Ru Yan, courtesy name Ru Yan, pseudonym Jiezhai, was a native of Cixi, Zhejiang. He passed the imperial examination during the Chenghua reign and became a jinshi (degree holder). He had a deep passion for medical prescriptions and gained unique insights. Nowadays, people treat phlegm disorders by conventionally using Erchen Tang (Two-Aged Decoction).
Lun, however, disagreed, stating: Banxia (Pinelliae Rhizoma) is acrid and drying; it is only suitable for treating phlegm-fluid retention caused by wind-dampness. If it is old phlegm or phlegm-fire, it is not appropriate to use, as it may instead cause harm. Therefore, he formulated Laotan Wan (Old Phlegm Pill), which deeply grasps the principles of treating phlegm-fire. Unfortunately, he overemphasized the saying "Ginseng kills," asserting that patients with consumptive weakness must absolutely not use Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma), leading to today's rigid adherence to this error of "depleting the deficient," the harms of which are countless.
De Mei, courtesy name De Mei, pseudonym Yizhai, was a native of Changzhou. Orphaned in childhood, he studied Confucianism and mastered medical arts with precision. Scholars recommended him to the court. Although his merits were not fully recognized, he often admired the ancient saying "Opening a book brings benefit," writing it on screens to warn himself.
Lu Ji, courtesy name Lu Ji, was a native of Ouning.

His compiled work, Yanxiao Liangfang (Verified Effective Good Prescriptions), in ten volumes, circulated in the world.
Shiyong, courtesy name Shiyong, was a native of Changzhou. He was known early on for filial piety and fraternal duty. He was erudite and proficient in medicine, possessing unique insights and not adhering blindly to outdated theories.
A person from Siming, he served as the Director of the Imperial Medical Bureau during the Zhengtong reign. He had a profound understanding of drug properties and extensively studied medical texts. His treatments and prescriptions often achieved remarkable results. Thus, he compiled Qixiao Liangfang (Extraordinary Effective Good Prescriptions) in seventy volumes, which is currently circulating.
Dingwen, courtesy name Dingwen, was a native of Changshu, Suzhou. His family practiced medicine for generations. It was Zhen who particularly valued scholarship and moral integrity. Initially, he was summoned to the capital due to his expertise in medicine. Later, accompanied by a vanguard force, he managed affairs in various Western Regions countries three times on account of his literary and martial talents. For his merit, he was granted the right to wear third-rank official robes and held hereditary positions as the Chief Instructor of Medicine in Suzhou Prefecture. He authored collections such as Yishu Zuiyao (Essentials of Medical Books). His younger brother, Xing, courtesy name Dingzhi, possessed extensive medical knowledge, and people referred to them as the "Two Difficulties" (a pair of exceptional talents). They are now residents of Taicang.
