Title explanation
Sun Simiao believes that the value of life is more valuable than 1000 yuan, and a prescription can save people from danger, and the value is even higher than this. Therefore, he used "Qian Jin Fang" as the book title, referred to as "Qian Jin Fang", a total of 30 volumes. Song Renzong ordered Gao Baoheng and Lin Yi to make corrections and included them in the second volume of Forbidden Classics. Sun Simiao in the Tang Dynasty was written in the third year of Yonghui (652).
The author regards human life as more important than his daughter, so he takes "a daughter" as the title of the book. It was because there were too many materia medica departments of prescription science at that time that it was not easy to make a hasty investigation. It is written by drawing lessons from various classics, deleting complexity and simplifying, and combining personal experience.
