Book Hero Magic created this recommendation. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! IS THIS YOUR NEXT READ?
This edition is ideal for scholars and practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine, historians of medical philosophy, and readers with a deep interest in ancient Eastern sciences. Its detailed annotations make it a valuable resource for academic study rather than casual reading.
A foundation of Chinese life sciences and medicine, this title is available in an annotated English translation. Combining the views of different schools, it relies on natural law as conceptualized in "yin/yang" and Five Agents doctrines to define health and disease, and repeatedly emphasizes personal responsibility for the quality of one's life.

Description
A foundation of Chinese life sciences and medicine, the Huang Di Nei Jing Su Wen is now available for the first time in a complete, fully annotated English translation. Also known as Su Wen, or The Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic, this influential work came into being over a long period reaching from the 2nd century BCE to the 8th century CE.
Combining the views of different schools, it relies exclusively on natural law as conceptualised in yin/yang and Five Agents doctrines to define health and disease, and repeatedly emphasises personal responsibility for the length and quality of one's life.
This two-volume edition includes excerpts from all the major commentaries on the Su Wen, and extensive annotation drawn from hundreds of monographs and articles by Chinese and Japanese authors produced over the past 1600 years and into the twentieth century.
