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.

This translation covers second half of Zhang Jingyue’s fabled Eight Battle Arrays of New Formulae, including one hundred and sixteen formulae from the last four battle arrays (cooling, heating, securing, and corresponding). 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.

This is the third installment of Purple Cloud Press Zhang Jingyue series, which aims to bring to non-Chinese readers one of the brightest minds in the history of Chinese medicine.
