【罗天益《内经类编》】已佚
刘序说：近代医生中，有人改宗张氏（张仲景）的学问。对于他们的书籍虽然未曾考证，但自汉代以来，只有认为张机、王叔和、孙思邈、钱乙才真正得到了中医的传承。他们用药以“七方十剂”为基础进行灵活变通。他们确立的治疗法则，如果不是突发急症，必定以养护胃气为根本，而不是单纯地治疗疾病。有见识的人认为这接近古法。而东垣的李明之（李杲），则是深得张仲景学问的人，他的论述和治疗案例，大致见于元好问的文集中。镇州人罗谦甫（罗天益）曾跟随李明之学习。有一天遇到我说：“我的老师曾经教导我说：‘古代虽然有方剂，但这些方剂都有其产生的根源。比如脚气病，南北地区有所不同。南方多潮湿，这种病症就是《内经》所说的水湿之气，湿气从下部受邪。孙思邈知道这个道理，所以他的方剂用在南方人身上大多能治愈。至于北方地势高寒，人们也患这种病，那就是所谓饮邪发于体内，湿邪居于下部，以及饮食入胃后谷气多而正气少，湿气停留在下部的情况。我知道其中的道理，所以我制定的方剂用于北方，就像孙思邈的方剂用于南方一样。请你按照经络病证来分类整理这些内容，这样大家就能大致了解方剂的来源了。’我自从接受命令后，共完成了三稿，都被先师毁掉两次，经过反复研磨订正，三年后才完成。命名为《内经类编》，冒昧希望先生作序。《内经》共十八卷，《素问》之外的九卷已经不见踪影，暂且不论。仅就《素问》而言，程颢、邵雍两位先生都认为它是战国时期的书。但是自从《甲乙经》以来，它就不是战国时期的原貌了。自从朱熹、邵雍等人研究以来，它又不是《甲乙经》的原貌了。而现在所流传的版本，又已经不是战国时期的原貌了。如果不从所谓的完整全书中，通过阅读文章来考察其义理，就没有人能识别其真实面目并贯通它了。现在先生做这件事，大概是让学习者熟悉这些内容，然后融会贯通吧。如果不是这样，那不如告诫学习者去钻研古方，如果学习者不能做到这一点，那还不如直接从事古方研究更好。”罗天益也认为这是对的。我听说李先生去世至今三十年了，罗天益祭祀他并像生前一样侍奉他。在薄俗的社会风气中能这样做，值得作序。（出自文集）
徐春甫说：罗天益字谦甫，真定人，是李东垣的弟子。他潜心苦学，积累深厚，力量持久，在李东垣门下居住十多年，完全掌握了其中的奥妙。著有《卫生宝鉴》二十四卷，流行于世。（出自《古今医统》）
〔朱震亨《素问纠略》〕一卷 存世
徐春甫说：朱震亨字彦修，号丹溪，浙江义乌人。自幼好学，每天能记诵千言文字。起初攻读科举，后来研习道学进入华山，拜许文懿公为师。有一天，许公对他说：“我的病很久了，不是精通医学的人是不能治好的。你聪明颖悟，何不游历于医术之间来救济世人呢？”于是丹溪重新致力于医方研究。不久领悟道：“拿着古方来治疗今天的疾病，虽然形式上完备，但必须参考《素问》和《难经》，灵活权衡，才能济世救人。”于是出游求师，渡过浙江走到吴地，历经南徐、建业等地，都没有遇到合适的老师。返回武州时，听说太无先生（滑寿的老师或指代某名医，此处语境似指某位高人，原文未明示具体名字，通常指代其师承渊源中的关键人物，结合上下文可能是指代前文提到的某位或泛指名师，但根据史料朱丹溪师从罗知悌，此处“太无先生”可能为传抄错误或特定称谓，按原文翻译），便去拜见他。多次拜访未能接见，求见的愿望更加坚定。先生终于接见了他，用刘完素、张从正、朱肱三家著作的宗旨为他讲解发挥。彦修接受教诲，医术日益神妙，名声更加显著。四方前来求医的人，道路拥挤。他根据证候施予方药，记录下来的医案可以考证。又著有《格致余论》，阐述其深奥的道理。（出自《古今医统》）
〔滑寿《读素问钞》〕三卷 存世
仪真县志说：滑寿世代是许昌襄城人。在元代，父亲和祖先在江南做官，从许昌迁徙到仪真。滑寿性格机警聪敏，向韩说先生学习，每天记诵一千多字。提笔写文章，辞藻有思想情趣，尤其擅长乐府诗。京口（镇江）的名医王居中客居仪真，滑寿多次前往请教王居中。王居中说道：“医学的祖师是黄帝和岐伯，他们的言论散失不传。世间流传的只有《素问》和《难经》，你要研习它们。”滑寿读完全书后，便向王居中请示，将脏象、经度、脉候、病能、摄生、论治、色脉、针刺、阴阳、标本、运气、汇萃分为十二类，抄录下来研读。从此滑寿的学问日益进步，所向披靡，无不奇效。
按《澹生堂书目》记载，有滑氏《素问注解》三卷一册，想是同一本书，所以今天不再单独列出。
〔汪机《续素问钞》〕三卷 存世
自序说：我阅读滑伯仁（滑寿）所收集的《素问钞》，赞赏他删去了繁杂琐碎的内容，撮取了关键要点，而且编排次序，各自依类相从，井然有序，这不是深入岐黄学问的人是做不到的。但是王氏（王冰）的注释，大多没有采纳，在经文最难理解的地方，仅仅附上了一两点。然而从滑氏的角度看，本来就不需要注释。后来的学习者，未必都像滑氏那样高明，如果没有注释，从哪里入手呢？于是我又取来王氏的注释，参补在其中，并在首页冠以“续”字。偶尔有我私自附带的个人见解，就用“愚谓”二字加以区别。滑氏原本所辑录的内容，不再特别标识。滑氏自己的注释保持原样，另外用“今按”二字区分。这样或许能使原来和现在所辑录的注释，各有分辨，也许有对有错，使学习者知道如何选择。虽然如此，我所辑录的，未必一一完全契合经旨而没有错误。也许因为我的错误，推演以至于达到无误，也是不可知的。谚语说：“抛砖引玉”，或许也能有万一的补益吧。正德己卯年三月初一，祁门县志说：汪机小时候曾是县里的秀才。母亲生病呕吐，于是他专心研究医学。凡是岐伯、黄帝、扁鹊、仓公等人的遗旨，无不探究其关键所在。各种疑难杂症，发作时诊断无不准确，名声很高难以招致（指病人慕名而来）。病人只要听到他的咳嗽声，顿时欢喜病情就好了，保全救活的人很多。著有《石山医案》、《医学原理》、《本草会编》、《素问钞》、《脉诀刊误》、《外科理例》、《痘治理辨》、《针灸问答》、《伤寒选录》、《运气易览》等书。
四库全书提要说：《续素问钞》九卷，明代汪机撰写。这部书因为滑寿的《素问钞》，采集王冰的原注大意，因此重新补录。所有增入的内容，用“续”字加以区别。九卷之中，分上、中、下三部。上四卷，中一卷，下四卷。其标题完全依据滑氏的旧例。（存目）
〔丁瓒《素问钞补正》〕十卷 存世
