Guest guest Posted April 9, 2001 Report Share Posted April 9, 2001 Hi Kelly, This work is from chapter 72 of the Ling Shu (Tong Tian - Different Types of Man) - not the Nan Jing - my bad. Korean constitutional styles are predicated on this passage. Shao Shi said "Generally speaking some people belong to Tai Yin, some people belong to Shao Yin, some people belong to Tai Yang and some people belong to Shao Yang, and some people belong to both mild in Yin and Yang. In a word, in the five types of people, their appearances are different, the strong and weak conditions of their tendons and bones are different, and the overabundant or debilitative condition of their energy and blood are also different." This passage is from the China Science and Technology Press "Yellow Empero's Canon Internal Medicine" PP 776 -- all typos intended. It is my opinion that case management of difficult to treat and knotty diseases require getting out of the quagmire of the symptom complex by gaining a view of the constitution.

Is it something from the "Shen Pulse Model"?. In my brief scanning of Paul Unschuld's Nan Jing I saw nothing mentioned of this constitutional diagnosis. I am fascinated as to the implications from an herbal perspective. Please clarify if possible on this post or my email....thanks Kelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not read his work. I found it impractical compared to chapter 72 and it's exponents. This may be because I have only read the partial material available in English. It is interesting though -- it seems to collapse French homeopathic notions of constitution here and there so -- back to classical sources for me.
