Pu Ji Fang(Prescriptions of Universal Relief) is the most extensive prescription book in Chinese history, with 61,739 prescriptions in it.
It was published in 1406, compiled under the leadership of Emperor Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644).Pu Ji Fanggathered great mass of data. In addition to the contents of prescription books before the Ming Dynasty, it has also collected data in other aspects, such as biographies, magazines and so on, so its contents are very rich and detailed. As the number of printed copies was very small and the book was so useful, many people made copies by writing from one to another. The rarer, the more valuable.Pu Ji Fangwas very precious at that time. After some times, the original block-printed edition ofPu Ji Fangwas already lost.

The book described the treatment of many diseases, such as decoction, massage, acupuncture and moxibustion, and so on.Pu Ji Fangis a very practical medical formulary. Under each disease, some prescriptions are listed,so, what the scholar or doctor has to do is just to find the prescriptions according to the disease, and then choose one from the many prescriptions. The book also serves as a very precious medical literature.
