This book is the earliest monograph on the processing of traditional Chinese medicine in China, including 300 kinds of drugs. Each drug first describes the characteristics of medicinal materials and the main differences from confusing varieties, which is an important document in the identification of traditional Chinese medicine. Lei Gong Zhi Lun is also the earliest pharmaceutical monograph in China.
In the three volumes of Lei Gong's Baking Theory, pharmacy is called repair, treatment and combination. The methods of cleaning, crushing, cutting, drying, making water, making fire and adding auxiliary materials are described, and the special requirements for cleaning medicinal materials are also discussed in detail, such as the separation, body and tail of Angelica sinensis. Radix Polygalae, Radix Ophiopogonis, etc. Some of them are still adopted by the pharmaceutical industry. This book has a great influence on later generations. The word "tripterygium wilfordii" is often the first monograph on pharmacy in past dynasties, which reflects people's attention and respect for tripterygium wilfordii's pharmaceutical law.
