"Byeonjeungbang-yakjeongjeon(辨證方藥正傳)" was written in the year of 1946 by Lee Sanghwa(李常和) by adding on the original "Bang-yakhappyeon(方藥合編)". 850 formulas based on experience from the times of old and present were added to the original 588 of "Bang-yakhappyeon" and Kimsamul(金四物)'s Samultang(四物湯) modification[加減], Yun Chochang(尹草窓)'s Ijintang(二陳湯) and Pyeong-wisan(平胃散) modification, Idongwon(李東垣)'s Bojung-ikgitang(補中益氣湯) modification, and Pung(馮)'s Yukmijihwangtang(六味地黃湯) modification were added. The 60 medical texts that he consulted greatly influenced the formulas that were added, and of those books the ones of interest include "Seoksilbirok(石室秘錄)", "Byeonjeungrok(辨證錄)", "Byeonjeunggimun(辨證奇聞)" and "Bucheongjunamnyeogwa(傅靑主男女科)". If we analyze the 850 formulas of "Byeonjeungbang-yakjeongjeon", 290 of them, 34%, are related to Jinsatak(陣士鐸)'s medical texts, and of those 290, 15 are from "Seoksilbirok"(5%), 49 are from "Bucheongjunyeogwa"(17%), and 226 are from "Byeonjeungrok"(78%). So, the added formulas of Leesanghwa's "Byeonjeungbang-yakjeongjeon" have been greatly influenced by Jinsatak(陳士鐸), and by looking through Jin(陳)'s medical ideas one can find the origin of prescriptions and become more flexible.
