凡例曰。历代名医。凡史传所载者。谨备录之于前五卷矣。其有散见各家文集者。亦录之以备遗。则俱列于
后五卷。一古之名医。前史已有传者。既录之矣。乃若张仲景王叔和启玄子。皆医之宗也。良不可无传。今皆补

名医而作者实繁。其篇悉弗录。盖不可胜录也。一诸名医学本素难。方术醇正者。则录之。如晋书所载佛图澄单

附传后。以谂观者。一近代名医。如刘守真张子和李明之诸子。平生着述颇多。其治疗奇验。不可胜数。而金

明史稿曰。李濂。字川父。祥符人。举正德八年乡试第一。明年成进士。授沔阳知州。稍迁宁波同知。擢山
西佥事。嘉靖五年。以大计免归。年才三十有八。濂少负俊才。时从侠少年。联骑出城。搏兽射雉。酒酣悲歌慨
然。慕信陵君侯生之为人。一日作理情赋。友人左国玑持以示李梦阳。梦阳大嗟赏。访之吹台。濂自此声驰河雒

【甘氏(伯宗)名医传】(《宋史》中作《历代名医录》)新唐书经籍志记载为七卷,已佚失。
【李氏(濂)医史】明史记载为十卷,现存。
凡例说:历代名医,凡是史传中有记载的,都谨慎地完整收录在前五卷中。那些散见于各家文集中的,也加以收录以补充遗漏,这些都列在后五卷里。古代的名医,前代史书已有传记的,已经收录了。至于像张仲景、王叔和、启玄子(王冰),都是医学的宗师,确实不能没有传记,现在都为他们补写传记。那些完全没有事实依据的,如巫咸、巫彭、矫氏、俞氏、卢氏、崔文子、公孙光之类,则予以省略。凡是各家文集中所载的序言、记述、杂文,凡是写给名医的文章实在很多,这些篇章全部不收录,因为多得无法尽录。各位名家的学术本源在于《素问》和《难经》,方术纯正端正的,就收录他们;如《晋书》所载的佛图澄、单道开之类,颇为涉及怪诞虚妄,全部排斥不录,恐怕滋扰后人的困惑。凡是区分辨别有见闻的,本传中没有涉及的,或者偶尔有一得之愚见,也悄悄附在传记之后,以此告知读者。近代名医,如刘守真、张子和、李明之诸人,平生著作很多,其治疗奇特有效,不可胜数,而《金史》记载得很简略,现在暂且根据史书记载,不敢随意增补。
《明史稿》说:李濂,字川父,祥符人。在正德八年乡试中获第一名。第二年考中进士,授任沔阳知州。不久升迁为宁波同知,又提拔为山西佥事。嘉靖五年,因大计考核免职回家,当时年仅三十八岁。李濂年少时自负才华,时常与侠义少年一起,骑马出城,搏杀野兽,射猎野鸡,酒喝酣畅时悲歌慷慨,仰慕信陵君门客侯生的为人。有一天他写了《理情赋》,友人左国玑拿给李梦阳看,李梦阳大为赞叹欣赏,到吹台拜访他,李濂从此名声在河洛之间传播开来。罢官归乡后,更加致力于学问,于是以古文闻名于当时。起初受李梦阳赏识,后来不屑于附和迎合,在乡里居住四十多年,著作非常丰富。
《四库全书提要》说:《医史》十卷,明代李濂撰写。这部书采集收录自古以来的名医,从《左传》中的医和以下,直到元代李杲,见于史传的共五十五人。又采集各家文集所载的,从宋代张扩以下,直到张养正,共十人。其中张机(张仲景)、王叔和、王冰(启玄子)、王履、戴原礼、葛应雷六人,则是李濂为他们补写的传记。每篇传记之后,李濂也都附有论断。然而像医和诊断晋侯,就知道赵孟会死,依据医和所说的“主不能御”,我认为是以人事天道来判断的,而李濂却认为他是太素脉的祖师。《扁鹊传》中,赵简子、齐桓公、虢君,各自处于不同的时代,这本来是《史记》好奇求异的错误,而李濂不加订正。葛洪本来属于道家,只是偶然收集方书,没听说有什么浩大的验证,却一概收入,那么陶弘景撰写《名医别录》,对本草学有功,为什么被遗漏?褚澄的遗书,伪托的痕迹明显,却不能辨别,反而证明它是真本。至于宋代僧人智缘,本传中只有“善医”二字,没有其他治疗有效的记录,仅仅因为懂太素脉,这与张扩具有具体医案的情况截然不同,载入医家传记,尤为滥及。远济鲁古(按:济鲁古原作直鲁古,今改正),也没有任何一件事可叙述,仅仅因为“长亦能医,专事针灸”两句话,就匆忙为他立传,那么应当立传的人,又有多少限制呢?李濂的其他著作颇可观,但这本书却冗杂特别严重,实在难以理解。只有他论述仓公(淳于意)神医,生了五个女儿而不生儿子,他的老师公乘阳庆也七十多岁,没有儿子,以此来证明医家没有生育儿子的法术,这个观点是千古未发的,有值得取法的地方。

