His father, Wang Jingze 王鏡澤, was a renowned physician of the time, skilled in acupuncture and moxibustion.

Next comes the section titled "Rhapsody on the annotations on the hidden essentials" (Zhujie biaoyou fu 注解標幽賦), followed by twelve verses of the "Chanted formulas of the eleven celestial star points" (Tianxing shiyi que gejue 天星十一穴歌訣). Then come the "Chanted formulas of the human spirit, coccyx spirit, the Supreme Unity, and the Nine Palaces" (Renshen jiushen taiyi jiugong gejue 人神尻神太乙九宮歌訣); "Therapeutic indications for sixty-six acupuncture points" (Liushiliu que zhizheng 六十六穴治證); "Secret formulas of the midnight–midday flow method" (Ziwu liuzhu xinyao mijue 子午流注心要秘訣); the "Diagram of the six methods matched to the calendar" (Rishi peihe liufa tu 日時配合六法圖); and the "Secret transmission of the direct needling of the rock-gold point" (Panshi jinzhi ci bichuan 盤石金直刺秘傳).

Wang's disciple Zhou Zhongliang 周仲良 wrote a preface dated 1329, stating that the book was attributed to Bian Que out of reverence for his medical teachings and divine methods. Many of the titles within the book are coarse or rustic in tone, and the writing is simple and straightforward, typical of the style used by practitioners of the healing arts. Nevertheless, the medical content it covers was clearly transmitted through direct instruction.
