This newly revised and updated edition of Paul U. Unschuld's
original 1986 groundbreaking translation reflects the latest
philological, methodological, and sinological standards of the past
thirty years. The Nan Jing was compiled in China during the first
century C.E., marking both an apex and a conclusion to the initial
development stages of Chinese medicine. Based on the doctrines of
the Five Phases and yinyang, the Nan Jing covers all aspects of
theoretical and practical health care in an unusually systematic
fashion. Most important is its innovative discussion of pulse
diagnosis and needle treatment. This new edition also includes
selected commentaries by twenty Chinese and Japanese authors from
the past seventeen centuries. The commentaries provide insights
into the processes of reception and transmission of ancient Chinese
concepts from the Han era to the present time. Together with the
Huang Di Nei Jing Su Wen and the Huang Di Nei Jing Ling Shu, this
new translation of the Nan Jing constitutes a trilogy of writings
offering scholars and practitioners today unprecedented insights
into the beginnings of a two-millennium tradition of what was a
revolutionary understanding of human physiology and pathology.
