The book was edited by the government of the Tang Dynasty, therefore is also known as Materia Medicae Tang Edition (Tang Ben Cao). It is the oldest extant pharmacopoeia book (an official book listing a catalog of medicine and their use) in the world. This book included 850 types of medical herbs and their pictures, which further improved the scale of eastern medicine.
