“Zhu Youke” or “Secret Strange Book” is a rare banknote at home and abroad. “Zhu Youke” has five volumes, which are not divided into volumes, but the covers are divided into Qian, Yuan, Heng, Li, and Zhen volumes. The foreword says: “The original stele of this book has been included in the 13th Division of the Imperial Compilation in the thirteenth year of Kangxi’s reign, and Mr. Xu Zhuo in the sixth year of Qianlong’s reign is still there.” This shows that this book was completed before the early Qing Dynasty. Its main content is numerology and spells (contains a lot of spells).

The article “Supplementary Records of the Legal System of Zhu Youhou Collection” in the dry book records that Yaqi, the envoy of Chunxi Wushen Jiedu in the Song Dynasty, was ordered to govern the Yellow River and excavated a stone tablet engraved with fifty-eight secret characters. A Taoist priest surnamed Zhang Decipher it and pass it on to treat the disease “it should be like a sound”. During the Jingtai period of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Jinghui of Linqing used this to help the world, and his family was like a market. The dry book also has “Consolidated Records of Zhu Youke’s Talismans and Seals After the Preface”. The author Zhang Zun pointed out that Yongzheng’s first year of safety was recorded in “Zhu Youke”. , which was written by Shen Chang after he sent out the secret copy of the school. According to this, part of the content of this book may be earlier than the early Qing Dynasty. Since the content of the five volumes is not very coherent, and the forms of talismans and forbidden spells are also different, it is suspected that the book collectors copied the texts from different sources separately and collected them into one volume. I wish you to achieve the effect of “transferring essence and changing qi” through prayers, talismans or forbidden spells, rituals, etc., which can not only solve physical ailments, but also treat children with night crying, women’s births, accidental injuries, insect bites, etc. “Full of Water for Lucky”, “God’s Talisman to Never Rat”, “Blowing Hair to Become a Tiger” or “Flying in the Air”, etc. “Zhu Youke” also divides medical treatment into Dafangmai, Rheumatology, Obstetrics, Ophthalmology, Pediatrics, Articulation and Throat, Surgery, Traumatology, Otolaryngology, Sores and Tumors, Jin Cluster and Book Forbidden. Every department has a doctor on duty.