自序大意说：我受命担任东嘉（温州）太守，日夜恭敬畏惧，努力修习职责，痛心我的百姓往往错误地遭受夭折枉死。因此常常自责。于是召集众医生说：“医生的职业关系到人的生命，你们要谨慎啊。药物没有功效，是因为技术不精湛；技术不精湛，是因为学问没有根本。你们曾经学过《素问》吗？”回答说：“没有。”“为什么不学呢？”回答说：“担心它的言语隐晦深奥。”“你们学过《素问钞》吗？”回答说：“没有。”“为什么不学呢？”回答说：“担心这本书有很多错别字。”因此在政务闲暇之时，取来钞本，亲手补充校正。把王氏（王冰）的注释中与经文相符的，一并记录下来，让大家互相传抄，选择子弟诵读学习。还担心五运六气的理论难以明白，脉理难以知晓，于是取来五运六气主客之图，并《诊家枢要》，附在后面。希望学习者知道方向，我的百姓也有依赖了。
凡例说：王冰的注释觉得颇为冗长泛泛，现在选取其他书籍增减，附上我的见解。其中有疑问错误的，暂时空缺以待知情者。一、注释以王氏为主，较为详细，因此凡王注都不署名。滑氏则称“滑云”。我的见解加圈以区别。一经文中容易理解的，一根据滑氏旧文。一五脏只详细解释一脏，其余脏腑可以类推。
休宁县志说：丁瓒字汝器，西门人。丁氏自宋代以来世代行医。嘉靖初年，丁绳以医术闻名。儿子畜瓒（此处疑为衍文或人名混淆，据下文应为丁瓒之父或家族长辈传授），传授给他医术。后来积攒了几百缗钱想要给儿子，丁瓒推辞回家。行医奇特灵验，人们把他看作仙人。生性好客，客人常满。曾经拿出五十缗钱，解救他人的困境。书画有米芾、倪瓒的风格，六十岁去世。
四库全书提要说：《素问钞补正》十二卷，明代丁瓒编纂。丁瓒字点白（此处与上文字汝器矛盾，通常丁瓒字汝器，号点白或类似，需依史实，此处依原文翻译），镇江人。嘉靖丁丑科进士，官至温州府知府。起初滑寿著《素问钞》，年代久远传写多有讹误。丁瓒依据其旧本，重新补正，又兼采王冰原注来阐明它。共分十二门，完全依据滑寿书的旧例。又把五运六气主客图，并《诊家枢要》，附在后面。（存目）
〔吕复《内经或问》〕已佚
明史稿说：吕复字符膺，鄞县人。年少时孤苦贫穷，跟随老师学习经书，练习词赋。后来因为母亲患病求医，在旅馆遇到衢州名医郑礼之，于是恭敬地侍奉他，因此得到了古代的禁方以及色脉药论等书籍。探讨寻求了一年，试验总有验证。自认为还不够精熟，于是购买古今所有医书，昼夜研究，务必穷尽其中的奥秘。从此出外行医，取得疗效如神。他对医门群经，如《内经》、《素问》、《灵枢》、《本草》、《难经》、《伤寒论》、《脉经》、《脉诀》、《病源论》、《太始天元玉册》、《元诰》、《六微旨》、《五常政大论》、《玄珠密语》、《中藏经》、《圣济经》等书，都有辩驳论述。前代名医，如扁鹊、仓公、华佗、张仲景、孙思邈、庞安常、钱仲阳、陈无择、许叔微、张元素（易水）、刘河间、张子和、李东垣、严子礼、王德肤、张公度等各家，都有评价。所著有的《内经或问》、《灵枢经脉笺》、《五色诊奇赅》、《切脉枢要》、《运气图释》、《养生杂言》、《脉绪》、《脉系图》、《难经附说》、《四时燮理方》、《长沙伤寒十释》、《松风斋杂着》等书。浦江戴良采集他最显著的治病效果数十件事，编为医案。晚年自号沧洲翁。历任仙居、临海教谕，台州教授，都未就职。
〔王翼《素问注疑难》〕已佚
阳城县志说：王翼年幼时聪慧，七岁时听人诵读唐诗，一遍就能清晰背诵。八岁善于写文章。长大后每天记诵千言。参加进士考试，因为染病放弃学业，于是精通医术。治疗疾病多有奇特验证。旁通音律历法，尤其擅长诗歌。所著有《素问注疑难》、《伤寒歌括》、算术若干卷、诗五百余篇。
[Luo Tianyi's *Neijing Leibian*] Lost
Preface by Liu: In recent times, some physicians have shifted their allegiance to the teachings of Zhang (Zhang Zhongjing). Although I have not examined their specific texts, since the Han Dynasty, only those who recognize Zhang Ji, Wang Shuhe, Sun Simiao, and Qian Yi as having truly inherited the tradition are considered correct. Their use of medicines is based on the "Seven Formulas and Ten Categories" (Qifang Shiji), manipulating them flexibly. Their therapeutic methods hold that unless it is a sudden acute condition, one must first nourish the Stomach Qi (Wei Qi) as the foundation, rather than merely treating the disease. Those with insight consider this approach close to ancient practices. Li Dongyuan (Li Gao, courtesy name Mingzhi) was one who deeply acquired the learning of Zhang Zhongjing. His discussions and clinical cases are briefly recorded in Yuan Haowen's collected works. Luo Qianfu (Luo Tianyi) from Zhenzhou once studied under him. One day he met me and said, "My teacher once instructed me: 'Although there were formulas in ancient times, each formula had its origin. For instance, regarding jiaoxie (foot qi/beriberi), there are differences between the North and South. The South is mostly damp and low-lying; the pathology there corresponds to what the Classic says about water and dampness, where