Dr Zhang Zhongjing, studied previous TCM classical literature, and collected many effective herbal prescriptions elsewhere, and finally wrote his masterpiece Shanghan Zabing Lun. Unfortunately, shortly after being published, his book was lost during wartime. Dr. Zhang's masterpieces were collected by later generations, re-arranged by Dr. Wang Shuhe in the Jin Dynasty and then separated by the Bureau for Collation of Medical Books of the Song Dynasty (1065). As a result, his book was divided form one book into 2 books, one titled Shanghan Lun "Treatise on Febrile Diseases Caused by Cold"; the other, Jin Kui Yao Lue "Synopsis of Prescriptions of the Golden Chamber".Shanghan Lun is the first classical book in TCM which deals with mechanism, therapeutic principles and methods, prescriptions and herbs. Particularly, therapeutic principles and methods are plentiful in Shanghan Lun which includes eight-therapeutic methods such as diaphoresis, emetic method, harmonizing, purgative therapy, heat clearing, warming method, tonifying therapy, and resolving therapy; as well as external therapy, acupuncture, moxibustion, combination of herbal prescription and acupuncture, etc.

The Shang Han Lun has been a primary treatment theory and practice source for nearly two millenia. 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 text's 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. The appendices are designed to assist those studying Chinese and the glossary and the full Pinyin-English index make this an easily accessed reference.

Two basic therapies that exist in the modern world to treat disease are Chinese medicine and modern Western medicine. The former practices whole body treatment while the latter focuses on localized diagnosis and treatment. The Shang Han Lun (Treatise on Febrile Disease), written by Chang Chung-Ching in the early part of the third century, comprises a significant part of Chinese medical theory and practice. Unlike The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine, an earlier classic devoted to theory only, the Shang Han Lun illuminates the practical application of Chinese herbal formulas. This book marks the first English publication of the classic.
