Shānghán shuō yì 傷寒說意
Discoursing the Meaning of Cold Damage by 黃元御 (Huáng Yuányù, 1705–1758, 清) — the catalog meta gives 黃玉璐 which is Huáng’s personal name (alongside the alternate forms 玉楸 / 玉路); 黃元御 is his zì
About the work
A ten-juan mid-Qiánlóng Shānghán commentary by Huáng Yuányù 黃元御 (catalog form: 黃玉璐), the dominant Shāndōng physician of the mid-Qīng and founder of the 四聖 (“Four Sages”) school of clinical doctrine. The Shuō yì is one of two complementary Shānghán commentaries Huáng produced — the more philosophically discursive companion to his close textual commentary Shānghán xuán jiě 傷寒懸解 — and represents his clinical-pedagogical exposition of the Shānghán canon for students.
Abstract
Composition window 1748–1758 is bracketed by Huáng’s most productive period (his five canonical xuán jiě commentaries were composed 1748–1753) and his death in 1758. Where the Xuán jiě form is a close clause-by-clause exegesis of canonical text, the Shuō yì is organized topically by zhèng 證 (syndrome) and presents Huáng’s distinctive doctrinal interpretation — a strongly yáng / zhōngqì 中氣 / spleen-stomach centered reading of the Shānghán — in pedagogically organized form. The work circulates with Huáng’s other Shānghán writings as a unit and is one of the most influential mid-Qīng Shānghán commentaries outside the 韓懋 Hán Mào / 尤怡 Yóu Yí mainstream.
The catalog meta uses the personal name 黃玉璐 — the same individual as 黃元御; the Shuō yì attribution is uncontroversial.
