Alternate Title Shang Han Lun

Summary "傷寒論" by Zhongjing Zhang is a foundational text in traditional Chinese medicine, likely written during the late 2nd century. This medical treatise focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of "cold damage" diseases, with a particular emphasis on fever and other symptoms caused by external pathogenic factors. It draws from ancient medical knowledge and methodologies to provide insights into effective herbal remedies and therapeutic practices. At the start of the work, the author reflects on the state of contemporary medicine, expressing concern over the neglect of medical practice among the educated elite, who instead focus on fame and fortune. With a note of urgency, he shares personal experiences of loss within his family due to severe illnesses, prompting him to seek out ancient wisdom and compile a comprehensive medical guide. The ensuing sections introduce the fundamental concepts of pulse diagnosis, explaining different pulse qualities and their significances in determining the state of health. Throughout the opening portion, the tone is scholarly and earnest, laying the groundwork for a systematic approach to understanding various ailments and their treatments.
