It focuses on the Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon (Huáng Dì Nèi Jīng), written between 200–300 BCE and widely regarded as the cornerstone of modern Chinese medicine. By examining this revered text, the book provides a unique perspective on how the channels were originally conceptualized and how they have evolved over time. In addition to exploring the channels outlined in the Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon, the book offers a comparative analysis of ancient and modern interpretations, illuminating their continuity and transformation. It brings the earliest documented descriptions of these channels to life, offering readers a rare glimpse into the roots of Chinese medical theory. The book provides an in-depth examination of the Eight Extraordinary Vessels, moving beyond their brief mentions in the Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon. Through a meticulous English translation of their earliest, more detailed descriptions recorded in The Canon of Difficult Issues (Nàn Jīng), it sheds light on these significant vessels. To enhance this exploration, the book also analyzes the insights presented in Ming dynasty physician Li Shi Zhen’s Study of the Eight Extraordinary Vessels (Qí Jīng Bā Mài Kǎo), weaving ancient wisdom with a scholarly perspective. This thoughtful synthesis offers a comprehensive journey into the profound legacy of Chinese medicine, making it an indispensable resource for practitioners, researchers, and anyone interested in the enduring principles and profound legacy of Chinese Medicine. 【目錄】
