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 (Shang H-L-n, ???) and Essential Prescriptions from the Golden Cabinet (Jin Gu--L--????). 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 (Wu Z- L-n, ???). 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 (Wu Z- L-n, ???). It uses storytelling to illuminate the historical context of the five versions found in Dunhuang. By explorin
