Medicine in China
Unschuld provides a description and analysis of the contents and structure of traditional Chinese pharmaceutical literature. Unschuld has selected some one hundred titles in this far-reaching study.
What is Medicine?
A comparative history, this book looks at the different ways & contexts in which European and Chinese medicine have developed, arguing that each has been and remains as legitimate a path to follow as the other.
Traditional Chinese Medicine
"This small volume by one of the most distinguished living historians of traditional Chinese medicine is a tour de force of specialist knowledge."--Victor H. Mair, University of Pennsylvania.
Nan-Ching
Although the study of traditional Chinese medicine has attracted unprecedented attention in recent years, Western knowledge of it has been limited because, until now, not a single Chinese classical medical text has been available in a serious philological translation. The present book offers, for the first time in any Western language, a complete translation of an ancient Chinese medical classic, the Nan-ching. The translation adheres to rigid sinological standards and applies philological and historiographic methods. The original text of the Nan-ching was compiled during the first century A.D. by an unknown author. From that time forward, this ancient text provoked an ongoing stream of comm...

Nan Jing
This newly revised and updated edition of Paul U. UnschuldÕs original 1986 groundbreaking translation reflects the latest philological, methodological, and sinological standards of the past thirty years. The Nan Jing was compiled in China during the first century C.E., marking both an apex and a conclusion to the initial development stages of Chinese medicine. Based on the doctrines of the Five Phases and yinyang, the Nan Jing covers all aspects of theoretical and practical health care in an unusually systematic fashion. Most important is its innovative discussion of pulse diagnosis and needle treatment. This new edition also includes selected commentaries by twenty Chinese and Japanese aut...
Huang Di Nei Jing Ling Shu
TheÊLing Shu, also known as theÊLing Shu Jing, is part of a unique and seminal trilogy of ancient Chinese medicine, together with theÊSu WenÊandÊNan Jing.ÊIt constitutes the foundation of a two-thousand-year healing tradition that remains active to this day. Its therapeutic approach is based on a purely secular science of nature, with natural laws serving as guidelines for human behavior and medical treatment. No other text offers such broad insights into the thinking and manifest action of the authors of the time. Following an introduction, this volume contains the full original Chinese text of theÊLing Shu, an English translation of all eighty-one chapters, and notes on difficult-to-grasp passages and possible changes in the text over time on the basis of Chinese primary and secondary literature of the past two thousand years and translator Paul UnschuldÕs own work. TheÊLing ShuÊreveals itself as a completely rational work, and, in many of its statements, a surprisingly modern one. It will provide the foundation for comparisons with the nearly contemporaneousÊCorpus HippocraticumÊof ancient Europe and todayÕs iterations of traditional Chinese Medicine as well.
