[A study of the Chinese books quoted in "Chotei Kaitai-schinsho", "Yi Xue Yuan Shi" and "Wu Li Xiao Shi"].
Gentaku Otsuki quoted from "Yi Xue Yuan Shi" and "Wu Li Xiao Shi" when revising "Kaitaishinsho". He quoted from them in three ways; quoting the original text, quoting them to annotate the difficult terms, and quoting them to correct errors in the original text. When Western medicine was first introduced to Japan, the interpretation and the explanation of Chinese classics was utilized to translate Dutch medical books. The study has clarified for the first time that "Yi Xue Yuan Shi" and "Wu Li Xia Shi" contributed greatly to the accomplishment of "Chotei Kaitai-shinsho" and to the importation of Western medicine into Japan.
