On this page you can find free handouts, summaries, etc. that hopefully can assist you in your study of the classic Chinese medical texts.

They are, of course, for personal use only.

This page will be updated regularly.

Huáng Dì Nèi Jīng

One of the four important classic texts of Chinese medicine. Every TCM student and practitioner should have a thorough understanding of the content of this book. However, that is not always easy. In order to assist the study of this classic text we have made our materials available.
In the table below you can find summaries of chapters of the Sù Wèn and Líng Shū. These are a valuable addition to the book The Yellow Emperor's Canon Internal Medicine of Nelson Liansheng Wu and Andrew Qi Wu.
We are currently updating them. On a regular basis we will add new summaries.
