Brief introduction of royal medical hospital
Tai Hospital was written by Xu Guozhen, a famous court doctor in Yuan Dynasty. This book is based on the prescriptions prescribed by the imperial doctors in the Song, Jin and Yuan Dynasties, and collates and corrects the omissions. Finalized in four years (1267). The book * * *1/volume contains more than 1000 songs, covering internal and external, women and children, facial features, health, beauty and other aspects. In the 22nd year of Zhiyuan (1285), Xu Guozhen was ordered by Yuan Shizu to call doctors from all over the country to preside over the revision of Materia Medica together with Hanlin and Sariman. Tianyi Luo, a famous doctor in Yuan Dynasty, and other 20 people participated in the revision. The addition and revision of Materia Medica lasted nearly four years, and it was completed in September of the 25th year of Zhiyuan (1288). It is the only official edition of materia medica in Yuan Dynasty, but it has been lost. Because most of the books in the collection are secret recipes of the court during the Song, Jin and Yuan Dynasties, they can fully reflect the experience of the court in drug use at that time. Many prescriptions are not found in general prescriptions, which can be described as a veritable secret recipe of the court. This book is now in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Ancient Books Publishing House (1983).
