Jīnguì yào lüè lùn zhù 金匱要畧論註

Discursive Annotation of the Jīnguì yào lüè by 徐彬 (Xú Bīn, Zhōngkě 忠可, fl. early Qīng, 清) — disciple of 喻昌 (Yú Jiāyán)

About the work

A twenty-four-juan early-Qīng commentary on the Jīnguì yào lüè, dated Kāngxī xīnhài 辛亥 = 1671. By 徐彬 Xú Bīn (字 Zhōngkě 忠可) of Jiāxīng 嘉興, disciple of the major Jiāngxī clinician 喻昌 Yú Jiāyán (1585–1664). The work is one of the earliest sustained Qīng Jīnguì commentaries — predating 李彣 Lǐ Wén’s Guǎng zhù (KR3ef087, 1682) and 程林 Chéng Lín’s Zhí jiě, and contemporaneous with the early printing of 趙以德 Zhào Yǐdé and 周揚俊 Zhōu Yángjùn’s èr zhù (KR3ef083, printed 1687).

Abstract

The Kanripo source file is essentially empty (header only) — body content has not been digitized into the jicheng.tw edition. The work is bibliographically well attested: it was selected for the Sìkù quánshū and the SKQS tíyào (in KR3e0006) notes that Xú’s standing as Yú Jiāyán’s disciple (dìzǐ 弟子) places his learning in a clear teacher-line, and that the work’s selection for SKQS inclusion is partly on that ground.

Composition date 1671. The work belongs to the foundational early-Qīng Jīnguì commentary tradition that emerged in the generation after 趙以德 Zhào Yǐdé’s Yuán–Míng Yǎn yì — Xú, 周揚俊 Zhōu Yángjùn (the supplementer of Zhào’s commentary), 程林 Chéng Lín, and 李彣 Lǐ Wén all writing in the 1670s–80s. Xú’s commentary is the most extensive of these (24 juan vs. the others’ 8–22), reflecting the discursive (lùn zhù 論註) genre — sustained essay-style discussion of each canonical clause rather than concise running annotation.

The Kanripo jicheng.tw edition is a stub. For the actual text content, see the parallel KR3e0006 entry (the Sìkù quánshū edition of the same work).

Other points of interest

The Kanripo source file is essentially empty — body content was not digitized into the jicheng.tw base edition. The work is, however, fully preserved in the Sìkù quánshū recension and is therefore one of the better-documented early-Qīng Jīnguì commentaries.
