bubble_chart Description Eight volumes. Compiled from previous works on the treatment of Zabing, incorporating personal insights, and edited into a comprehensive collection.
This book, consisting of eight volumes, was published in the 26th year of the Kangxi reign (1687), authored by Li Yong-cui (styled Xiuzhi, alias Xing'an, a native of Yin County, Zhejiang, during the era of the Seven Reincarnations).
The book is divided into eight categories: outline, internal causes, external body, upper orifices, diaphragm, abdomen and flanks, waist and knees, and lower orifices, differing from previous texts. It primarily focuses on internal medicine Zabing, with concentrated discussions. It introduces over eighty common disease patterns, each treated as a chapter, further divided into sections. It first cites Neijing, then selects from various scholars, noting the source texts, and analyzes causes, external manifestations, pattern identification, pulse manifestations, treatment methods, medication, attached syndromes, formulas, etc., all detailed yet not verbose, comprehensive yet not cumbersome. It is highly praised by clinical physicians for its practicality.
