Features:
1. Research on the generation system. Previous literature research and the compilation of series mostly approached it vertically, spanning dynasties, and selecting some better manuscripts to compile. This collection, however, emphasizes horizontal research, conducting a comprehensive survey and systematic organization of modern Chinese medical academic works, then compiling them into a volume. This not only provides a clear overview of modern Chinese medical academia but also highlights the academic characteristics and achievements of that period.
2. The selected manuscripts are of superior quality. Due to the comprehensive and systematic of materials and a broad range of manuscript selection, all the included works are representative works of famous modern Chinese medical practitioners, with high academic value, distinct features, and strong practicality. For example, Shen Zuming's Interpretation of the Suwen and Ye Lin's Ques on the Golden Cabinet Essentials are representative works of renowned practitioners, highly valued academically.
3. Excellent version selection. The base texts of all included manuscripts are the best versions, including original editions, manuscripts, rare copies, and meticulously written copies. For instance, Zhang Qi's Interpretation of the Suwen uses the Wanlin Book House Series from the 10th year of the Daoguang era as the base text and is collated against the original manuscript. Meanwhile, in selecting collating texts and reference texts, attention is also paid to the chronological order and quality of the versions, prioritizing those that are relatively earlier in time and of superior quality.
4. Strong disciplinary characteristics. The selected manuscripts place great emphasis on disciplinary characteristics, particularly on the exploration, organization, and advancement of minor and specialized fields. For example, Tang Zonghai's On Blood Disorders, Zhang Shanlei's On Apoplexy, Zhao Shuping's On Liver Diseases, Chen Genru's Essentials of Laryngeal Disorders, Liang Xizheng's Comprehensive Treatise on Scrofula, and Jiang Kaoqing's Jiang Family's Science of Traumatology all exhibit distinct academic insights and unique experiences, with strong features.
5. Reasonable collation and annotations. All selected manuscripts are meticulously collated, with brief annotations, following the General Principles for Collating and Annotating Chinese Medical Classics as the standard. "Four collations" are comprehensively applied to supplement omissions, correct errors. Nearly 10,000 collation and annotation entries and over 1,000 corrections have been made, thereby improving the quality of the original manuscripts. This book includes works such as Lecture Notes on Surgery, Extraordinary Formulas in Surgery, and Outline of Chinese Surgery. It emphasizes horizontal research on previous literature, conducting a comprehensive survey and systematic organization of modern Chinese medical works, then compiling them into a volume, thus providing a clear overview of modern Chinese medical academia.
