Zhang Xichuan (English spelling)

Japanese: 張錫純 - ちょうしゃくじゅん（英語表記）Zhāng Xī chún

1860‐1933
A Chinese clinical physician. His courtesy name was Shoufu, and he was from Yanshan (Hebei Province). He was especially famous in the northeast and Tianjin areas. He wrote the Lu of the Visit to the West of Medicine. This book follows the tradition of formula books, dividing the disease into yin deficiency, fatigue, heat, asthma, and lung diseases, and lists treatment prescriptions for each. Each prescription is accompanied by an explanation based on Chinese medical theory, and some also include Western medical theory and treatment. The prescriptions are generally simple, but they were based on his own experience, and were welcomed by traditional physicians in general. After his death, his son and disciples added unpublished sections on drugs, medical theory, etc., and the more recent publication was revised in 1972 by the Hebei New Medical University Lu of the Visit to the West of Medicine Revision Group, which added posthumous manuscripts and deleted some previously published sections, so there are some differences from the version he published himself.

1860‐1933
中国の臨床医家。字は寿甫，塩山(河北省)の人。東北，天津地区でことに有名であった。《医学衷中参西録》を著した。この書は方書の伝統に従って陰虚労熱，喘息，肺病などに分けて，それぞれの治療処方を挙げ，各処方ごとに中国医学理論に基づく説明を付け，さらに西洋医学の理論と療法をも付記しているものもある。処方は概して簡単な構成であるが，自身が経験したものであり，一般の伝統医家に歓迎された。この書には彼の死後，その子と門弟によって未刊であった薬物，医論などの部分が追加され，さらに近年刊行されたものは1972年に，河北新医大学《医学衷中参西録》修訂小組が遺稿の追加と既刊部分の一部削除を含めた整理作業を行ったもののため，彼自身が刊行したものとは違った部分がある。
