However, what is less well-known is that Zhang Zhongjing authored several other texts, all of which were lost over time, with the sole exception of the \u003ci\u003eFive Viscera Theory \u003c\/i\u003e(Wǔ Záng Lùn, 五藏论). This was discovered in 1900 in a hidden library of China’s Mogao Caves of Dunhuang by a Taoist priest named Wang Yuanlu.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe History and Compilation of Zhang Zhongjing’s Wu Zang Lun\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e stands as the first comprehensive work in English detailing the history and compilation of Zhongjing’s \u003ci\u003eFive Viscera Theory \u003c\/i\u003e(Wǔ Záng Lùn, 五藏论). It uses storytelling to illuminate the historical context of the eight versions of this book that were discovered: five versions found in Dunhuang and three versions from Zhejiang China, Korea, and Japan respectively. By exploring the origin and development of these versions, this book not only delves into Traditional Chinese Medicine but also intertwines fascinating elements of humanities, history, and geography. The reader is offered insight into the Dunhuang manuscripts’ background and the significance of Zhongjing’s contributions to medical literature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57577574236542,"sku":"NW9781032690063","price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781032690063.jpg?v=1785153779","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-usa\/products\/history-and-compilation-of-zhang-zhongj","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
