Features: This series is compiled based on an in-depth investigation by scholars and friends from China and Japan into the existing Chinese scattered or rare ancient medical books in Japan. From the dozens of ancient books that have been successively copied back to the country in recent years, 15 were selected. The content covers pulse diagnosis, herbal medicine, acupuncture, Shanghan (Treatise on Cold Damage), military field surgery, and various clinical disciplines, demonstrating strong practicality. The books included have been lost in China for hundreds of years and are rare ancient medical books from the Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties. Many of them are unique copies, possessing high academic and bibliographic value. After each book, there are "prefaces" written by scholars from China and Japan, which can serve as references for readers. This series is not only valuable for medical, educational, and research personnel in traditional Chinese medicine but also holds significant collection value.
