Professor Liu Duzhou was one of the giants of Chinese medicine in the twentieth century. His grasp of the Discussion of Cold Damage (Shang Han Lun) ) was unrivalled, and his use of simple direct Classical formulas to treat complex and puzzling diseases made his published work required reading for generations of Chinese herbal medicine students. These essays and case histories, translated by Steve Clavey, collect the best of over twenty years of publication in The Lantern, one of the most popular of the Chinese medicine journals published in the Western world. For the students of Classical Formulas, or for the Chinese herbs medicine student in general, this book provides access to the mind of a truly sophistticated practiioner of the art, whose experience and clinical flexibility are truly inspiring.

Cao Yingfu is the foremost expert on the subject of Cold Damage in early twentieth century Chinese medicine. This book is a collection of his case histories and essays on this demanding topic. Due to his deep scholarship in other areas of CHinese culture, and thus a particulary difficult style of writing, there is not much in English on Cao Yingfu, but his Jing Yan Shi Yan Lu (Records of Experiences with Classical Formulas), as well as his commentaries on both the Shang Han Lun and Jin Gui Yao Lue, were extremely influential on a whole generation of Chinese medicine luminaries, including Qin Bowei (whose personal reflections of Cao as a teacher are translated here), Zhang Cigong, Jiang Zuojing (who was instrumental in collecting these case histories, comments and records) What is unique about Cao’s writings is how he shares his intimate thought processes regarding diagnosis, differentiation, and choosing a formula. More, he goes beyond that and shares his doubts and trepidations when handling a particularly difficult case, and why he ultimately selected the approach he used.
