The Proofreading Medical Books Bureau lasted for twenty-four years (1057-1081AD), through Ren, Ying, and Shen Zong. Its outstanding achievement included correcting and completing eleven books from “Jia You Ben Cao” to “SuWen”. This research discusses the editing personnel toward their status, background, and working situation. The outcome shows that: the status of editing personnel was mainly civil officials, and medical officials played the role of assistants. In addition, at least three civil officials cooperated to finish a book in most circumstances. Moreover, civil officials like Yi Lin and Bao-Heng Gao were both familiar with medicine, and they took in charge of all the proofreading work except for “Ben Cao Tu Jing”. |
