About Notes on the NeijingWe translate with care,
We translate with care,
not certainty.
Notes on the Neijing explores Chinese seasonal living through the Huangdi Neijing, the four seasons, and the twenty-four solar terms. We connect classical principles with sleep, measured movement, food, and care of the spirit for people around the world. Each practical guide identifies its source and explains how a modern example relates to it.

Material before miracle
We make reading objects with legible contents, sources, and limits—paper, pictures, and a clear question.
A useful limit
There is no
“ancient secret” here.
There are texts, translations, objects, questions and the responsibility to say when an idea belongs to history rather than evidence. That is the work we want the site to make visible.
