title: [Investigation of editions of Wenrebing Zhinan Ji (Collection of Guide for Warm Heat Disease)].
abstract: Wenrebing Zhinan Ji (Collection of Guide for Warm Heat Disease) was not a lengthy work, but it had quite a few influences among the medical works of warm heat disease. Regarding the evolvement of the edition and contents of the book, relative records in some authoritative bibliographic tool references had mistakes, errors and defects. The records of the author were complicated and confusing. There were five versions of the book recorded in the Quanguo Zhongyi Tushu Lianhe Mulu (Nationwide Union Catalog of Books of Traditional Chinese Medicine). The study found that there are other versions to be added here, including Wenre Zuiyan (Verbosity of Warm Heat Disease) supplemented to Sanjia Yian Heke (United Collection of Medical Cases of Three Physicians) and Wenre Jingwei (Longitude and Latitude of Warm Heat Diseases) by Wang Mengying, with the xylographic version of Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty excluded. Each version possesses its own special features and values.
