[The academic sources of You Ke Tie Jing]

Abstract

You Ke Tie Jing, as the most widely published Chinese pediatric work, first published in 1695. Its writing style was influenced by You Ke Bai Xiao Quan Shu in the Ming Dynasty. Its section of the Pediatric Tuina was related to You Ke Bai Xiao Quan Shu, Xiao Er An Mo Jing, Xiao Er Tuina Mi Zhi, and Xiao Er Tuina Mi Jue. The section of Pediatric Disease was based on You Ke Bai Xiao Quan Shu and the author's own identification of symptoms, such as febrile convulsion, fever, and umbilical wind. It documented seventy-five prescriptions of which 70 were the same as You Ke Bai Xiao Quan Shu. It can be inferred that You Ke Tie Jing was mainly based on You Ke Bai Xiao Quan Shu and also fully referred to Xiao Er An Mo Jing, Xiao Er Tuina Mi Zhi, and Xiao Er Tuina Mi Jue.
