The Classics

July 23, 2001

Introduction:

Dr Leung Kok-yuen (Liang Jue-xuan) was one of the first pioneers to champion Chinese medicine in North America, based in Vancouver, B. C. He suggested two listings of essential classical medical works to his students, including Phillipe Riviere who is a member of Chinese Herbal Medicine list. This list is made available as a gift from Phillipe. I hope my translation from French is passable, any errors are my own. This is a work in progress, please feel free to correct any errors by e-mail. The second list will follow soon.

This list is absolutely wonderful to finally have---and probably the

most important contribution to this forum.

Z'ev,

Afraid your attachment was missing or did not have an associated program.

Could you perhaps resend it as a .txt file rather than a .att ?

Thanks,

Interesting list. I assume that each section is complete within

itself. If so, this list seems very idiosyncratic, i.e., one person's

opinion. To me, it says more about Leung Kok-yuen than it does about

Chinese medicine. I think we all remember the list of 100 greatest

English language books published in the media a year or so ago.

Bob,

Certainly this is one Chinese doctor's opinion of an ideal classics

list, although certainly his knowledge base is much wider than the

average Western practitioner. I've got another one from him of about 60

titles, I'll be sending it along soon. It is meant to be a pointer in

the right direction, not definitive.

z'ev and Jim,

I was just suggesting that readers be a little careful when looking at

such a list. I was very surprised by both some of the inclusions and

some of the omissions. That's all. Other English language lists of

important premodern Chinese medical books might include the

bibliographies of Bensky et al.'s Acupuncture, Materia Medica, and

Formulas & Strategies, Unschuld's CM: History of Ideas, and Wiseman et

al.'s Fundamentals as some " off of the top of the head " ideas about

other lists.

Bob:

I would like to hear your expert opinion on what should be on this

list---even though Blue Poppy may not have enough time or be able to

translate everything on your list. Your choices for translation so

far have been excellent.

Sorry Jim, I can't promise I will have time to work up such a list,

although I did play with the idea when walking my dogs this morning.

If I do create such a list, I will post it to this group.

As for BPP translations in the works, we plan to bring out the the Yi

Lin Gai Cuo (Correcting the Errors in the Forest of Medicine)

translated by Simon Becker and the Xue Zheng Lun (Treatise on Bleeding

Disorders) translated by Lynn Kuchinski et al. sometime in the next

12-18 months.

The Classics

I am unable to find the reading list of The Classics that Zev Rosenberg

posted on 7/23. I read Todd's msg about opening it in word but I don't see

what to open in word--there is no attachment. I also tried figuring it out

from the archives to no avail. Can anyone help?

Thanks, Marian

I recently took a class with Jerome Jiang on the Seven

Schools of . SHL is the first school,

and was more or less the only school until the

Jin/Yuan Dynasties (more or less parallel to Song, but

in the North).

One thing he told us...Sun Simiao (Tang Dynasty) wrote

his QinJinFang when he was young, about 35 years old.

He said in it, his biggest regert is that he never got

to see Zhang Zhongjing's works (SHL + Jingui Yaolue).

However, in Master Sun's second book (Qianjin Yi

Fang), written when he was an old man, he quotes two

whole chapters of the SHL. So he did somehow find a

copy in that time.

This points out a few things...books were copied by

hand at the time, and a special book was kept secret.

Copies existed, but were not available to the general

public. Each doctor liked to keep his secrets. So the

book and Zhang ZJ had a great reputation all this

time, but were not readily available. SHL wasn't

ignored, it was unavailable.

Around this time, someone collected it and tried to

put it together. (Was it Wang Shuhe? I am not at home

with my notes.) The problem was that because of the

few copies and many wars, because the paper, bamboo,

and silk deteriorated with time, parts were missing

and out of order. It was reconstructed, and we do not

know how good a job they did, or if they added or

subtracted based on their own views.

In fact, the book was reorganized and reconstructed a

couple of times throughout history. Also, the Jingui

Yaolue was originally part of the same book as the

SHL, but it was in much worse shape when they tried to

reconstruct it, so it was not published again until

much later.

So the book we have received today, may be different

than what ZZJ wrote.

This was written from my memory, not my notes, but I

think it is essentially correct.

Hello group,

First of all I would like to extend the best wishes for the New Year.

Second I would like to ask for advice on the classics. I would like to

know which classics apart from the NanJing, LingShu and the ShangHanLun

would be good to study and which translations of any of the classics

would be the best ones. I understand that Mr. Rosenberg has great

insight in the Classics - which translations are the best in your

opinion, Sir?!

Thank you for your advice!

Best rergards,

Dear Thomas,

I appreciate your kudos, but I don't know if I qualify as an

'expert' at this point. I continue to study and teach material from

the classics when I can, and struggle with medical Chinese as I can. A

great classic available in translation is the Jia yi jing/Systematic

Classic of Acupuncture and Moxabustion, by Huang Fu-mai, translated by

Chip Chace from Blue Poppy Press. And, most important of all, the Pi

wei lun/Treatise on the Spleen and Stomach by Li Dongyuan, translated

by Bob Flaws (also Blue Poppy Press). Look for a great partial

translation of the Qian jin yao fang/Essential Recipes Worth a Thousand

Gold Coins by Sun Si-miao, translated by my dear friend, Sabine Wilms.

It will be out this year from Paradigm Publications.