dampness enters from below. Sun Simiao understood this, so his formulas cured many patients in the South. As for the North, which is high and cold, people also suffer from this. This is what is referred to as fluid retention originating internally and dampness residing below, or excessive grain intake leading to abundant food qi but deficient healthy qi, with dampness settling in the lower body. I know the rationale behind this. Therefore, my formulas applied in the North are like Sun's formulas applied in the South. Please classify these according to meridians and syndromes, so that one may understand the origins of the formulas.' Since receiving this instruction, I completed three drafts, all of which were destroyed twice by my teacher after rigorous refinement. It took three years to finalize. I named it *Neijing Leibian*. I dare to ask you for a preface. The *Neijing* consists of eighteen volumes. The nine volumes outside the *Suwen* are no longer seen and need not be discussed. Taking the *Suwen* alone, both Master Cheng (Cheng Hao) and Master Shao (Shao Yong) considered it a book from the Warring States period. However, since the *Jiayi Jing*, it was no longer in its original Warring States form. Since the time of Zhu Xi and others, it was no longer in the form of the *Jiayi Jing*. And what is transmitted today is no longer in the Warring States form. If one does not examine the text and investigate the principles within what is claimed to be the complete work, no one can identify its true nature and comprehend it holistically. What Mr. is doing now seems merely to enable students to become familiar with this material so they may later integrate it elsewhere. If this is not the case, it would be better to advise students to engage with ancient formulas. If students cannot do this, then engaging with ancient formulas directly would be superior." Luo also agreed with this view. I heard that Master Li passed away thirty years ago, yet Luo worships him and serves him as if he were alive. In a world of declining morals, such conduct deserves a preface. (From Collected Works)
Xu Chunfu stated: Luo Tianyi, courtesy name Qianfu, was from Zhending. He was a disciple of Dongyuan (Li Gao). He devoted himself to arduous study, accumulating knowledge deeply and persistently. Living under Dongyuan's guidance for over ten years, he mastered its subtleties. He authored *Weisheng Baojian* (Precious Mirror for Health Preservation), twenty-four volumes, which circulated widely. (From *Gujin Yitong*)
[Zhu Zhenheng's *Suwen Jiolue*] One volume, extant
