Features: Wenre Jingwei is a compilation by the renowned Qing Dynasty medical scholar Wang Mengying. This book collects works on Wenbingle (heat disease) before the 1860s, ranging from relevant passages in Neijing (Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon) and Shanghan Zabing Lun (Treatise on Cold Damage and Miscellaneous Diseases) at the top, to Wenre Lun (Treatise on Heat Disease) by Ye Tianshi, Sishi Fugqi Wai gan Pian (Three Seasons Hidden Qi External Cold Damage Chapter) by Xue Shengbai, Wai Gan Wenbing Pian (External Cold Damage Heat Disease Chapter) by Chen Pingbo, and Yibing Pian (Epidemic Disease Chapter) by Yu Shiyu. It is structured with the writings of Xuanyi, Qizhong, and Zhongjing as the warp and the debates of Ye, Xue, and others as the weft, making it a comprehensive masterpiece of Wenbing (heat disease) studies at the time.
In this book, Wang not only compiled the original texts on heat disease theory from classical works but also incorporated his personal insights to systematically discuss the theory and treatment of heat disease. The book elaborates on many aspects, including hidden qi and new qi, the theory, the role of summerheat and miasma as pathogens, and methods of heat disease diagnosis and treatment. It serves as an important reference for later generations studying heat disease. This book holds significant reference value for learning and researching heat disease and is suitable for clinical, teaching, and research personnel in traditional Chinese medicine and integrated Chinese and Western medicine.
