Weekend One Fall 2008 - 19 lines of the Neijing

 

In his preface, Zhang Zhong Jing states that before

writing his work, he studied the Nei Jing Su Wen and the Yin Yang Da

Lun (Great Treatise on Yin and Yang). Many scholars believe that the

Yin Yang Da Lun refers to Chapters 66 through 74 of the Su Wen. These

chapters comprise nearly one-third of the entire Su Wen and cover the

doctrine of Wu yun liu qi (5 periods and 6 qi). Wu yun liu qi explains

what ancient Masters knew about the relationship between climate and

other occurrences, and particularly health and illness. The first 3

chapters explain basic concepts and the later chapters clarify the

application of these concepts.

Chapter 74 lays out the effects of climate changes on human health and

how to diagnose and treat these illnesses based on the flavor and

temperature of herbs. It is also in this chapter that the famous " 19

lines " are provided. The first weekend of the program will lay the

foundation for studying the Shang Han Lun by illuminating the concepts

of Wu yun liu qi (5 periods and 6 qi) and liu jing (6 Channels or

Conformations: tai yang, shao yang etc.); broadening our understanding

of Biao & Ben ~ Manifestation and Root (sometimes called root and

branch); clarifying the effects of climate change on health and

disease; illustrating the clinical usefulness of the " 19 lines " ; and

setting the stage for understanding formulas based on flavor and qi

(temperature).