程云鹏说:《医人传》,自轩辕、岐伯以下,代代不乏其人。(采辑整理成编。)表彰他们的功能,辟除他们的谬误,学习者得以有所适从,百姓怎能得不到救济。
按:【殷氏(仲春)医藏目录】一卷,存。
殷仲春说:平生嗜好医家书籍,遗憾不能多见。我在宁国时,闲暇无事,而江西朱纯宇先生,久居并结识宁国诸医家,以及仕宦之家,因为饶道尊的命令,携带刺借来观看,然后才知道医书治理浩瀚(指医书繁多深奥)。现在列为十几函,标出函目,使仁人寻求这些书,从而广泛救济众生。饶道尊是浙江省提学,酷爱医家典籍,收藏非常丰富。宁国日出每天对所藏进行考订校正,虽然未完成全部卷帙,姑且记下名目罢了。
又说:按《医藏录》这个名字,取自诸如来的法藏,权且设立其名,用来救济度化众生。世人珍重严敬的,没有比得上佛教经典的;广泛获得救济的,也没有超过佛教经典的。从前庾信窃取佛记,用华丽的辞藻修饰文章,导致罪孽显现,我借用如来藏的名字,来拯救困厄,就像汲黯假托诏令发放粮食以救济饥民,汉武帝虽然是英明的君主也不加罪责。又如周室不朝拜,齐桓公、晋文公不得不号令诸侯。况且佛藏中有药师经,礼拜忏悔诵念,就能得到清凉解脱厄难,医藏对于世间实际上的罪过或许也能宽恕。

