Features: The discussion on "Qi Yi" in Liu Wansu's Bao Ming Ji is based on a specialized study of relevant theories from the Su Wen. Liu's concept of "the suitability of the five organs, the running numbers of the five elements, and the governance and transformation of the six Qi" is elaborated, as well as the description of the Qi of Dan Tian, Huang Tian, Cang Tian, Su Tian, and Xuan Tian. Especially noteworthy is the explanation of the "Qi Yi" of folk diseases (referring to the treatment methods and formulas prescribed by physicians that are suitable for the pathological conditions of the six Qi). These discussions provide readers with a clearer understanding of Liu's theory. Su Wen Bing Ji Qi Yi Bao Ming Ji (hereinafter referred to as Bao Ming Ji) is a systematic summary of Liu Hejian's lifelong theories and medical experiences, divided into 32 chapters, including 9 medical theories and 23 medical formulas, totaling 236 formulas. The book is profound in medical theory, extensive in content, and rich in formulas, making it a comprehensive work of the Hejian school of thought.
