7. Reference Guide to Classical Book Titles
Other Indices:
Mention should be made of the series of volumes in the 歷 代 中 醫 名 著 文
庫, published by 華 夏 出 版 社 in Beijing, which began publishing circa
1995. This project, organized by Ren Yingqiu, Ma Jixingg, and others,
provides first-rate critical eds. of ancient texts (unfortunately in
simplified chars.), with detailed critical notes and substantial,
usually innovative, scholarly essays on the text. Some are detailed
volume-length treatments
of individual texts; so far there is the 醫 心 方 and 證 類 本 草. Other
volumes are collections
of texts of a given type. The one on acupuncture, entitled 針 灸 名 著 集 成,
contains about a dozen important works, some extremely rare, and all in
superior critical editions. For instance, the illustrations in two
well-known works, 銅 人 俞 穴 針 灸 圖 經 (1026) and 針 灸 大 成 (1601) are far
superior to those previously published; both, for instance, show
skeletons as part of acupuncture figures.
