张在其

Zhang Zaiqi: publicly available information is limited; all that is known is that the author has three works to date—A Comprehensive Illustrated Guide to Dong Medicines of China, Disasters and First Aid, and Dong Pharmacology of China—commonly classified under medicine and health. Judging from the titles and subjects, the writing centers on two directions: ethnic medicine and emergency medicine. On one hand, it systematically organizes Dong medicinal resources, presenting drug forms through illustrations and bearing the clear character of a reference compilation and field record; on the other, it addresses first-aid handling in disaster situations, aimed at practical use and public education. These two subjects seem to belong to the traditional and the modern respectively, yet they share the same concern: how to protect life and health when resources are limited or conditions are urgent. The style is pragmatic, focusing on presenting medicinal and rescue knowledge itself rather than elaborating personal views. On the available evidence, these works offer a useful reference for preserving and spreading knowledge of Dong medicine, and open a window for general readers to learn basic first-aid knowledge.
