Features: Wenre Jingwei (Treatise on Warm and Heat Diseases) is a work compiled by the renowned Qing Dynasty medical scholar Wang Mengying. This book collects writings on warm disease (Wenbing) prior to the 1860s, ranging from relevant passages in classics such as the Neijing (Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon) and the Shanghan Zabing Lun (Treatise on Cold Damage and Miscellaneous Diseases) to the works of Ye Tianshi (On Warm Heat), Xue Shengbai (On Warm Dampness), Chen Pingbo (On External Warm Diseases), and Yu Shiyu (On Epidemic Diseases). It is structured with the writings of Xuanyi, Qizhong, and Zhongjing as the "threads" and the debates of Ye, Xue, and others as the "weaves," making it a comprehensive masterpiece of warm disease studies at the time.
In this book, Wang Mengying not only organized the original texts on warm disease theory from classical works but also incorporated his own insights to systematically discuss the theory and treatment of warm diseases. The book elaborates extensively on topics such as latent pathogen (Fug Qi) and new pathogen (Xin Qi), the theory, the role of summerheat (Shuya) as a disease, and methods of warm disease diagnosis and treatment. It serves as an important reference for later generations studying warm disease. This book holds significant reference value for learning and researching warm disease and is suitable for clinical, teaching, and research personnel in traditional Chinese medicine and integrated Chinese and Western medicine.
