Wanmizhai Encyclopedia of Medicine is of great reference value to clinical medicine, and it has subheadings of 108 and 108 volumes, such as Wan's Pediatrics, Gynecology Essentials and Gynecology Exercises. His monograph "Four Essentials of Health Care" has unique views on health care, disease prevention, prenatal and postnatal care and so on. His health theory of "lack of desire, cautious independence, timely treatment of diseases" is not only hundreds of years earlier than the health concept of "psychological balance, balanced nutrition, proper exercise, quitting smoking and limiting alcohol" advocated by the World Health Organization, but also has a more comprehensive, advanced and scientific connotation.
