The title itself expresses a world vision and reality where material and structure are secondary to the living energy of Ling Shu, the Spiritual Pivot. Written in the form of a dialogue in which the emperor seeks information from his minister Ch'i-Po on all questions of health and the art of healing, 'The Yellow Emperor's Classic' has become a landmark in the history of Chinese civilization.
Its influence has reached neighboring cultures as well. A foundation of Chinese life sciences and medicine, the Huang Di Nei Jing Su Wen is now available for the first time in a complete, fully annotated English translation. This two-volume edition includes excerpts from all the major commentaries on the Su Wen, and extensive annotation drawn from hundreds of monographs and articles by Chinese and Japanese authors produced over the past years and into the twentieth century.
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. It is the first book in the Chinese medical literature entirely devoted tp pulse diagnosis.
As such, it is the undeniable and necessary foundation text for anyone seriously interested in understanding the rationale for and method of reading the pulse in Chinese medicine. Although not an easy read, this book is a mine of valuable information for those wishing to go more deeply into a study of the pulse. The Hama jing is a rare classic, that has almost slipped into obscurity. It opens a window to a lesser known prohibition wisdom of ancient times and presents various detailed prohibitions based on natural phenomena.
These include the passage of time expressed by the lunar cycle and illustrated by the imagery of the Toad and Hare in the moon and extensive methods based on the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches. It also includes advice based on season, climate and gender, as well as choosing auspicious days to combine and take herbal medicine. The Hama jing is a rich resource for ancient prohibition and treatment advice for practitioners and students of Chinese medicine and anyone interested in the ancient medical classics.
This is the first complete translation in English, containing the original Chinese, commentary and extensive reference tables, diagrams and illustrations. The most important classical text of Chinese Medicine, The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Chinese Medicine is often seen as daunting by students who are faced with a variety of different translations, of which some may not be reliable.
This introductory guide makes it accessible to all, providing a summary of each chapter which emphasises the clinical relevance of the text. The work is composed of two texts each of eighty-one chapters or treatises in a question-and-answer format between the mythical Yellow Emperor and six of his equally legendary ministers. The Neijing is one of the most important classics of Daoism. The Neijing is generally dated by scholars to have been produced around BCE.
The Neijing departs from the old shamanistic beliefs that disease was caused by demonic influences. Instead the natural effects of diet, lifestyle, emotions, environment, and age are the reason diseases develop. According to the Neijing , there are rules and relationships in nature that have universal validity. The practice of medicine is the application of the knowledge of these rules to the treatment of disease and the promotion of health. Man is a microcosm that mirrors the larger macrocosm.
In ancient times the Yellow Emperor, Huang Di, was known to have been a child prodigy. As he grew he showed himself to be sincere, wise, honest and compassionate. He became very learned and developed keen powers for observing nature. His people recognized him as a natural leader and chose him as their emperor. During his reign, Huang Di had discussions concerning medicine, health, lifestyle, nutrition, Taoist cosmology with his ministers, including Qi Bo, and others. In our time, however, people age prematurely, living only fifty years.
Is this due to a change in the environment, or is it because people have lost the correct way of life? They understood the principle of balance as represented by the transformations of the energies of the universe. They formulated exercises to promote energy flow to harmonize themselves with the universe. They ate a balanced diet at regular times, arose and retired at regular hours, avoided overstressing their bodies and minds, and refrained from overindulgence of all kinds.
They maintained well-being of body and mind; thus, it is not surprising that they lived over one hundred years. They do not know the secret of conserving their energy and vitality. Seeking emotional excitement and momentary pleasures, people disregard the natural rhythm of the universe. They fail to regulate their lifestyle and diet, and sleep improperly.
So it is not surprising that they look old at fifty and die soon after. On the mental level, one should remain calm and avoid excessive desires and fantasies, recognizing and maintaining the natural purity and clarity of the mind.
When internal energies are able to circulate smoothly and freely, and the energy of the mind is not scattered, but is focused and concentrated, illness and disease can be avoided. They were active, but never depleted themselves. Because they lived simply, they knew contentment, as reflected in their diet of basic but nourishing foods, and clothing that was appropriate to the season but never luxurious.
Since they were happy in their position in life, they did not feel jealousy or greed. They had compassion for others and were helpful and honest, free from destructive habits.
