Abstract：

The frontispiece of Fuxingjue Zangfu Yongyao Fayao features an illustration of the Three Sovereigns, the Four Deities, and the Twenty-Eight Lunar Mansions. Through textual research on this frontispiece, it is discovered that the book's organizational structure, textual form, and academic thought are all elaborated around the culture of the Three Sovereigns. The creation of the major and minor Four Deities and the Erdan Decoctions (二旦汤) in the book reflects the culture of Fuxi. The principles of formula composition and medicinal selection embody the culture of Shennong, and the book's title and organizational structure demonstrate the culture of the Huangdi. The academic thought presented in this work represents an inheritance and development of the culture of the Three Sovereigns.
