雷丰

Lei Feng is an author in traditional Chinese medical literature about whom limited public information is available. Five works are currently known to be extant, represented by Treatise on Seasonal Diseases (Shi Bing Lun) and Secret Transmission of Moxibustion Methods (Jiu Fa Mi Zhuan). Treatise on Seasonal Diseases is a specialized work on externally contracted seasonal illnesses, discussing the pattern identification and treatment of warm and epidemic diseases across the four seasons in a clear and practical manner. Secret Transmission of Moxibustion Methods focuses specifically on moxibustion, gathering relevant acupoints and clinical experience in applying moxa, reflecting the author's attention to external treatments such as acupuncture and moxibustion. One work addresses seasonal diseases, the other moxibustion; both are oriented toward clinical practicality and written in plain language, emphasizing the correspondence between formulas and patterns as well as operational essentials, making them easy for physicians to consult in practice. Because public information on his birth and death dates, native place, teachers, and medical career is limited, biographical details are difficult to verify. The extant works nevertheless show that Lei Feng wrote for actual diagnosis and treatment, focusing on organizing and transmitting knowledge of common seasonal diseases and moxibustion techniques, and they retain some reference value for the transmission of later clinical literature in traditional Chinese medicine.
