[Yi lin cuo yao (Essentials of medical works) and its historical materials of medical exchanges between China and Korea].
Yi lin cuo yao, including 13 chapters and 128 categories, was written by Zheng Zhengxian and collated by Yang Lishou, both Korean imperial physicians in the 16 -- 17th centuries. With notation of a number of the Chinese and Korean medical books and materials in the first decade of the Li dynasty, this book is a comprehensive prescription work, very useful to clinical application. Especially with several points of the formulas from Zhong chao zhi wen fang (Sino -- Korean Prescriptions of Questioning) and zhong chao chuan xi fang (Sino -- Korean Prescriptions of Questioning) recorded in this book connected with Ren zhai zhi zhi fang lun (Renzhai's Comprehensive Prescriptions) in the Song dynasty. This book is an important record of the exchanges on medical ideas between China and Korea. However, it has nothing to do with Yi xue yi wen (Questions on Medicine) by Fu Maoguang, which records the questions and answers between Chinese and Korean officials.
