About the work
A late-Qīng (Guāngxù 19 = 1893) recension of 陳念祖 Chén Xiūyuán’s well-known early-19th-century pedagogical commentary the Shānghán lùn qiǎn zhù 傷寒論淺註, with extensive supplementary annotation and corrections by 唐宗海 Táng Zōnghǎi, the founder of the Zhōngxī huìtōng 中西匯通 (“Chinese-Western confluence”) school of medical thought. The work is a key document in the late-Qīng effort to reconcile the Shānghán canon with the new Western medical knowledge entering China through the missionary medical schools.
Abstract
The composition date of Chén’s Qiǎn zhù is ca. 1810; Táng’s Bǔ zhèng layer is dated 1893. Chén’s annotation is straightforwardly pedagogical, aimed at the literate but non-specialist student. Táng’s overlay introduces Western anatomical and physiological terminology where it can be plausibly correlated with classical doctrinal language — a methodology that defines his Zhōngxī huìtōng program. The work is one of the principal late-Qīng pedagogical works on the Shānghán and was widely reprinted in the early Republican period.
The catalog meta gives 漢·張仲景撰，清·陳修園淺注，唐容川補正 — accurately reflecting the layered authorship.
