Features: The Collection of Rare Modern Chinese Medicine Classics has the following characteristics:
1. Systematic research across generations. Previous literature research and the compilation of series mostly approached it vertically, spanning dynasties and selecting some of the 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. Excellent manuscript selection. Due to the comprehensive and systematic of materials and a broad range of manuscript selection, all included works are representative works of renowned modern Chinese medicine practitioners, with high academic value, distinct features, and strong practicality. For example, Shen Zuming’s Interpretation of the Suwen and Ye Lin’s Questions on the Golden Cabinet Essentials are representative works of famous practitioners, highly valued academically.
3. Superior version selection. The base texts of all included manuscripts are the best versions, including original editions, drafts, rare copies, and meticulously written manuscripts. For instance, Zhang Qi’s Explanation of the Suwen uses the Wanlin Book House Series from the 10th year of the Daoguang era as the base text and cross-references it with the original draft. Meanwhile, in selecting collating and comparative editions, attention is also given to the chronological order and quality of the versions, prioritizing those that are relatively earlier 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 Complete Works on Scrofula, and Jiang Kaoqing’s Jiang Family Science of Traumatology all present distinct academic insights and unique experiences, with strong features.
5. Reasonable collation and annotations. All included manuscripts are meticulously collated, with concise annotations, following the General Principles for Collating and Annotating Ancient Chinese Medical Classics as a standard. Methods such as "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.
