Rixintang Edition took Chenghua year 4 (1478 AD) Edition as source text and inherited the mistakes too. Guirenzai Version took Rixintang Version as source text, thereafter, Fuchuntang version took Guirenzai Version. Errors, missing, rough collation handed down from one version to another, thus in Fuchuntang Version, mistakes jumped out on each page. In order to attract more buyers, the bookstores erase the name Chong Xiu Zheng He Jing Shi Zheng Lei Bei Yong Ben Cao and change the name to Da Guan Ben Cao Gang Mu Quan Shu or Da Guan Ben Cao.
