This Element first discusses the creation of transmitted medical
canons that are generally dated from early imperial times through
the medieval era and then, by way of contrast, provides
translations and analyses of non-transmitted texts from the
pre-imperial late Shang and Zhou eras, the early imperial Qin and
Han eras, and then a brief discussion covering the period through
the 11th-c. CE. The Element focuses on the evolution of concepts,
illness categories, and diagnostic and treatment methodologies
evident in the newly discovered material and reveals a side of
medical practice not reflected in the canons. It is both traditions
of healing, the canons and the currents of local practice revealed
by these texts, that influenced the development of East Asian
medicine more broadly. The local practices show there was no real
evolution from magical to non-magical medicine. This title is also
available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
