The Ling Shu, also known as the Ling Shu Jing, is part of a unique
and seminal trilogy of ancient Chinese medicine, together with the
Su Wen and Nan Jing. It constitutes the foundation of a
two-thousand-year healing tradition that remains active to this
day. Its therapeutic approach is based on a purely secular science
of nature, with natural laws serving as guidelines for human
behavior and medical treatment. No other text offers such broad
insights into the thinking and manifest action of the authors of
the time. Following an introduction, this volume contains the full
original Chinese text of the Ling Shu, an English translation of
all eighty-one chapters, and notes on difficult-to-grasp passages
and possible changes in the text over time on the basis of Chinese
primary and secondary literature of the past two thousand years and
translator Paul Unschuld's own work. The Ling Shu reveals itself as
a completely rational work, and, in many of its statements, a
surprisingly modern one. It will provide the foundation for
comparisons with the nearly contemporaneous Corpus Hippocraticum of
ancient Europe and today's iterations of traditional Chinese
Medicine as well.
