Canonical Salon, Part Four, is comprised of sessions 19 through 24 and work on the following topics: Jun Cheng Zuo Shi Formula Analysis with 6 ingredients to 23 ingredients
Dr. Versluys presents on a selection of chapters from the Jade Envelope in the Golden Cabinet or Jingui Yuhan Jing. This is a classic that displays content from both the Song dynasty Shanghan Lun as well as the Jingui Yaolue, and is compiled by Wang Shuhe in the Jin dynasty, based on the scrolls he retrieved. Scrolls five and six include important chapters on treatment indication and contra-indication not included in the standard Shanghan Lun and Jingui Yaolue. These chapters will elucidate guidelines on when the treatment methods of sweating, purging, emitting, warming, fire treatment, moxa, needling, and water treatment, are indicated or contra-indicated. And while in the regular Shanghan Lun, some clauses indeed address the same subject matter; the scope and structure of these important chapters exceed anything seen elsewhere.

The course is devoted to presentation and commentary on case studies by Dr. Tian Heming. Known by everybody in our Lineage, Dr. Tian, aka Tian Bawei, the patriarch of our movement, was a prolific clinician often seeing upwards of 300 patients per day. Not many records of these case studies have been preserved to this day except for the handwritten records the Zeng family took while studying with Dr. Tian. The case studies presented hail from the handwritten records, translated by Dr. Versluys. This was the first time ever that original Dr. Tian case studies were presented in seminar form.

The popular practice of Qingtan 清談 was originated after the Han dynasty and involved a forum for lively discussion on philosophy and metaphysics in group setting. This is not too dissimilar from the Western tradition of the Salon, which is often defined as a ‘gathering of people, presided over by an inspiring host which allowed participants the opportunity to amuse one another while increasing their knowledge through conversation and debate’. These gatherings were popular in Renaissance Europe. And a similar format was popular in late 19th and early 20th century Chengdu. Dr. Tian Heming often attended and participated in such salons organized by his Shanghan peer Lu Zhuzhi 盧鑄之. These meetings were attended by many great Shanghan masters of the time. It is thus with great pleasure that we announce the start of ICEAM’s very own Canonical Salon with Dr. Arnaud Versluys. The Salon will be an ongoing series of webinars every five or so weeks. Each session will be three hours and cover an ongoing exploration of fundamental topics too deep and complex to properly investigate during regular seminars. For the initial two years, the topic has been set to Canonical Formula Science. Some of the topics Dr. Versluys […]
After successful completion of the basic Canonical Chinese Medicine training, and certification as a Diplomate in Canonical Chinese Medicine, one becomes eligible to start to study the actual clauses of the Han dynasty Treatise on Cold Damage, or Shanghan Lun. The more than eighteen century old Shanghan Lun is some of the hardest subject matter one can attempt to research in the whole of Chinese medicine. This can only be commenced after a thorough grasp of the basic concepts of the training. As such, this seminar is only available to Diplomates. During this seminar, Dr. Arnaud Versluys will read the whole Shanghan Lun line by line, and share commentary and annotation by transmitting the knowledge and understanding of the Tian lineage seniors. ICEAM has also been fortunate to receive the late Dr. Zheng Guanglu’s Shanghan Lun study notes, which are now integrated into the course as commentary on the lines. This seminar is the integral video recording of the Shanghan Lun Lines Retreat offered in Piestany, Slovakia in June 2017. This seminar comprises of all the lines of the Taiyang chapter from line 1 to line 178. 27 CREDITS (NCCAOM, CALIFORNIA)
This one-day course is the companion-seminar to the original Zeng case study course presented in 2014. In this course, Dr. Versluys presents some of Dr. Zeng Rongxiu’s early case studies from the 1970’s. Most of the Dr. Zeng case studies that we know today are produced during his later years of clinical practice, most notably the late 1990’s to early 2000’s. But the early case studies of the 1970’s are all records of Dr. Zeng’s clinical practice during the time when he was still actively studying with Dr. Tian. As such, these case studies are sometimes indistinguishable from Tian cases, and exude a rare freshness less obvious in Dr. Zeng’s later cases. From studying these cases, we can see not just Dr. Zeng’s style, but also clearly see Dr. Tian’s undeniable style of clinical practice. Dr. Zeng’s book of case studies published in China mostly documents case studies from his later years and does not carry many of the 1970’s case studies. This makes this seminar offering extra unique! Presenter: Arnaud Versluys, PhD, MD (China), Lac NCCAOM 7 credits (CH)