[Biographies of Famous Doctors by Gan (Bozong)] (Recorded as *Records of Famous Doctors Through the Ages* in the *History of Song*), recorded as seven volumes in the *New Book of Tang*, is lost.
[Medical History by Li (Lian)], recorded as ten volumes in the *Ming History*, is extant.
The General Principles state: For famous doctors through the ages, those recorded in historical biographies have been carefully and completely collected in the first five volumes. Those scattered among various literary collections are also recorded to supplement omissions, and these are listed in the latter five volumes. Ancient famous doctors who already had biographies in previous histories have been included. As for figures such as Zhang Zhongjing, Wang Shuhe, and Qixuanzi (Wang Bing), who are all patriarchs of medicine, it would indeed be impossible to omit their biographies; thus, new biographies are now supplemented for them. Figures lacking factual basis, such as Wu Xian, Wu Peng, Jiao Shi, Yu Shi, Lu Shi, Cui Wenzi, and Gongsun Guang, are omitted. Regarding prefaces, records, and miscellaneous essays written about famous doctors found in various literary collections, there are too many to record exhaustively, so these chapters are entirely excluded. Scholars whose academic roots lie in the *Suwen* (Basic Questions) and *Nan Jing* (Classic of Difficult Issues) and whose medical methods are pure and upright are included. Conversely, figures like Fotu Cheng and Dandao Kai recorded in the *Book of Jin*, whose accounts involve considerable superstition and absurdity, are rejected and excluded to avoid confusing later generations. Any observations or insights not covered in the original biographies, or occasional personal reflections, are quietly appended after the respective biographies to inform readers. Modern famous doctors, such as Liu Shouzhen, Zhang Zihe, and Li Mingzhi, produced numerous works and achieved remarkable therapeutic results, yet the *History of Jin* records them very briefly. Now, relying solely on historical records, no additions are made.
The *Draft History of Ming* states: Li Lian, courtesy name Chuanfu, was from Xiangfu. He ranked first in the provincial examination in the eighth year of Zhengde. The following year, he passed the metropolitan examination and was appointed Prefect of Mianyang. He was subsequently promoted to Vice Prefect of Ningbo, and then to Commissioner of Shanxi. In the fifth year of Jiajing, he was dismissed due to a general evaluation and returned home at the age of thirty-eight. In his youth, Li Lian boasted of his talent and often rode with young chivalrous men out of the city to hunt beasts and pheasants. When drunk, he would sing sorrowful songs with great emotion, admiring the character of Hou Sheng, a retainer of Lord Xinling. One day, he wrote the *Ode on Reasoning Emotions*. His friend Zuo Guoji showed it to Li Mengyang, who greatly admired it and visited him at Chuitai. From then on, Li Lian’s fame spread throughout the Heluo region. After being dismissed, he devoted himself even more to study and became renowned for his classical prose. Initially appreciated by Li Mengyang, he later refused to conform or flatter. He lived in his hometown for over forty years and produced a rich body of work.
The *Abstract of the Complete Library of the Four Treasuries* states: *Medical History*, ten volumes, written by Li Lian of the Ming Dynasty. This compilation collects famous doctors from ancient times, starting from Yi He in the *Zuo Zhuan* up to Li Gao of the Yuan Dynasty, totaling fifty-five individuals found in historical biographies. It also extracts entries from various literary collections, from Zhang Kuo of the Song Dynasty up to Zhang Yangzheng, totaling ten individuals. Among them, Zhang Ji (Zhongjing), Wang Shuhe, Wang Bing (Qixuanzi), Wang Lv, Dai Yuanli, and Ge Yinglei, six individuals, have biographies supplemented by Li Lian. After each biography, Li Lian appends his own commentary and judgment. However, regarding Yi He diagnosing the Marquis of Jin and predicting Zhao Meng’s death, based on Yi He’s statement “the master cannot withstand it,” this appears to be a judgment based on human affairs and heavenly principles, yet Li Lian considers him the ancestor of Taisu Pulse diagnosis. In the *Biography of Bian Que*, Zhao Jianzi, Duke Huan of Qi, and the Ruler of Guo belong to different eras; this error stems from the *Shiji*’s tendency toward sensationalism, which Li Lian fails to correct. Ge Hong belonged to Daoism and merely compiled medical formulas without notable miraculous validations, yet he is included indiscriminately. Consequently, Tao Hongjing, who authored the *Bie Lu* (Supplement to Materia Medica) and contributed significantly to materia medica, is inexplicably omitted. The posthumous writings of Chu Cheng are obviously forgeries, yet Li Lian fails to distinguish them and treats them as authentic. Regarding the Song dynasty monk Zhiyuan, the biography only mentions he was “skilled in medicine” without any specific cases of effective treatment; he is included merely because he knew Taisu pulse diagnosis, which is distinctly different from Zhang Kuo, who has detailed medical cases. Including him in medical biographies is particularly excessive. Yuan Jilugu (Note: originally written as Zhi Lugu, corrected here) has no specific deeds to recount; a biography is hastily created for him based solely on the phrase “long skilled in medicine, specializing in acupuncture and moxibustion.” If this criterion applies, how many others should be given biographies? While Li Lian’s other works are quite commendable, this book is excessively verbose and disorganized, which is hard to understand. Only his discussion of Cang Gong (Chunyu Yi), the divine doctor, noting that he had five daughters but no sons, and that his teacher Gongcheng Yangqing was also over seventy and childless, serves as evidence that physicians lack methods for male offspring. This insight is unprecedented in history and worthy of adoption.

To highlight their merits and refute their errors, so that learners may know where to turn, and the people may find relief.
Note: [Catalogue of Medical Collections by Yin (Zhongchun)], one volume, extant.
Yin Zhongchun states: I have always loved medical books, regretting that I could not see more of them. While I was in Ningguo, having leisure time, Mr. Zhu Chunyu from Jiangxi, who had long known and associated with various medical practitioners and official families in Ningguo, brought some books for my inspection under the order of Rao Daozun. Only then did I realize the vastness and depth of medical literature. It is now arranged into over ten boxes, with titles marked for each box, so that benevolent persons may seek these books and broadly benefit all living beings. Rao Daozun, the Provincial Education Commissioner of Zhejiang, passionately loved medical texts and collected extensively. Ningguo Richu examined, verified, and corrected the collection daily, though not completing all volumes, he merely recorded the titles.
He further states: The title *Yi Cang Lu* (Catalogue of Medical Collections) is derived from the Buddha’s Dharma Treasury, established provisionally to save and deliver sentient beings. Nothing is more revered and respected by the world than Buddhist scriptures, nor is anything more widely beneficial. In the past, Yu Xin plagiarized Buddhist records to embellish his writing, resulting in karmic retribution. I borrow the name of the Tathagata’s Treasury to alleviate distress, just as Ji An issued grain to relieve famine under false imperial orders, and Emperor Wu of Han, though a wise ruler, did not punish him. Similarly, when the Zhou court ceased receiving tribute, Huan of Qi and Wen of Jin were compelled to command the feudal lords. Moreover, the Buddhist canon contains the Medicine Buddha Sutra; through worship, repentance, and chanting, one can attain coolness and liberation from calamity. The medical canon, similarly, may perhaps forgive worldly sins.
