Plenty of medical books were spread to Japan from China in the Ming dynasty. The most influential ones include the six comprehensive books, viz, "Yi Shu Da Quan", "Yu Ji Wei Yi", "Yi Xue Zheng Chuan", "Yi Xue Men", "Wan Bing Hui Chun" and "Nan Bei Jing Yan Yi Fang Da Quan", all spread quite fast. To begin with, they promoted the reprinting of Chinese medical books in Japan in large amount since the 16th century, providing convenient textbooks for Japanese medical teaching. Finally, they help to develop the scholastic thought of "Dao San" in theory and practice. As a result, they also helped to rejuvenate Japanese medicine.
