Most of them, including the present work, were new reprints of Ming editions, as attested by the imprint on the tobira bearing the date Wanli 16 (1588), which reads: 萬曆戊子孟春寶命堂梓. .
Contents: Commentary on the Lingshu 靈樞, one of the earliest Chinese medical treatises, dealing primarily with internal medicine and acupuncture.
