This book collects works on the science of heat and cold medicine before the 1860s, ranging from relevant passages in The Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon (Neijing) and Treatise on Cold Damage and Miscellaneous Diseases (Shanghan Zabing Lun) to Ye Tianshi’s Treatise on Heat and Cold (Wenre Lun), Xue Shengbai’s On Heat and Dampness Illnesses (Re Shi Bing Pian), Chen Pingbo’s On External Heat-Induced Illnesses (Wai Gan Wenbing Pian), and Yu Shiyu’s On Epidemic Diseases (Yibing Pian). It is structured as a framework based on the writings of Xuanyi and Zhongjing, with the debates of Ye, Xue, and others serving as the threads. It is considered a comprehensive compilation of the science of heat and cold medicine during that time.

The book elaborates on various aspects such as hidden pathogen and external pathogen, the theory, the concept of heat as a disease, and the methods of heat disease diagnosis and treatment. It serves as an important reference for later generations studying the science of heat and cold medicine.
