Its author  Zhang Zhong Jing  has been named the \"Chinese Hippocrates\" to highlight the depth and breadth of his contribution to traditional Chinese drug therapy. This edition features the Chinese text  Pinyin transliteration  and an English translation of the entire Song Dynasty text  the content and textual order most used in Asia. Just as in Chinese language editions  it is fully supplemented with notes and commentaries. The notes describe the clinical symptoms Zhang Zhong Jing associated with the Chinese terms. For example  modern interpretations of a \"moderate\" pulse often refer to the speed of its beats. The same term  when used in the Shang Han Lun  refers to a pulse that is loose  soft  and harmonious. Such notes provide practitioners with the clinical observations necessary to properly apply the information. The commentaries further enhance the texts clinical utility by explaining the theoretical and practical foundations behind the lines of text. Because entire bodies of theory and practice can be associated with the terms and expressions used in cannonical works like the Shang Han Lun  commentaries have become a standard means of knowledge acquisition for Asian students. The commentaries in this edition serve exactly the same purpose  greatly enhancing its utility. The introductory matter explains the background of the text  the conceptual structure of its contents  and the problems of exegesis.
