Ran Xuefeng was a sixth-generation practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine and a nationally renowned TCM expert. By the 1930s, he was already celebrated in the medical community with the reputation of "Ran from the South (Xuefeng) and Zhang from the North (Xicun)." Dedicated to the study of traditional Chinese medicine, he devoted himself to the field with unwavering commitment for over seven decades, achieving profound expertise in academia. His influence on the modern TCM community remains far-reaching.
In 2003, on the 40th anniversary of his passing, his son Ran Xiande, along with his disciples, collaborated over three years to compile, meticulously correct, and carefully proofread his complete works, resulting in the publication of The Complete Medical Works of Ran Xuefeng, comprising twelve volumes: Ran’s Interpretation of the I Ching, Ran’s Essentials of the Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon, Ran’s Treatise on Cold Damage, Ran’s Herbal Medicine, Ran’s Pharmacology, Ran’s Combined Treatise on Warm Disease and Plague, and others. The collection spans approximately 3 million words and was officially published for the public. Through his life’s work, a glimpse of his contributions can be appreciated.
