This is a study of the earliest extensive account of Chinese pulse
diagnosis, or more accurately, the examination of mai. Dr Hsu
focuses on a biography of Chunyu Yi, a doctor of the early Han, and
presents the first complete translation into English of the Memoir
in the Historical Records by Sima Qian (d. ca 86 BCE). This Memoir
contains biographies of the physician, medical case histories and
interviews, and constitutes a document of enormous importance to
the history of medicine in China. The analysis covers the first ten
medical cases and their rich vocabulary on touch, as used in
Chinese pulse diagnosis. The patients treated were mostly nobility
of the kingdom of Qi in Eastern China, who suffered from the
indulgences of court life and were treated with early forms of
decoction, fomentation, fumigation, acupuncture and moxibustion. To
date there is no book on early China of its kind.
