[New evidences for adapting Qian jin yao fang (Thousand golden essential prescriptions) by Office of Revising Medical Books of the Song dynasty].

Qian jin yao fang (Thousand Golden Essential Prescriptions) written by Sun Simiao in the Tang dynasty has two kinds of extant editions in circulation: one is the revised edition, Bei ji qian jin yao fang (Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold for Emergencies) revised by the Office of Revising Medical Books of the Song dynasty, the other is the Song edition, Sun zhenren qian jin fang (Master Sun's Thousand Golden Prescription) (20 volumes extant) not revised by Song people. There are great discrepancies between these two editions not only in the order of chapter contents, including the order of items in the same chapter, but also in its texts. Concerning the causes of this difference, we already made preliminary analysis in our former paper. However, there are new evidences to further explain it with our recent research.
