This is a study of the earliest extensive account of Chinese pulse diagnosis, or more
accurately, the examination of mai. Dr. Hsu focuses on Chunyu Yi, a doctor of the
early Han, and presents the first complete translation into English of his Memoir
which appears in The Records of the Historian by Sima Qian (d. ca 86 BCE). This Memoir
contains twenty-five medical case histories, and constitutes a document of enormous
importance to the history of medicine in China. The analysis covers the first ten
medical cases and their rich vocabulary on touch, as used in Chinese pulse diagnosis.
The patients treated were mostly nobility of the kingdom of Qi in eastern China, who
suffered from the indulgences of court life and were treated with early forms of decoction,
fomentation, fumigation, acupuncture and moxibustion. To date there is no book on
early China of its kind--back cover
