The Ode of a Hundred Diseases1 of the Grand Compendium of Acupuncture-Moxibustion2 (from Zhēn Jiǔ Jù Yīng)3 translated from chinese by Lorraine Wilcox L.Ac.
- An ode (賦 fù) is a work of rhymed prose or poetic prose. The ancient Chinese coded the information into poetry and rhythmic prose to make it easier to remember. This ode generally does not rhyme and changes rhythm constantly. However, in order to make it concise and rhythmic, the original author added or omitted words. These words of "filling" and "connection" have little significance and are often difficult to translate. As a result, my translation is as precise as possible regarding the technical terms (indications and points), but may have modified the non-technical words to make French easier to read.
- 《針灸 大成》 The Grand Compendium of Acupuncture-Moxibustion – Zhēn Jiǔ Dà Chéng, by Yáng Jìzhōu, published in 1601 (Míng). This text is taken from volume 2.
- 《針灸 聚 英》 Compilation of prominent acupuncturists, the Zhēn Jiǔ Jù Yīng, from 武 Gāo Wǔ, was published in 1529 (Míng). This ode was recorded for the first time in volume 4 of Jù Yīng, which indicates that the author is unknown. A number of apparent typographical errors in the text of Zhēn Jiǔ Dà Chéng have been corrected based on the text of Zhēn Jiǔ Jù Yīng.
