new article on yin fire

[Guest guest]

Dear Members

 

I am pleased to announce that CHA has published a new article by one of

our own on the CHA website. , a recent graduate of PCOM, was

one of the students who pursued the study of Chinese language and classics

actively while in school. He was very interested in yin fire theory and

discussed it at length with all of us many times. The article he wrote is

thus not based on extensive personal clinical experience of the author,

but is rather a scholarly jaunt through the literature seeking the origins

and usage of this term (yin fire). However that jaunt included soliciting

the wisdom of those whose combined clinical experience is well over a

century.

 

It may be controversial in its inquisitiveness, but it certainly is

thought provoking whether one agrees of disagrees with Jason's points.

Jason has solicited and received feedback on the article from a number of

his teachers along the way (including several who read chinese) and

portions of this article are based upon discussion Jason engaged in on CHA

over the years. Jason has presented this as a basis for more discussion,

not a final word on the subject. Most (but not all) of us who read the

article agreed that it was quite publication worthy in this context. This

includes myself, who luckily gets to decide this one. If you wish to

challenge any points in this article, please do not hesitate to contact

Jason or post to CHA to discuss or debate the contents thereof.

 

Feel free to download and distribute the article as you see fit. The file

is a PDF version as I was unable to create an HTML version with proper

display of chinese characters. Most of you should have adobe acrobat to

read PDF's. Free asian fonts are available if you cannot read the

characters.

 

OK, without further ado, here it is:
