English Translation
A formula is a method. The ancients, in establishing formulas, each had a deep intention. This collection gathers the formulas and annotates them, making clear the meaning of sovereign, minister, assistant and envoy and the principles of modification, so that ancient formulas may yet treat today's diseases.
📝 Commentary
Wang Ang's celebrated Qing formulary. It explains his aim: to annotate collected formulas, clarifying their sovereign-minister-assistant-envoy structure and rules of modification.
