Liu Yuduo was a royal physician with proficient medical techniques and was trusted by the royal family. He was praised as the "First medical officer" by Yongzheng emperor. With Wu Qian, he was the co-compiling officer of the Yi zong jin jian (Golden Mirror of Medicine) during the Qianlong reign and made immortal contributions to the development of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). There were scanty materials about Liu in TCM literature and orthodox history in later ages. However, much materials about him can be found in archives, memorials to the emperors. Emperors' instructions, or even local annals which provide much materials to the research of Liu Yuduo.
刘裕铎是一位医术精湛的太医院院使，深受皇室信任。他被雍正皇帝赞誉为“天下第一良医”。乾隆年间，他与吴谦共同担任《医宗金鉴》的总修官，为中医的发展做出了不朽贡献。后世中医文献和正史中关于刘裕铎的资料较少。然而，在档案、奏折、皇帝谕旨甚至地方志中能找到许多关于他的资料，这些为研究刘裕铎提供了丰富素材。
