In the 11th year of the Kansei era in Japan, the Japanese scholar Chida Kyo (Shikei) compared his manuscript copy with the Yuan Dynasty printed edition held by Ogishi Gen, and supplemented it with selections from Yifang Leiju by Wang Qiu. The book is organized into thirty-one categories, focusing on treatment formulas for various diseases. It includes over 1,000 prescriptions, covering formulas and simple remedies for diseases in men, women, and children. Most of these are based on the author's observations or are effective prescriptions recorded in relevant literature. A manuscript copy is currently held in the National Library of China in Beijing.
