Mingyuan Tang · Journal of Sichuan University of Science & Engineering · 2011
Through analyzing deeply Mr.Dong Enlin's article about the origin of the Classification of the Four Branches and related historical materials,this paper carries out an in-depth discussion on the Classification of the Four Branches with Mr.Dong Enlin from six aspects,i.e.the relationship between Xun Xu's Jin Zhong Jing Bu and Zheng Mo's Zhong Jing;the reason why Zhong Jing has not been recorded by all the Catalog books,etc.The paper puts forward that Xun Xu's Jin Zhong Jing Bu is a new book that inherited the books recorded by Zheng Mo's Zhong Jing and changed the Classification system of Zhong Jing.Therefore,the Classification of the Four Branches can only be derived from Xun Xu's Jin Zhong Jing Bu rather than Zheng Mo's Zhong Jing.
