title: [Investigation on relation between Yang Shangshan and the classified compilation of Tai su (Comprehensive Notes)].
abstract: Taisu, a book complied by Yang Shangshan by imperial decree is the earliest complete commentary and classified complation of Neijing (The Yellow Emperor's Canon of Internal Medicine) now extant. Recently, some scholars argued about the classified compilation of Taisu performed by Yang Shangshan. However, by analyzing and researching into the text and commentary of Taisu, conclusion can be drawn that the classified compilation of Taisu was indeed complied by Yang Shangshan himself. First, "youben" (certain edition) and "yiben" (an edition) in the commentary are not referring to the other editions of Taisu. Second, quotations cited from Su wen (Plain Questions) and Jiu juan (Nine Volumes) in the commentary are not used to collate Taisu. Thire, analysis made on the compilation and commentary by Yang Shangshan. Fourth, analyzing "taisu jing lun (Classical Discourses of Taisu)", the commentary of Taisu Shui lun (On water in Comprehensive Notes).
