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 the early Republic of China. There are many things worth us being proud of. The "Yongjia Medical School" of the Southern Song Dynasty, centered around the compilation, revision, correction, and commentary of the Yi Jian Fang, carried out fervent academic research and debate. Its academic achievements were enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Hejian, Yishui schools, jointly creating a vibrant atmosphere of medical school rivalry and academic prosperity during the Song, Jin, and Yuan dynasties, and earning a place in the history of Chinese medicine. The splendid medical culture of modern Wenzhou, represented by institutions like Liji Hospital and Lijia School, was even more dazzling, 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, traces their origins, and then selects the earliest, most complete, and most meticulously edited versions as the working basis. The book makes extensive reference to the previous scholars' collation results and fully absorbs their reasonable opinions.
