Features: "Shoushi Baoyuan" was written by Gong Tingxian, the imperial physician of the Ming Dynasty's inner court. Regarding the content of the book, Gong himself stated: "I have collected and absorbed the teachings of renowned feudal lords, the treasures of the inner court, the practices of physicians across the land, and the secret transmissions of hermits outside the secular world. I have also elaborated on what previous generations had not discovered, and the book was compiled through mutual verification and examination." The entire work consists of ten volumes, covering precise knowledge related to internal organs, meridians, diagnostic methods, treatment principles, medicinal substances, prescriptions, folk remedies, qigong, first aid, and dietary therapy. It is a remarkable medical and health classic that was once kept secret by the inner court. This book primarily conducts research and elaborates on the clinical knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine during the Ming Dynasty in China.
