【张氏(时彻)摄生众妙方】医藏目录十一卷 存
自序说:《内经》和《灵枢》,阐述养生宗旨非常详尽。然而竹简断烂腐蚀,博学之人也难以纠正其中的讹误;推演翻译其精微之处,浅薄之士只是剽窃其皮毛,流传越远,谬误的源头就越早确立。春秋以来,才有秦越人、阳庆、淳于意这类人,暗中传授禁方,隐居墙内知晓万物,施行治疗,都称为神妙。然而他们的术数和奇技,没有广泛传播。此后才有华佗,更加使用剖腹洗肠的技术,却遭遇不恰当的人,身死狱中,狱吏销毁文书,如同引火自焚,最终没有遗留下来。再往后才有李东垣、朱丹溪,未能窥见堂奥,颇沿袭支流末节,虽不能说能达神妙境界,也称得上是良师了。如今各医家所遵循学习的,大多是他们的综合整理而成的方剂。然而变化无穷,裁成各异,因时治疗,难道没有引申发挥的吗?我年少时多病,药物如美食般常备,有时自己生病,有时看到别人的病,就用那些方子,记录并收藏起来,久而久之便成了书册。物与我是一体的,忧喜共同承担,如果可以解除病患痛苦,调养元气,将疾步奔走告知众人,勤勉不懈,怎敢私自保密呢?于是分门别类,编排此书,交付刻工刊印。
钱谦益说:张尚书时彻,字惟静,鄞县人。嘉靖癸未年进士。曾任兵部武选主事,改任礼部仪制司,外放为提学副使。历任南京兵部尚书,因日本人犯境被召回。著有《芝园集》五十六卷。(见《列朝诗集小传》)
《四库全书提要》说:《摄生众妙方》十一卷,明代张时彻编撰。时彻字维静,鄞县人,嘉靖癸未年进士,官至南京兵部尚书。事迹附见于《明史·张邦奇传》。此编分为四十七门,标目繁碎。自序说:“每见治愈疾病的方子,就记录并收藏。”大概是随时抄录汇集而成,并不完备。
【急救良方】医藏目录二卷 存
自序大致说:从前得到一本急救方,经常随身携带,有时用来治疗自己,有时用来治疗他人,大多有应验的效果。偶尔有新得的方子,就按其类别附加进去。其中讹误无效者,删除剔除。于是交付刻工刊刻。
《四库全书提要》说:《急救良方》二卷,明代张时彻撰写。分为三十九门,专为荒村僻壤之中,不懂医术的人而设。所以药物选取容易求得的,方剂都简易,不太推究脉理。
【汪氏( )名医类案】国史经籍志十二卷 存
自序说:我读《褚氏遗书》,其中有说:“博涉知病,多诊识脉,屡用□药。”我曾抚卷认为这是名言。山居偏僻,广博阅历从何而来?于是广泛辑录古今名医治疗法奇异有效的案例,分类摘取,按世系采集人物,编写成书叫《名医类案》。这也是《褚氏遗书》中广博阅历的意思。自从三坟九丘湮没,方书繁杂而经典理论废弃,有人指着《素问》《难经》来对人说话,很少有不认为是迂腐的。医学之术日益泛滥,通晓经典学习古人,世间不多见了。昔日郑国公孙侨出使晋国,恰逢晋侯有病,占卜说:“实沈、台骀为祟。”史官不知道,就问公孙侨。公孙侨详细叙述高辛氏玄冥的遗事,参合汾水主封的缘故,四季调摄的道理,全国人都感到惊异,认为公孙侨是博物君子。太史公作《史记》,传记淳于意,详细记载他治病生死,主治姓名病情症状,诊候方脉,详尽无遗漏。大概是要分析同异穷尽变化,寻求符合神圣之道,以此作为万世的准则。轩辕、岐伯、俞跗、扁鹊的书,不只是虚妄怪诞罢了。现在我这部书,虽然不敢僭越比拟先哲,但阐明往古典范,昭示后来学者,既不违背圣经,又容易通达世俗,指引迷惑广见闻,或许差不多吧。学人好比用规矩去求班输(鲁班),用弓弩去求后羿,引申发挥,溯流穷源,推究常规将不可胜用。全书共十二卷,分一百八十多个门类,问答附在下面。
