Huang Di Nei Jing Su Wen: An Annotated Translation of Huang Di's Inner Classic - Basic Questions

Paul Unschuld and Hermann Tessenow's is an annotated critical translation of the Huangdi Neijing Suwen, the foundational text of Chinese medical theory, working directly from the classical Chinese text and its historical commentary tradition rather than from a modern clinical restatement of its ideas. That direct textual and philological method, tracing organ and meridian theory back to this specific ancient source, is the translation's real evidentiary basis. This record has not independently traced a documented history of scholarly disagreement with Unschuld and Tessenow's specific readings. Use it for the content of classical Chinese medical theory as this foundational text states it; it is not a source for how Traditional Chinese Medicine is practiced clinically today, which needs a separate modern source.
