伏羲氏拥有《天元玉册》，这是鬼臾区（Gui Yuqu）的十世祖口诵并传承下来的，《素问》（Suwen, Basic Questions）中大量记载了这些话语。
神农氏拥有流传后世的《本草》（Bencao, Materia Medica）。
黄帝氏与下面九个人互相问答，撰写了《灵枢》（Lingshu, Spiritual Pivot）和《素问》内外共十八卷。“素”意为根本，即五行的根本；“问”意为黄帝提问。他在《易》中得到赞许，在《史》中被记载，在《大学》（Great Learning）中被序述，是古代的圣人。后世往往谈论黄老之学，却不知道这里的“黄”指的是黄石公（Huang Shigong），而非黄帝。

桐君（Tongjun）是黄帝的臣子。他熟知草木的性味，确定三品药物为君臣佐使（Jun-Chen-Zuo-Shi, the hierarchy of ingredients in a prescription: sovereign, minister, assistant, and courier），撰写了《采药对》四卷、《采药别录》十卷。

Based on the contents of *Yilin Shizhuan* (Biographies of Medical Historians), *Waizhuan* (External Biographies), and *Yuanyi Tuzan* (Illustrated Praise of the Origin of Medicine), this text is compiled categorically so that future students may know what to observe and emulate.
Before the Three Dynasties (Xia, Shang, Zhou), sage rulers and virtuous chancellors created medicine and pharmacy to save lives and rescue the dying.
Fuxi possessed the *Tianyuan Yuce* (Heavenly Origin Jade Register), which was orally recited and transmitted by his ten-generation descendant, Gui Yuqu; these words are heavily recorded in the *Suwen* (Basic Questions).
Shennong left behind the *Bencao* (Materia Medica) for posterity.
The Yellow Emperor engaged in mutual Q&A with nine other figures, composing the *Lingshu* (Spiritual Pivot) and *Suwen* (Basic Questions), totaling eighteen volumes inside and outside. "Su" means root, referring to the root of the Five Elements; "Wen" refers to the questions posed by the Yellow Emperor. He was praised in the *Yijing* (Book of Changes), recorded in history, and prefaced in the *Daxue* (Great Learning); he was a sage of ancient times. Later generations often spoke of the Huang-Lao school of thought, not realizing that the "Huang" there referred to Huang Shigong (Master of the Yellow Rock), not the Yellow Emperor.
Jiu Daiji was Qibo's teacher during the time of the Three Sovereigns. He established the degrees of meridians, acupoints, zang-fu organs, and yin-yang, aligning human physiology with heaven, earth, and all things. By analyzing complexion and pulse to understand spiritual clarity, the origins of medicine began here.
Qibo was a minister during the reign of the Yellow Emperor. Through mutual questioning and difficulty resolution with the Emperor, he composed the *Neijing* (Inner Canon) to teach future generations.
Bogao, Shaoyu, and Gui Yuqu were three ministers of the Yellow Emperor. They elucidated the Five Elements and detailed the principles of pulse diagnosis, establishing them as canonical theories. There was also Shaoshi, who was a minister at the same time.
Yufu was a minister of the Yellow Emperor. He treated diseases without using Tangye (herbal decoctions); instead, he cut the skin, dissected muscles, resolved meridian blockages and tied sinews, manipulated marrow and brain, smoothed internal membranes (huangmu), washed out the intestines and stomach, cleansed the five zang organs, refined essence to transform the body, thereby eliminating myriad diseases.
Tongjun was a minister of the Yellow Emperor. He knew much about the nature and flavor of herbs, categorized drugs into three grades (upper, middle, lower) arranged as Jun-Chen-Zuo-Shi (Sovereign, Minister, Assistant, Courier roles in a formula), and wrote four volumes of *Caiyao Dui* (Pairs of Collected Herbs) and ten volumes of *Caiyao Bie Lu* (Additional Records of Collected Herbs).
Leigong (Thunder Duke), whose name is omitted or used as a title, was a minister of the Yellow Emperor. He was skilled in medical arts and authored two works: *Zhijiao Lun* (Discourse on Supreme Teachings) and *Yaoxing Paozhi* (Processing of Drug Properties).
Wu Xian was a minister of Emperor Yao and marked the beginning of medicinal prescriptions.
Yi Yin (also referred to as Yifangyin) was a sage of the Yin dynasty. He formulated the *Tangye Bencao* (Materia Medica of Decoctions), and later generations largely followed his methods.
