AbstractThe Song Jin Period of Chinese History was a transformative time in many areas of society resulting in a rich and multifaceted historical interweave. The medical academic schools of the Song Jin Period represent a flowering of development and re-interpretation of the theories of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Complex social forces had combined to drive an intellectual revolution in the understanding and application of treatment principles. Zhang Zihe was the core scholar within an interpretive approach that came to be known as the School of Purgation. This method stood in opposition to the rampant use of tonic medicines instead arguing that purging or draining would better manage disease. Zhang was considered highly influenced by the Yellow Thearch's Inner Cannon (Huangdi Neijing), Cannon of the Yellow Thearch's Eighty One Difficulties (Huangdi Bashiyi Nanjing) , and the Discourse on Cold Damage (Shanghanlun), yet he developed a unique theory. This paper examines his theories, their historical context, their relation to imported agricultural grains, and understanding in the modern milieu.rn |