Xu Chunfu stated: Zhu Zhenheng, courtesy name Yanxiu, pseudonym Danxi, was from Yiwu, Zhejiang. He loved learning from childhood, memorizing a thousand characters daily. Initially studying for civil service examinations, he later pursued Daoist studies at Huashan Mountain and became a disciple of Duke Xu Wen Yi. One day, the Duke said to him, "My illness has persisted for a long time; only someone proficient in medicine can cure it. You are bright and quick-witted. Why not practice medicine to benefit others?" Thus, Danxi dedicated himself again to medical formulas. Soon he realized, "Using ancient formulas to treat contemporary diseases may preserve the form, but one must reference the *Suwen* and *Nanjing*, exercising flexible judgment, to save the world." He then traveled seeking teachers, crossing the Zhejiang River into Wu, visiting Nanxu and Jianye, but found no suitable mentor. Returning to Wuzhou, he heard of Master Taiwu and went to pay respects. After several visits without an audience, his determination grew stronger. Finally, the master received him, expounding upon the doctrines of the schools of Liu Wansu, Zhang Congzheng, and Zhu Gong. Yanxiu accepted the teaching, his medical skills becoming increasingly divine, and his fame spreading. People seeking treatment gathered in droves. He prescribed formulas according to syndromes; his recorded medical cases are verifiable. He also authored *Gezhi Yulun*, elucidating profound mysteries. (From *Gujin Yitong*)
[Slao Shou's *Du Suwen Chao*] Three volumes, extant
Yizhen County Gazetteer states: Slao Shou's family originated from Xiangcheng, Xuchang. During the Yuan Dynasty, his father and ancestors held official posts in Jiangnan, moving from Xuchang to Yizhen. Shou was alert and intelligent, studying under Mr. Han Shuo, memorizing over a thousand characters daily. He wrote essays with thoughtful expression, excelling particularly in Yuefu poetry. Wang Juzhong, a famous physician from Jingkou (Zhenjiang), resided in Yizhen. Shou visited him frequently. Wang said, "The ancestors of medicine are the Yellow Emperor and Qibo; their words are lost. What remains in the world are only the *Suwen* and *Nanjing*. You should study them." Shou finished reading the entire volume, then requested permission from Wang to categorize the content into twelve classes: Zang-Xiang (Viscera and Manifestations), Jingdu (Meridian Measurements), Maihou (Pulse Signs), Bingneng (Disease Capacities/Nature), Quesheng (Health Preservation), Lunzhi (Discussion of Treatment), SeMai (Complexion and Pulse), Zhen Ci (Acupuncture and Moxibustion), Yin Yang, Biaoben (Root and Branch), Yunqi (Six Qi Movements), and Huicui (Compilation). He copied and read these. From then on, Shou's learning advanced daily, achieving remarkable accuracy in all endeavors.
