Features: The prosperity of Wenzhou medicine has two shining periods: one is the Southern Song Dynasty, and the other is the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, both of which hold many things worth us being proud of. The Southern Song Dynasty's "Yongjia Medical School" engaged in fervent academic research and debate centered around compiling, revising, correcting, and commenting on the Yi Jian Fang, achieving academic accomplishments that could stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the Hejian, Yishui schools, jointly creating a scene of academic competition and prosperity in medicine during the Song, Jin, and Yuan dynasties, and occupying a place in the history of Chinese medicine. The splendid medical culture of modern Wenzhou, represented by institutions like Lijie Hospital and Lijie Academy, was even more vibrant, with renowned physicians emerging one after another and outstanding works appearing frequently. This book collects various versions of the original Chinese medical texts, compares them, distinguishes their origins, and then selects the earliest versions with complete content and meticulous editing as the working manuscript. The book makes extensive reference to the collation results of predecessors, fully absorbing their reasonable opinions.
