Sun Simiao attached great importance to the medical experience of the folk, and continued to accumulate visits, recorded in time, and finally completed his work, "Thousand Golden Essentials". After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Sun Simiao accepted the invitation of the imperial court to cooperate with the government in medical activities. In the fourth year of Tang Gaozong Xianqing's reign (659), he completed the world's first national pharmacopoeia, Tang Xin Ben Cao (Tang New Materia Medica).

Sun Simiao was not only skilled in internal medicine, but also in gynecology, pediatrics, surgery, and the five senses. For the first time in Chinese medicine, he advocated the establishment of a separate department for the treatment of women's and children's illnesses, and first discussed gynecology and pediatrics in his writings, stating that it was "to honor the essence of the righteousness". He attached great importance to the health care of women and children, and wrote "Women's Formula" in three volumes and "Young Infants and Children's Formula" in two volumes, which was placed at the top of "Thousand Golden Prescriptions".

He made a detailed study of foot fungus disease, and firstly suggested that it could be prevented by cooking porridge with grain white skin and taking it regularly, and the medicine chosen for treating foot fungus disease was rich in vitamin B1, which had a very good effect.

The "wisdom round" means that in the event of a round and flexible, shall not be constrained, must have the ability to control the enemy first; "line square" refers to not greedy for fame, not to take advantage of the heart of its own heaven and earth.
