"Wenre Jingwei" is a five-volume general treatise on febrile diseases. It was compiled by Wang Shixiong (Meng Ying) of the Qing Dynasty in the second year of Xianfeng (1852). This book "takes the writings of Xuanqi Zhongjing as the classics, and the opinions of Ye and Xue as the latitudes", so it is named "Jingwei". The book selects the discussions on febrile diseases in the Nei Jing, Treatise on Febrile Diseases, and Synopsis of the Golden Chamber, as well as the articles on febrile diseases by Ye Tianshi, Chen Pingbo, Xue Shengbai, Yu Shiyu and other Qing dynasty scholars, and compiles them into volumes and articles. It adopts the opinions of later generations of scholars and uses Wang's commentaries to annotate and analyze the meanings one by one. Later generations called "Wenre Jingwei" a comprehensive work on the study of febrile diseases, and regarded it as an introductory work for learning the study of febrile diseases.
Reader comments
This book is really good! It is like a large encyclopedia of febrile diseases, explaining various diseases and treatments very clearly. I particularly like Wang Mengying's annotations, which are so clear that people can understand them at once. This reminds me of Ye Tianshi's "Treatise on Warm Heat", both of which are classics in the study of febrile disease. If only there were more good books like this, we students of Chinese medicine would be blessed!
