The discipline of actual combat training covers a wide range, including the selection of soldiers, the formation of troops, the golden drum of flags, weapons and equipment, the training of generals, military ceremonies and laws, the formation and training of cavalry, and so on. The first to fourth volumes focus on personal training; Volumes 5-8 and the "Miscellaneous Collection" of "Military Equipment Solution" and "Car Step Riding Camp Solution" talk about camp training; The ninth volume of the text, General Theory of Storage and Training (Part I), Guide to the Appointment of General Officers and Miscellaneous Collection of Altar Dictation describe the selection and training of generals and the conditions they should have.
The actual discipline of training was written after Ji Xiaoxin's book and at 1568. Cheng mi? 57 1 year.

The Record of Training published by Changzhou Lin Yushan Bookstore in Qing Dynasty was carved into the Record of Training. The Biography of Qi Jiguang in the Ming Dynasty is recorded as a fact of training soldiers, which is obviously a clerical error. The books collated by Zhonghua Book Company according to the Records of Ming History, Ganqingtang Bibliography and Sikuquanshu Catalogue are inappropriate as military training documents and should be corrected as military training documents.
Practical Discipline of Training is a compilation of all kinds of teaching materials and rules compiled in Qi Jiguang's training. "Military Training Record" said: "For example, the choice of colors of flags and drums, the sound of drums, the joint operation of chariots and bicycles, camping, camping, field combat, victory, education and enlightenment. All these are not prepared, and they are gradually drawn up by our government. I have been a coach for two years. Although I can't describe the soldiers of all walks of life in detail, the Sixth Battalion of the pacesetter is quite worth reading. Today, I will tell the officers and men about treaties, which will be integrated into eight volumes, one of which is about dozens of articles, and one is attached. I will listen to the general's self-study, not to the sergeant's degree, which counts as nine volumes. " This is the completion of the nine volumes of the main body of Training Practice, but it only says that "the coach has been two years" and does not specify the specific completion date. According to the inscription on the altar, the summary of the general catalogue of Sikuquanshu reads: "When the curtain is hung in the afternoon, the new platform on all sides has been built in summer and June, so the life officer will play it with the government and stop practicing." The year of Wu Geng was the fourth year of Qin Minglong (1570), which was written in the year of dragon five, Qin Ming (157 1). According to modern textual research, Qi Jiguang's training began in the second year of Qin Long (1568), and his book was written in the late fourth year of Qin Long or the early fifth year of Qin Long. Zaji was written in six volumes from the period of Qin Long to the early years of Wanli, and the income of A Record of Training should be in the period of Wanli.

During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, The Eighth Route Army Military and Political Magazine compiled the ninth volume of the book Training Generals and other expositions about training generals into the book Quotations of Qi Jiguang's Fighting, which was published in Yan 'an. The research works published in recent years include Wang's "Looking at Qi Jiguang's Two-handed Knife to Ancient Military Science as a Short Soldier from New Works of Discipline and Training Practice".
