Yīxué yuánliú lùn 醫學源流論

Essays on the Sources and Streams of Medical Learning by 徐大椿 Xú Dàchūn (1693–1771).

About the work

KR3eq012 is a second jicheng.tw-tradition exemplar of Xú Dàchūn’s Yīxué yuánliú lùn (1757), the principal substantive entry for which is KR3eq011. The catalog records the title twice within the same KR3eq division because the jicheng.tw corpus received two distinct manuscript-or-print transmissions of the same work, and the cataloguers assigned a separate KR id to each transmission to preserve the textual-witness distinction. The substantive content — the 99-essay arrangement, the 1757 self-preface, the doctrinal positions on the Jīngfāng tradition and against the JīnYuán Four Masters — is identical to KR3eq011 and is treated at length there.

Prefaces

See KR3eq011 for the dated 1757 self-preface signed at the Bànsōng shūwū 半松書屋 on Wúshān 吳山.

Abstract

For the work’s doctrinal significance — its founding role in the mid-to-late Qīng kǎojù yīxué movement, its programmatic re-canonisation of the HànTáng Jīngfāng tradition, and its polemic against the JīnYuán Four Masters — see the principal entry at KR3eq011.

The present entry is preserved as a separate KR id only to register the textual-witness distinction within the jicheng.tw corpus; the date-bracket and authorship-attribution follow the principal entry. CBDB records Xú Dàchūn at id 61225 with lifedates 1693–1771.
