Jing Shen is the title of the seventh chapter of the Huainanzi, a major Daoist text of the early Chinese Han dynasty.
\nUntil recently it has remained relatively unrecognized and only partially translated. Long dismissed as merely a reiteration of earlier writings, its importance as a work in its own right and its role in Chinese intellectual history is only now beginning to be appreciated.
\nChapter 7, Jing Shen – vital or embodied spirit \u0096 examines the origins of life and the integral place of human beings within the cosmos.
\nAs a contemporary text to the Huangdi Neijing (Yellow Emperor\u0092s Inner Classic), it is of interest to practitioners of Chinese medicine as well as the more general reader.
