He Mengyao had original ideas on the theory of five zang organs and Yin Yang, water and fire, deficiency and excess, Qi and blood and other basic theories of traditional Chinese medicine. Based on the subtropical characteristics of Lingnan's geography and climate, he proposed that the medication for the diagnosis and treatment of all kinds of warm and hot diseases should be different from the conventional medication in northern China. He believed that the drugs for clearing warm and hot diseases should be used instead of warm and tonic drugs according to the physical constitution and climate of local people. In order to make his medical theory benefit the people, he Mengyao set up an account to recruit medical students to impart his experience, and gave prescriptions to the patients in person. His new theory of Lingnan traditional Chinese medicine and its curative effect are generally recognized by the society, "the people in the southern belt are all effective in their prescriptions, and taking their medicine is as effective as God."

He Mengyao said in his preface: "or say: today, Jingyue Quanshu is in vogue, and the intensity of GUI and Fu is equal to that of Xiangang, and zizuo is in a mess. When a man becomes a doctor, he is not a doctor. When he is a doctor, he is a doctor? "Qiao" is regarded as Bian. I'm not afraid to say anything It is even more clearly stated in his general rules: "the poison of today's Guifu is equal to a great sword. Seeing the current situation, Meng Yao had to correct it.
