Students of acupuncture and Chinese medicine recognize Zhang Zhongjing as the author of two seminal texts, that are among the most influential in Chinese medical history: the Treatise on Cold Damage Disorders (Sh&#257;ng Hán Lùn, &#20260;&#23506;&#35770;) and Essential Prescriptions from the Golden Cabinet (J&#299;n Guì Yào Lüè, &#37329;&#21294;&#35201;&#30053;). 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 Treatise on the Five Zang Organs (W&#468; Záng Lùn, &#20116;&#34255;&#35770;). This was discovered in 1900 in a hidden library of China's Mogao Caves of Dunhuang by a Taoist priest named Wang Yuanlu. The History and Compilation of Zhang Zhongjing's Wu Zang Lun stands as the first comprehensive work in English detailing the history and compilation of Zhongjing's Treatise on the Five Zang Organs (W&#468; Záng Lùn, &#20116;&#34255;&#35770;). It uses storytelling to illuminate the historical context of the five versions found in Dunhuang. 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.
