Features: To promote the traditional Chinese medicine of our country and meet the needs of a broad range of TCM practitioners and enthusiasts, a group of TCM experts were organized to rigorously select and compile multiple versions, publishing the "Series of Classic Medical Masterpieces." The principles of annotation are as follows:
1. Modern punctuation methods are adopted to restructure the original text into paragraphs.
2. Obvious typographical errors or misspellings in the base text are corrected. Variant characters, archaic characters, homophonic characters, and colloquial variants are simplified while preserving the original book's integrity.
3. Prescriptions in the original text are reorganized in the modern format: [Indications], [Formula], [Usage], [Explanation]. The directional terms "left, right" in the original text are uniformly replaced with "upper, lower."
4. To maintain the original appearance of the base text, no changes are made to the dosage of medicinal ingredients. For heavily dosed toxic herbs, refer to modern dosages. Certain banned animal-derived ingredients such as rhino horn, tiger bone, and musk should be replaced with modern alternatives.
5. Where discrepancies exist between various base texts and annotations, as multiple base texts were referenced, the annotations do not provide explanations.
