Shāng Hán Lùn
The Shāng Hán Lùn (“On Cold Damage”) is the oldest surviving, most copiously commented, and most revered Chinese medical text on externally contracted disease. It describes the origin and development of such diseases and their treatment by a highly sophisticated use of medicinals combined in formulae that are skillfully modulated to deal with a vast variety of disease manifestations. The Shāng Hán Lùn originally formed part of the now inextant Shāng Hán Zá Bìng Lùn (“On Cold Damage and Miscellaneous Diseases”) by the Eastern Hàn physician Zhāng Jī (circa 150-219 A.D.). The sections related to externally contracted disease were reorganized by Wáng Shū-Hé (210-285) to form the Shāng Hán Lùn, and the sections related to other diseases of internal medicine were later re-arranged to form the Jīn Guì Yào Lüè (“Essential Prescriptions of the Golden Coffer”).
During the course the classic context as well as the modern clinical application will be explained. Although these texts were written 1800 years ago, they have since then been used, tested and commented on. This makes them a very valuable and useful ‘source of knowledge’.
