Features: The Gujin Tushu Jicheng (Comprehensive Library of the Past and Present) was compiled by Chen Menglei and others during the Kangxi era of the Qing Dynasty. It is the largest and most extensive ancient encyclopedic work remaining in China. The content related to medicine and public health within it is also extremely broad. The author of this book has collected and organized the scattered medical and public health materials from outside the Medical Department of the entire work, totaling 7 categories and 16 sections, and has compiled and annotated them. This work can not only supplement the shortcomings of Complete Record of Medicine, but also combine with it to form a complete set. It will play an important academic role in medical foundations, medical history and literature, eugenics, and health preservation and disease prevention. At the same time, it can also address the issues of the original Gujin Tushu Jicheng being difficult to obtain and access.
