GERMAN TRANSLATION BY SEPP LEEB

This article is based on the conviction that the traditional art of Oriental medicine is dying—both in mainland China, home of the mother trunk of the field, and consequently overseas where branches of the tree are trying to grow. It may be an anachronistic piece, written at a time when TCM administrators around the world are celebrating major advances in the field, such as increasing numbers of students, practitioners, patients, colleges, universities, and hospitals, which all appear to reflect a booming state of Oriental medicine.

BY ZHANG XICHUN (1860-1933)
TRANSLATED AND INTRODUCED
BY HEINER FRUEHAUF
GERMAN TRANSLATION BY MARKUS GOEKE

Zhang Xichun (1860-1933) is one of China's great scholar-physicians. He is primarily remembered for his prominent role in spearheading the early movement of Chinese-Western medicine integration during the first three decades of this century. The depth of his knowledge and the broad range of his activities, moreover, distinguish him as one of the last of the classical cast of renaissance physicians.

BY ANONYMOUS (12 Century)
TRANSLATED BY HEINER FRUEHAUF

HEINER FRUEHAUF

These lectures are an in-depth continuation of Prof. Fruehauf’s previously uploaded presentation on Macrocosmic Alchemy, which set out to delineate the basic parameters of the ancient cosmological system that originally informed Chinese medicine theory. They clarify the concept of the mid-level and high-level physician, and gives concrete examples as to how traditional knowledge about the months of the year, stellar constellations, hexagrams, rivers, and tribal territories can be used to significantly enhance diagnostic and treatment skills. Richly illustrated, professionally edited by Kamal Khan.
