(3) Complete Compendium of Zhang Jingyue Vol. 50-51 Part 2: The Eight Battle Arrays of New Formulae with Commentaries and Supplementary Cases Studies
The Jingyue Quanshu 景岳全書 (Complete Compendium of Zhang Jingyue) is the culmination of the life work by the great Ming dynasty master, Zhang Jingyue (1563-1640 CE), an influential commentator of the Inner Canon, a vocal medical critic at his time, and a prominent figure of the Mingmen (Life Gate) School of Thought.
The first book covers the first three volumes of Zhāng Jingyuè’s monumental work and provides his core doctrines and teachings, including the eight principles pattern identification, the ten diagnostic inquiries, the distinction between earlier and later heavens, and the Mìngmén theory. In addition to these fundamental theories, it also presents topics such as practitioner-patient relationship, as well as his criticisms for the medical practice at his time. All of which have been highly influential to the historical development of Chinese medicine and continue to be relevant in today’s clinical practice.
The second and third books cover the first half and second half of Zhang Jingyue’s fabled Eight Battle Arrays of New Formulae, including an overview on the eight formulary strategies and seventy-one formulae from the first four battle arrays (supplementing, harmonizing, attacking, and dispersing). In addition to Zhang Jingyue’s original writing for his formula entries, this installment further includes Zhang Jingyue’s case studies, critiques by Shanghan Lun icon Chen Xiuyuan, and supplementary commentaries from more than sixty historical writings, in order to provide the reader a wider breadth of information without being confined to the view of just one single author. These volumes have been meticulously translated and annotated with comprehensive cultural references and context.
