SUMMARY:NYU Shanghai Lecture: Fluid Fire
DESCRIPTION:Medical treatises of the Qing dynasty (1644-1911) make con
 stant reference to phlegm (tan 痰) as both cause and consequence of 
 disease. Phlegm figures as a central\, indispensable concept in the Ch
 inese imagination of the body and its pathologies. Curiously\, however
 \, the Huangdi neijing 黃帝內經 (first cent. B.C.)\, the earlie
 st and foundational classic of Chinese medicine\, does not mention it 
 at all. The rise to prominence of the discourse of phlegm represents o
 ne of the most important changes in Chinese medical theory after the c
 lassical period. What does this transformation mean\, and how did it o
 ccur?
