This book consists of one volume, written by Wang Hao-gu of the Yuan Dynasty. According to the author's postscript, the book underwent continuous additions and revisions, with three different manuscript versions circulating, each varying in content. The final revised version was completed in 1236. The earliest extant printed edition is the Jisheng Bacui version by Du Sijing of the Yuan Dynasty, though it contains less content. In 1879, Lu Xinyuan included the final revised version in the Shiwan Juanlou Congshu series, thereby preserving the complete text of the book. The main extant versions of Yinzheng Lueli include: the Jisheng Bacui version, the Shiwan Juanlou Congshu version, the Sansan Yishu version, the Zhongguo Yixue Daquan version, the Congshu Jicheng version, a 1956 lead-printed edition by the Commercial Press, and a 1985 lead-printed and punctuated edition by Jiangsu Science and Technology Publishing House.

Yinzheng Lueli is a specialized work on the study of cold-damage disease (yin syndrome). The book begins with the "Qibo Yin-Yang Pulse Examples"; it then discusses the "Three Yin Examples of Internal Injury" by the elder Jiegu and the author himself. Following this, it cites the theories of cold-damage disease masters such as Yi Yin, Bian Que, Zhang Zhong-jing, Zhu Gong, Xu Shu-wei, and Han Zhi-he on the three yin syndromes of cold-damage disease, interspersed with Wang's annotations and appended prescriptions. The book concludes with over 20 entries of the author's "General Discussion on Yin Syndrome Examples" and an appendix titled "Hai Zang's Medical Records," which documents eight of Wang's medical cases.
