ABSTRACT

Secrets for Auxiliary Cultivation Life: The Essential Method of Using Herbal Medicine for the Differential Treatment of the Five Zang Organs (Fu Xing Jue Wu Zang Yong Yao Fa Yao) abbr. Fu Xing Jue is regarded as a secret script authored by the Taoist hermit Tao Hong Jing. Fu Xing Jue had been sealed in Dunhuang Library Cave (Cave 17) since 1006 A.D. and was discovered in 1900 A.D. In 1974, a barefoot doctor Zhang Dachang published the hand-copy of the script. Scholars believe in that the script keeps passages from the first formulae book i.e. Classic of Decoction (Tang Ye Jing) which is cited in Treaties on Febrile Disease (Shang Han Lun) in large quantities. This paper introduced the history finding of the book and distinguished definitions of deficiency (Xu) and excess (Shi), substance (Ti), function (Yong), transformation (Hua), the subdivision of the five tastes, 25 plant herbs, and 20 formulae which regulate Ti and Yong or organs.
