Early C20 Chinese Lithograph: 'Fan' diseases |
||
Description |
Huitu zhenjiu yixue(Illustrated Acupuncture Made Easy), by Li Shouxian, was composed in 1798 (3rd year of the Jiaqing reign period of the Qing dynasty). It comprises two volumes (juan), plus a supplementary volume containing illustrations of the 'Seventy-twofan'.The 'Seventy-twofan' are not mentioned in any other early Chinese medical sources. Judging from the accounts given in this text,fanmust be a generic term for a category of acute illness of unexplained origin. The wordfanis qualified by names of animals and insects to characterise the external manifestations of these illnesses.This illustration shows Centipede (wugong)fan. According to the caption, the symptoms of this condition are cold sweat on the forehead and head; clutching at the heart in pain; bringing up yellow fluid; and purple tendons (raised veins,jin) on either side of the backbone. This is treated by lancing the tendons with a needle and realgar (xionghuang) powder. Woodcut |
