The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Medicine: A New Translation of the Neijing Suwen with Commentary

Description

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. Read more
