Jing Fang Classics Institute ENG Classical Chinese Medicine Training
in association with the International Institute of Jing Fang NJCM
(1)

Jing Fang ็ถ“ ๆ–น means classical formulas and is the name given to a set of herbal prescriptions that were composed, mostly from pivotal works like Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing (็ฅž่พฒๆœฌ่‰็ถ“) and Shang Han Za Bing Lun (ๅ‚ทๅฏ’้›œ็—…่ซ–), this was the medicine of imperial China from around the time of the Han dynasty, the Golden Age of Chinese Medicine. Shฤng Hรกn Zรก Bรฌng Lรนn (ๅ‚ทๅฏ’้›œ็—…่ซ–) Treatise on Cold Damage Diseases, was written by Zhฤng Zhรฒng Jวng (ๅผตไปฒๆ™ฏ) (c. 150-219), and after his death the book disappeared, later to be reconstructed and compiled into two other books: Shang han lun (ๅ‚ทๅฏ’่ซ–) and Jin gui yao lue fang lun (้‡‘ๅŒฑ่ฆ็•ฅๆ–น่ซ–). The theoretical and clinical concepts of Jing Fang are the oldest and most authoritative formulation of Chinese medicine, and have been proven highly effective in the clinical practice of internal medicine for nearly two millennia. Only by understanding this highly developed, clinical and scientific system, that is the foundation and core of Chinese herbal medicine, will you be able to understand later formulas and thus be able to use them knowingly in your clinical practice.

What a joy to come together again for our Level 2 Practical Seminar! ๐ŸŒฟ As we approach the end of our two-year training, it was wonderful to see how much our students have grown in confidence, understanding and clinical skills.

We explored pulse and tongue diagnosis, constitutional differentiation and abdominal palpation, and learned so much through clinical observation of many fascinating cases.

A heartfelt thank you to Tino Tino for so generously sharing his knowledge and clinical experience. His classes are always jam-packed with insights, so much to absorb, reflect on and bring into our own practice!

Thank you to our students for your dedication, curiosity and commitment throughout these two years. And to everyone who shared their health experiences with us, thank you for your openness and trust. ๐Ÿ’š

The training may be coming to a close, but your place in our Jing Fang community continues. There are always ways to keep learning and deepen your understanding with us, and weโ€™re creating some exciting new projects. More coming soon! โœจ

History carved in stoneโ€ฆ but a tradition that is still very much alive. ๐Ÿ”๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ

How did Jing Fang develop, how did Chinese medicine change during the twentieth century, and why are practitioners returning to the classics today?

Join our free webinar: The History of Jing Fang and Its Revival ๐Ÿ“œ

Weโ€™ll trace the journey from the Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing and Zhang Zhongjingโ€™s classical formulas through the standardisation of Chinese medicine under Mao, the disruption of traditional lineages during the Cultural Revolution, and the modern revival of Jing Fang.

Explore the people, texts and turning points that shaped the medicine we practise today.

Hands-on learning with an international Jing Fang community ๐ŸŒ๐ŸŒฟ

Our practical seminar brought together students from Ireland, England, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Romania, Sweden, Macedonia, the Netherlands, Italy, the Czech Republic, the United States and Estonia!

Together, we explored how to recognise different constitutions, including Chai Hu and Ban Xia, and how to differentiate between formulas.

Through practical exercises, students examined the tongue, practised abdominal and pulse palpation, and connected these findings to herb and formula selection.

Would you like to deepen your understanding of Jing Fang and enhance your clinical skills? Our next course starts in January 2027.

When did Jing Fang get so biblical? ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

Meet the three wise men of the Yangming desert: Hou Po, Zhi Shi and Da Huang. ๐Ÿช๐ŸŒฟ

Together, they show a progression from qi stagnation towards more tangible, material accumulation:

๐ŸŒฟ Hou Po moves qi and relieves fullness
๐ŸŒฟ Zhi Shi breaks up stagnation and focal distension
๐ŸŒฟ Da Huang purges heat and clears accumulation

Can you name the formulas in which Hou Po, Zhi Shi and Da Huang all appear together? ๐Ÿ‘‡

Save this for your herbal studies and share it with someone who appreciates a little Jing Fang in their life.
