JinGuiYaoLue

Zhang, Ji張機, also known as Zhang, ZhongJing張仲景(AD 150-219), was a doctor who lived in the

Eastern Han dynasty, AD 25-220, in China. He wrote Treatise on Cold Diseases and Miscellaneous

 Disorders傷寒雜病論. This treatise was later divided in two parts during the Song Dynasty: 

1)     Shang-Han-Lun, “Febrile Disease Caused by Cold 傷寒論”, and

2)     Jin-Gui-Yao-Lue, “Synopsis of Prescriptions from the Golden Chamber金匱要略”

The Shang-Han-Lun, “Febrile Disease Caused by Cold, 傷寒論”, has been introduced in Clinical Herbology

III.  In this class, we will focus on the other part of Dr. ZhangJi’s張機work -  Jin-Gui-Yao-Lue,  “Synopsis

of  Prescriptions from the Golden Chamber金匱要略”. This book is the original source of most of the

literature in history related to internal medicine and Obstetrics/ Gynecology. Together with Shang-Han

-Lun, “Febrile Disease Caused by Cold 傷寒論”, the study of Jin-Gui-Yao-Lue, “Synopsis of

Prescriptions from the Golden Chamber金匱要略” helps make the understanding of the second major

developmental stage in TCM  history complete.

This part of the work by Dr Zhang, ZhongJing is very different from ShangHanLun for this is the part discussing the miscellaneous disease under different titles. Please go to the attached file to see details of the course.
