Abstract
There are 18 original texts of Sun Simiao's literature quoted in the book of Bencao Tujing (, Illustration Classics for Materia Medica) edited by Su Song in the Northern Song Dynasty, involving Qianjin Yao Fang (, Invaluable Prescriptions), Qianjin Yi Fang (, Supplement to Invaluable Prescriptions) and Qianjin Yueling () . They are the versions of the Northern Song Dynasty or earlier versions, which have high collation value and collection value. The Qianjin Yao Fang quoted in the book of Bencao Tujing has different versions with the current version of Qianjin Yao Fang and the ancient version of Sun Zhenren Qianjin Fang (, Immortal Sun's Invaluable Prescriptions) . Some of these varieties are caused by Su Song's collation, while others are caused by different versions. According to the former, the latter can be corrected and supplemented. Qianjin Yi Fang quoted in Bencao Tujing is earlier than the edition in Dade period of Yuan Dynasty. According to the former, the latter can be corrected. The book of Qianjin Yueling edited by Sun Simiao has been lost. Part of the contents of the book are included in Euibangyoochui (, Classified Assemblage of Medical Prescriptions) published in Korea. Some scholars have compiled and copied the book accordingly. The texts of Qianjin Yueling quoted in the book of Bencao Tujing can be used to correct the mistakes of the lost edition of Qianjin Yueling and make up for its incompleteness.