According to the *Danshengtang Catalog*, there exists Slao's *Suwen Zhujie* (Annotations on Suwen), three volumes, one fascicle. It is likely the same book, so it is not listed separately here.
[Wang Ji's *Xu Suwen Chao*] Three volumes, extant
Autobiographical Preface: I read the *Suwen Chao* compiled by Master Bo Ren (Slao Shou) and appreciated his deletion of superfluous details and extraction of key points. Furthermore, the arrangement follows categories logically and orderly, which requires deep understanding of the learning of Qi Bo and Huang Di. However, Wang Bing's annotations were largely omitted, with only one or two attached to the most difficult passages of the classic text. From Slao's perspective, annotation might indeed be unnecessary. However, later students may not possess Slao's level of insight. Without annotations, how would they begin? Therefore, I retrieved Wang Bing's annotations and supplemented them, adding the character "Xu" (Continuation) to the title page. Occasionally, I added my own opinions, distinguishing them with the phrase "Yu Wei" (I foolishly believe). The content originally compiled by Slao is not specially marked. Slao's own annotations remain as they were, distinguished by the phrase "Jin An" (Current Commentary). This way, the original and current annotations are clearly differentiated. Perhaps there are errors, allowing students to choose wisely. Although my compilation may not fully align with the scriptural intent without error, perhaps through my errors, one might deduce correctness. As the proverb goes, "Cast a brick to attract jade," it may offer some minor contribution. On the first day of the third month of the Jiyao year of Zhengde era.
Qimen County Gazetteer states: Wang Ji served as a local scholar in his youth. When his mother suffered from vomiting, he devoted himself to medical studies. He explored the essential principles of Qi Bo, Huang Di, Bian Que, and Cang Gong. For strange diseases and unusual symptoms, his diagnoses were invariably accurate. His reputation was so high that patients were cured simply by hearing his cough. He saved many lives. He authored *Shishan Yi'an* (Medical Cases from Stone Mountain), *Yixue Yuanli* (Principles of Medicine), *Bencao Huibian* (Compendium of Materia Medica), *Suwen Chao* (Excerpts from Suwen), *Majue Kanwu* (Corrections to Pulse Rhymes), *Waike Lili* (Principles of Surgery), *Douli Shibian* (Analysis of Smallpox Treatment), *Zhenjiu Wenda* (Q&A on Acupuncture and Moxibustion), *Shanghan Xuanlu* (Selections from Shanghan Lun), and *Yunqi Yilan* (Overview of Six Qi Movements).
Summary of the Siku Quanshu states: *Xu Suwen Chao*, nine volumes, written by Wang Ji of the Ming Dynasty. This work builds upon Slao Shou's *Suwen Chao*, incorporating the main points of Wang Bing's original annotations, and re-compiling them. All additions are distinguished by the character "Xu". The nine volumes are divided into Upper, Middle, and Lower sections: four volumes upper, one middle, four lower. The headings strictly follow Slao's original structure. (Catalog Entry)
[Ding Zan's *Suwen Chao Bu Zheng*] Ten volumes, extant
Brief Autobiographical Preface: Appointed as Governor of Dongjia (Wenzhou), I lived in constant reverence and fear, striving to fulfill my duties. I grieved that my people often suffered premature death due to medical errors. Thus, I constantly blamed myself. I summoned the physicians and told them, "Medicine concerns human life; you must be cautious. Lack of medicinal efficacy stems from imprecise techniques; imprecise techniques stem from a lack of foundational learning. Have you studied the *Suwen*?" They replied, "No." "Why not?" "We fear its language is obscure and profound." "Have you studied the *Suwen Chao*?" "No." "Why not?" "We fear the text contains many printing errors." Therefore, during administrative leisure, I took the manuscript and manually corrected it. I included Wang Bing's annotations where they aligned with the classic text, encouraging mutual copying and selection of children to recite and study. Fearing that the theory of Five Movements and Six Qi might be hard to understand, and pulse principles difficult to grasp, I appended diagrams of the Main and Guest phases of the Five Movements and Six Qi, along with *Zhenjia Shuyao* (Key Points for Diagnosticians), hoping students would know their direction and my people would benefit.
