Summary

The Complete Compendium of Ancient and Modern Medicine (Gujin Yitong Daquan), also known as the Yitong Daquan, is a comprehensive hundred-volume medical encyclopedia compiled by Xu Chunfu, a Xin'an physician of the Ming dynasty, and completed in the thirty-fifth year of the Jiajing reign (1556). The work gathers and classifies medical materials from medical texts and from the classics, histories, philosophical works, and belles-lettres produced before the mid-Ming: the first seven volumes present biographies of physicians through the ages, the Essentials of the Inner Canon, the Wing to Medical Comprehensive Studies, pulse diagnosis according to the Inner Canon, five phases and seasonal qi, and channels, points, and acupuncture; volumes eight through ninety-two cover the diagnosis and treatment of clinical specialties, addressing more than four hundred diseases and conditions across internal medicine, cold damage, external medicine, bone injury, the five sense organs, gynecology, pediatrics, and geriatric health care, each condition typically listing its pathogenesis, pulse signs, therapeutic methods, and formulas and drugs, along with simple formulas, moxibustion, and daoyin exercises; from volume ninety-three onward are collected tested secret formulas, essentials of materia medica, famine-relief herbs, methods of preparation, general formulas, and a final record on nurturing life. This volume is the second of the punctuated and collated edition in the People's Medical Publishing House's Collected Works on the Collation of Ancient Chinese Medical Texts, chiefly collated by Cui Zhongping and Wang Yaoting. Continuing from the first volume, it covers the content from the Wind-Stroke section in volume eight through the Final Record on Nurturing Life in volume one hundred, and is an important source for the study of Chinese medical scholarship and clinical practice before the Ming dynasty.

Editor's review

《古今医统大全》是明代新安医家徐春甫编成的百卷医学全书，兼收《内经》要旨、脉候运气、针灸经穴、各科证治、本草与养生，被列入中医「十大医学全书」，也是其中成书最早的一部。人民卫生出版社「中医古籍整理丛书」本由崔仲平、王耀廷主校，为通行的现代点校本，上下两册合璧方成完帙。下册从卷八中风门起，依次收录伤寒、暑湿燥火、内科杂病、五官、外科、妇科、儿科与养生诸门，采用每病先列病机、脉候，再列治法方药的体例，查阅方便，方证相贯。对于做方剂溯源、病证沿革考证的读者，可依据本书的卷门结构定向检索，所载前代方论亦可与《普济方》《景岳全书》等互校。需提醒的是，本书资料性强而系统性不如专科著作，且为繁体排印、未附白话译解，初学者应配合现代教材或校注本对读。

About the author

徐春甫 Author

Xu Chunfu was a physician of the Ming dynasty, whose name appears in records of traditional Chinese medicine. Information about his life is limited: his birth and death years, native place, and lineage of teachers are all unclear in publicly available sources, making it difficult to describe his medical career or scholarly background in detail. The main basis for understanding his medical work is the extant Medical Guide Shortcut in Six Books (Yixue zhinan jiejing liushu), attributed to him. Judging from its title and classification, the book is an introductory medical guide intended for beginning practitioners and clinical reference. It emphasizes practical and essential methods and is written concisely so that readers can look up prescriptions by illness and follow a clear path into the subject, reflecting the Ming-era tendency of popular medical works to value practicality and accessibility for beginners. Because the original book circulated narrowly and scholarly research on it is limited, Xu Chunfu's medical thought and historical influence await further study; readers should examine the original text together with relevant sources in medical history rather than infer biographical details from the title alone.
