Yellow Emperors Classic of Medicine: Essential Text of Chinese Health

Description

This book offers practical advice on how to promote a long, happy, and healthy life. - By Maoshing Ni. (1995) 316pp

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 81 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 an in-depth investigation of such diverse subjects as ethnics, 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 pieces make up an interconnected whole.

The original test of the Neijing presents broad concepts and is often brief with details. The translator’s elucidations and interpretations, incorporated in to 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.
