but the most important thing is to administer treatment according to the established principles. A physician who fails to administer treatment according to the established principles and foregoes the legitimate medical skills may treat his patients with effects by accident, but it is quite foolish for him to be content with his accidental success.""Alas. Medicine is so subtle that no one seems able to know about its complete secrets. The way of medicine is so wide that its scope is as immeasurable as heaven and Earth, and its depth is as immeasurable as the four seas. Unless you learn by heart, it is likely that you will remain in the dark about the bright theory of medicine."

Download or read book Discussion on TCM Basics Through Understanding of the Yellow Emperor s Inner Canon written by Yingxiong Feng and published by Yingxiong Feng. This book was released on 2024-03-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Huangdi Neijing, also known as the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon, is one of the classical works of ancient Chinese medicine and is considered the foundation of traditional Chinese medicine. It is attributed to the Yellow Emperor, but in reality, it is a compilation of the medical experiences of various masters from different periods. The Huangdi Neijing consists of two parts: Suwen (Basic Questions) and Ling Shu (Spiritual Pivot). Suwen primarily discusses fundamental medical theories, including concepts such as yin and yang, the five elements, qi, blood, and bodily fluids, as well as the system of organs, meridians, and collaterals. On the other hand, Ling Shu focuses on details such as meridians, acupuncture points, and the functions of organs. Together, these two parts form the theoretical framework of TCM. Suwen, through exploration of topics like yin and yang, the five elements, qi, blood, bodily fluids, organs, meridians, etiology, pathogenesis, and treatment methods, establishes the fundamental theoretical system of TCM. This classic work emphasizes a holistic perspective, highlighting the importance of balance and harmony. It introduces many unique medical concepts, laying a solid foundation for the development of traditional Chinese medicine. In practical application, the theories presented in the "Suwen" provide Chinese medicine practitioners with a rich framework for contemplation and treatment methods. This book serves as an introduction to Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Book excerpt: In this selection of core texts, Richard Bertschinger presents a commentary and translation of the key writings for students and practitioners of Chinese medicine in the 21st century from the ancient, definitive set of books on Chinese medicine, the Huangdi Neijing or 'the Yellow Emperor's Medical Classic'. Bertschinger selects the key sections of the long and often impenetrable Huangdi Neijing that are vital for students and practitioners to know and understand for practice today, and provides an accessible view of these fundamental writings which remain central to all traditional approaches to medicine in China. Taking eminent Ming doctor and scholar Li Zhongzi's selection of texts as a basis, he also includes a number of additional texts from the Huangdi Neijing on topics such as the spirit in treatment, a resonance with nature, the art of needling, and the Five Elemental body and personality types, thus ensuring the relevance of this core set of information for students and practitioners of acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine today.
Download or read book Huangdi Neijing written by Yingxiong Feng and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2024-04-16 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon (Huangdi Neijing) may be one of the most important books you should read in your lifetime. Not because the book is important, but because you are important. Your health, with all its stages from birth to old age, is the most significant thing in your life. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is a traditional medical science that studies the physiology, pathology, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases, as well as health preservation and rehabilitation. It has a distinctive theoretical system. The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon is the earliest surviving medical classic in China, considered the progenitor of medical texts, laying the foundation for the theoretical system of TCM, and possessing significant theoretical and practical guidance for the development of TCM in later generations. Presenting the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon to the Western world faces three major obstacles. From Classical Chinese to Modern Chinese, and then to English, there is a language barrier. Translators must be both TCM doctors, well-versed in medical theory and experienced in treating patients; this is a professional obstacle. Additionally, translators must have a profound understanding of the truth of life. Only those who can overcome these three obstacles can truly convey the true meaning of the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon. This translation by Mr. Yingxiong Feng might be the best English version of Huangdi Neijing that you can find on the internet.

Whether you are a patient with an aggravating complaint or a curious intellectual seeker, Between Heaven and Earth opens the door to a vast storehouse of knowledge that bridges the gap between mind and body, theory and practice, professional and self-care, East and West. “Groundbreaking . . .
