Abstract:
[Objective]To sort out and correct the error of the 27th prescription "Warm disease in summer of Hand Taiyin" about Qingluo Drink in Wenbing Tiaobian·Summer Heat in Upper-Jiao(Analysis of Warm Diseases).The "Hand Taiyin" is mistakenly spread as "Hand Taiyang".[Methods]By using literature retrieval methods,relevant erroneous papers and works in the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Duxiu databases were retrieved.Textual comparisons were made with the initial edition of Wenbing Tiaobian in the digital platform of Airusheng Chinese Basic Classics Library V8.0 and Beijing University of Chinese Medicine Library's ancient books and Republican-era thread-bound book digitization platform.[Results]In the above-mentioned database,a total of 8 books and 1 dissertation mistakenly referred to "Hand Taiyin" to "Hand Taiyang".Most of these publications claim that their source is the first edition of Wenxin Tang in the 18th year of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty (1813),but there is no error in the original text.This error first appeared in 1994.The publication of Wenbing Tiaobian by People's Medical Publishing House in 2005 played a role in the vertical and horizontal dissemination of this error.Many other publications from the same publishing house inherited the 10 errors from the 2005 edition of Wenbing Tiaobian.[Conclusion]The error of the 27th prescription "Warm disease in summer of Hand Taiyin" about Qingluo Drink in Wenbing Tiaobian·Summer Heat in Upper-Jiao(Analysis of Warm Diseases) may have been caused by omission and typo of the editing staff initially.Later,it spread in relevant publications of People's Medical Publishing House,possibly due to the reuse of internal documents during reprinting,resulting in the inheritance of historical errors.This serves as a reminder that when reprinting ancient books,publishing houses should carefully review and strive for excellence to avoid perpetuating errors.
