[Textual research on personnels revising Xin xiu ben cao (newly Revised Herbology)].
The problem is investigated by studying annals of Tang - Song period and relevant materials. It is claimed that at the time when Sujing's report was submitted in the second year of Xianqing reign, the officials surveilling and revising the text include in order: ZHANG SUN Wuji, LI Ji, YU Zhining etc, together with SU Jing, the total number being 23. Changes appeared in this number at the time when the work was finished in the fourth year of Xianqing reign. Though, by then, the number involved was still 23, yet the order of LI Ji and ZHANG SUN Wuji was reversed, and Xin Mao jiang took the place of YU Zhining. In addition, the birth time of SU Jing was investigated to be 595 - 600.
