After the publication of Treatise on Febrile Diseases, due to the war and other reasons, the book quickly spread around the world. In the Northern Song Dynasty, Wang Zhu, a scholar of Hanlin, found a simplified jade letter in Synopsis of the Golden Chamber, which was divided into three volumes: upper, middle and lower, and was actually an abridged version of Treatise on Febrile Diseases.
In the Northern Song Dynasty, when the Correction Medical Books Bureau sorted out the synopsis of the Golden Chamber, according to this book, one volume of typhoid fever was deleted, and the middle and lower volumes of miscellaneous diseases and gynecological diseases were retained. The second volume of Prescription Science is divided into three volumes: upper, middle and lower. Since then, its words have been basically stereotyped, and thus various versions have evolved.
The first edition of Synopsis of the Golden Chamber, which was collated by the Northern Song Dynasty Medical Books Bureau, was published in three years (1066), but the original edition was lost. There was a edition of Papen in the Southern Song Dynasty, which was long lost. However, there is an anonymous copy of Shu Pa Ben in Ming Dynasty, which was collected in the Japanese Yuxiu Hall and is now in the Library of China Academy of Sciences.
In the Yuan Dynasty, according to the manuscript of the Southern Song Dynasty, Peking University Library had a book entitled synopsis of the Golden Chamber, with the preface of Deng Zhen and the preface of Zhiyuan Chen Geng (1340), which was the earliest extant edition of synopsis of the Golden Chamber. In the twenty-seventh year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1599), when Zhao published Zhong Jing Quan Shu (called Zhao Ben), he reprinted synopsis of the Golden Chamber according to Deng Zhen's edition, which is an earlier version of synopsis of the Golden Chamber and is recognized as a masterpiece by domestic scholars.
During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty (about 1522 ~ 1566), Yu Qiaoshi published the synopsis of the golden chamber (named Yu), and the first printed edition of the four series of synopsis of the golden chamber compiled by the Commercial Press in 1929 was copied according to Yu Ben. In the twenty-ninth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (160 1), Wu Mianxue published The Complete Book of Ancient and Modern Medical System and Zhengmai, and published it in The Jade Letter of the Golden Chamber (called the version of Medical System and Zhengmai). The second printing of the four-part series (i.e. 1936 print edition) was changed to five, instead of Yuqiao edition.
