摘要中医人物辞典的编纂工作极为重要。《中医人名大辞典》共收录18 000余名医学家，资料丰富，条目清晰，对研究医家医史作出了重要贡献。然而，该辞典在收录及编纂方面仍然有一些值得商榷之处，主要有错收漏收、医家资料不全、人物关系误考失考、前后不统一等问题。因而，未来在修订该辞典或编纂中医相关辞典时需要做到：一是可利用数据库等多方面收集史料，二是对史料要加以详细考证，三是要前后一致，四是著名医学流派成员应当尽量全录。

abstractsA dictionary compilation of the important figures in traditional Chinese medicine is very important. The Dictionary of Traditional Chinese Medicine Figures contributes greatly to the research of traditional Chinese medicine figures and traditional Chinese medicine history because more than 18,000 traditional Chinese physicians are included, along with rich data and a clear index. However, some problems are still worth discussing. These problems mainly focus on lack of consistency with the style, incomplete data of physicians, mistakes in the relationship between characters, and lack of consistency of the style of the sections. In this sense, these problems give the following warnings for dictionary compilation of relevant Chinese medicine. First of all, a variety of data sources, such as databases should be involved. Additionally, literature materials should be fully studied and examined. And thirdly, the publication needs to maintain consistency from the beginning to the end. Most importantly, as many as possible of those famous members of medical schools should be included.
