Because the ancient medical books have been circulated for a long time, there are mistakes in detachment, extension, inversion and error. In order to facilitate modern people's reading and application, we should correct it and restore its original appearance, which requires collating, that is, examining and approving the versions of ancient books, comparing the similarities and differences of chapters, verifying the authenticity of words, and verifying and correcting typos, time, disease name, drug name, dosage, inaccuracy and different opinions.
Due to the particularity of medicine, proofreading plays a greater role in collating ancient medical books. For example, there are great differences between ancient and modern weights and measures, and dosage is the most important link in medical practice. If it is published without explanation, it will be very harmful.
Some ancient Chinese medicine books published now have not been collated at all. However, the collation and annotation of ancient medical books is by no means a one-off event, which requires profound skill and scientific attitude and must be cautious.
"Dosage is the secret of traditional Chinese medicine", and the dosage of traditional Chinese medicine is closely related to the curative effect of traditional Chinese medicine. Neither you nor I can assume this. It is suggested that the prescription should be as "less taste and weight" as possible, so as to be "specialized and powerful" and accumulate your own experience.
I hope I can help you.
