Features: Wenre Jingwei is a work compiled by the renowned Qing Dynasty medical scholar Wang Mengying. This book collects writings on Wenbing (heat disease) prior to the 1860s, ranging from relevant passages in Neijing (Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon) and Shanghan Zabing Lun (Treatise on Cold Damage and Miscellaneous Diseases) to works such as Ye Tianshi's Wenre Lun (Treatise on Heat Disease), Xue Shengbai's Rushi Bing Pian (On Heat and Dampness Disease), Chen Pingbo's Wai Gan Wenbing Pian (On External Heat Disease), and Yu Shiyu's Yibing Pian (On Epidemic Disease). It is structured with the classical writings of Xuanyi, Qizhong, and Zhongjing as the "axis" and the debates of Ye, Xue, and others as the "weave," making it a comprehensive masterpiece of Wenbing studies at the time. In this book, Wang Mengying not only organized the original texts on Wenbing theory from classical works but also incorporated his personal insights to systematically discuss the theory and treatment of heat disease. The book elaborates on various aspects of Wenbing, including latent pathogen and new pathogen, theory, summerheat-dampness as a disease, and treatment methods for heat disease, serving as an important reference for later generations studying Wenbing. This book holds significant reference value for learning and researching Wenbing and is suitable for clinical, teaching, and research personnel in traditional Chinese medicine and integrated Chinese and Western medicine.
