This book is also known as Waike Baojian, written by Chen Zi-ming (Liangfu) of the Song Dynasty, and was published around the fourth year of Jingding (1263). It is a representative surgical work of the Song Dynasty. Chen came from a family of three generations of physicians with rich clinical experience. He once served as a medical professor at the Mingdao Academy in Jiankang Prefecture. He extensively collected "effective prescriptions and theories" from ancient and modern medical practitioners and combined them with his personal experience to compile Waike Jingyao in 3 volumes. This book was earlier seen in the Wenyuan Ge Bibliography of the Ming Dynasty. The versions passed down to the world include the Xiong Zong-li collated version and the Xue Ji annotated version.

Chen's book fully expresses his insights. While discussing the treatment of Yongju, he emphasized the importance of etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and prognosis, opposing the rigid adherence to the theory of internal heat toxin invasion and the use of cold and cooling drugs for treatment. He stressed the importance of distinguishing between good and evil forms of evidence, the principles of regulating and replenishing qi and blood, and the necessity of moxibustion in treating Yongju. The entire book consists of fifty-five discussions and over seventy selected prescriptions, all of which are of reference value. However, the book has been less circulated, and most of the currently circulated versions are the Xue Ji annotated version. Xue Ji, while annotating this book, also added a volume of his personal treatment experiences, making it a total of 4 volumes.
