Shānghán xīn jìng bié jí 傷寒心鏡別集
Supplementary Mirror of the Mind on Cold Damage by 張從正 (Zhāng Cóngzhèng, zì ZǐHé 子和, 1156–1228, 金), as recorded by his student 常德 (Cháng Dé)
About the work
A short one-juan Jīn-period Shānghán compendium attributed to 張從正 Zhāng Cóngzhèng (one of the “Four Masters of Jīn–Yuán” 金元四大家) but in fact a record of his oral teaching transcribed by his student 常德 Cháng Dé. The work is conventionally bundled with Zhāng’s other Shānghán writings as the “Bié jí” 別集 (supplementary collection) to the principal Xīn jìng 心鏡 redaction.
Abstract
The Kanripo source file is effectively empty (header only) — the text body has not been digitized into the jicheng.tw edition Kanripo carries. The work is known from external bibliographic evidence: it is listed in 《經籍考》 and in Tamba no Motoin’s Yī jí kǎo 醫籍考 (KR3es003) under Zhāng Cóngzhèng’s name, with the caveat that the actual editor / transcriber is Cháng Dé. Composition window 1190–1228 brackets Zhāng’s mature clinical practice and his death in 1228.
Zhāng Cóngzhèng’s distinctive doctrinal contribution — the “gōng xié” 攻邪 (“attacking pathogenic factors”) school, emphasizing sweating-vomiting-purging therapies — is reflected in the Xīn jìng bié jí’s clinical framework. The work circulated chiefly as part of Zhāng’s Rúmén shìqīn 儒門事親 (KR3e0051) corpus and was not transmitted independently in mainstream Sòng–Yuán–Míng catalogs.
The Kanripo jicheng.tw edition is a stub. For the actual text content, see modern collected editions of Zhāng Cóngzhèng’s works.