General Rules: Wang Bing's annotations seem somewhat verbose and general. I have selected and modified content from other books, adding my own views. Doubts and errors are left blank for experts to fill. 1. Annotations prioritize Wang Bing's detailed explanations, so Wang's notes are unattributed. Slao's are cited as "Slao says." My views are circled for distinction. 2. Easy-to-understand passages are noted. 3. Based on Slao's old text. 4. Detailed explanation of only one Zang organ, others inferred by analogy.
Xiuning County Gazetteer states: Ding Zan, courtesy name Ruqi, was from the West Gate. The Ding family practiced medicine since the Song Dynasty. In the early Jiajing era, Ding Shen was famous for his medicine. His son, Chu Zan (Note: Text implies inheritance, likely referring to Ding Zan inheriting from father/grandfather), learned the trade. Later, possessing hundreds of strings of cash, he wished to give it to his son, but Zan declined and returned home. His medical treatments were remarkably effective, and people regarded him as an immortal. He loved hosting guests, who always filled his house. He once spent fifty strings of cash to rescue someone from distress. His calligraphy and painting resembled the styles of Mi Fu and Ni Zan. He died at sixty.
Summary of the Siku Quanshu states: *Suwen Chao Bu Zheng*, twelve volumes, edited by Ding Zan of the Ming Dynasty. Zan, courtesy name Dianbai (Note: Contradicts Ruqi in gazetteer, usually Zan is Ruqi, Dianbai might be another style or error in source), was from Zhenjiang. A Jinshi degree holder in the Dingchou year of Jiajing, he served as Prefect of Wenzhou. Initially, Slao Shou wrote *Suwen Chao*, but over years, copies contained many errors. Zan used the old version to re-correct it, additionally adopting Wang Bing's original annotations to clarify meanings. It comprises twelve sections, following Slao's old examples. Diagrams of the Main and Guest phases of Five Movements and Six Qi and *Zhenjia Shuyao* are appended. (Catalog Entry)
[Lv Fu's *Neijing Huowen*] Lost
Draft History of Ming states: Lv Fu, courtesy name Zhiying, was from Yin. Orphaned and poor in youth, he studied classics and poetry with a teacher. Later, seeking a doctor for his mother's illness, he met the famous physician Zheng Lizhi from Quzhou at an inn. He respectfully served him and thereby obtained ancient secret prescriptions and books on complexion, pulse, and materia medica. He researched for a year, and his trials were consistently effective. Feeling insufficient, he purchased all ancient and modern medical books, studying day and night to exhaust their depths. Thereafter, he practiced medicine publicly, achieving miraculous results. Regarding the major classics of medicine, such as *Neijing*, *Suwen*, *Lingshu*, *Bencao*, *Nanjing*, *Shanghan Lun*, *Maijing*, *Majue*, *Bingyuan Lun*, *Taishi Tianyuan Yuce*, *Yuangao*, *Liweizhi*, *Wuchang Zheng*, *Xuanzhu Miyu*, *Zhongzang Jing*, and *Shengji Jing*, he provided critical discussions. He evaluated previous famous physicians including Bian Que, Cang Gong, Hua Tuo, Zhang Zhongjing, Sun Simiao, Pang Anchang, Qian Zhongyang, Chen Wuye, Xu Shumi, Zhang Yuansu (Yishui), Liu Hejian, Zhang Zihe, Li Dongyuan, Yan Zili, Wang Defu, and Zhang Gongdu. His works include *Neijing Huowen*, *Lingshu Jingmai Jian*, *Wuse Zhen Qi Gai*, *Qiemai Shuyao*, *Yunqi Tushi*, *Yangsheng Zayan*, *Maixu*, *Maixi Tu*, *Nanjing Fusuo*, *Sishi Xielifang*, *Changsha Shanghan Shi Shi*, and *Songfeng Zhai Zazhuo*. Dai Liang from Pujiang collected dozens of his most notable clinical cases into a medical record. In his later years, he styled himself Cangzhou Weng. He was appointed Instructor of Xianju and Linhai, and Professor of Taizhou, but refused all posts.
[Wang Yi's *Suwen Zhu Yinan*] Lost
Yangcheng County Gazetteer states: Wang Yi was precocious. At seven, hearing Tang poems recited, he could recite them clearly after one hearing. At eight, he excelled at writing. Growing up, he memorized a thousand characters daily. He took the imperial examination but abandoned his studies due to illness, subsequently mastering medical arts. His treatments were often remarkably effective. He had knowledge of music and calendar science and was especially skilled in poetry. His works include *Suwen Zhu Yinan*, *Shanghan Gekuo*, several volumes of arithmetic, and over five hundred poems.