江应宿序大致说:先父清修力学,不被时世所容,怀抱医术攻治疾病,多次挽救人的危重疾病,未曾以医生自名。家中收藏禁方及诸子列传,大约百余十种。披阅适当,手抄以备遗忘,积累二十年,遂成此书。分门析类,共十二卷,条目二百多条。草创未竟,突然去世。我不肖,童年多病,在庭院中问难,颇契合其旨意。二十岁时奉方伯叔父之命前往滇南,随后游历吴越齐楚燕赵之间,广泛采集往哲奇异有效的案例,载回山中,担心先父文集未刊印,久而散失,于是取遗稿,编次补遗,经过十九年,凡五次修改抄写,再与兄长参互考订,勒成全书。
钱谦益说:江秀才廷莹,字廷莹,歙县人。王寅曰:廷莹早年精通经学,本是有用于世的才能,怀抱才华被废弃,放纵情感于诗歌,有九边论,遏籴书,仍未忘记用世之志。
杭世骏序说:《内经》以五运六气、三部九候,原生人的疾病,诊断有一定之法,针刺有一定之针,这所谓的“案”。雷公年幼小,辨别而不能明白,明白而不能彰显。阴阳二十五人,是先师的秘密,伯高不能完全知晓。天地动静,五行迁复,鬼臾区上候不能遍明。通晓阴阳,推演四时,把握五纪,将其言藏在金匮,将其对答写在玉版,尊以天师之号,而不相让。只有岐伯一人而已。岐伯千言万语,漫延极于六合。说:“无盛盛,无虚虚”,概括为两个字。这是《灵枢》《素问》的总纲。经所谓“实者泻之,虚者补之”,是对这两个字的注脚。这就是所谓的“言立”。言立而案存,后世虽有良医也不能改变。所谓南山可移,此案不可动也。秦越人、张仲景、皇甫谧、杨上善,导其源而更显扬。张洁古、刘河间、王海藏、李东垣,畅其流而更大明。末流稍分,人自为师,家自为学,能杀生人,而不能起死人。黄帝告雷公以十全,周礼医师,也说十全为上。《灵枢》说:上工十全其九,中工十全其七,下工十全其六。岐伯说:上工救病于萌芽,下工救其已成,救其已败。彼所谓中工,都是现在的上工。周礼:十失四为下,在今天还是中工。中工所不失者,也是侥幸得到的。案不足录,上工的案,则是可以保存的。明代嘉靖年间,休宁江秀才廷莹曾取历代名医已验证的案例,辑录为类案,儿子应斗、应宿补足完成。我看太史公传淳于意,则是意之医案。陈寿传华佗,则是佗之医案。李延寿传徐文伯,则是文伯之医。后史以医为小道,传记方术者,略而不书,而案中存于史的更少。诸医中的良者,自得其所术,幸而不终至于泯没。江氏广博地保存了它,心意良善。书久已残失,且字句讹谬。我的朋友魏玉横氏精于医术,能穷其源,附上己见,而论议不至混淆。鲍以文氏博于考索,能知其故,刊正讹字,而汤齐不致贻误。过而请序,我不知道医术,而能深见其理。这本书出来,是医学入门的阶梯。虚心玩味探索,由病以求其源,则轩辕、岐伯不难如隔墙相见。我告诉世间医者有三点:一曰审脉。自从伪王叔和的《脉诀》流行,左为人迎,右为气口,庸医奉为科律,这两句话不知其本源。《六节脏象论》说:人迎阳脉,气口阴脉,可言阴阳,不可言左右。人迎在结喉之左右,气口即寸口,也叫脉口,为诸脉之总汇,在手鱼际之后一寸。人迎有左右,气口亦有左右。明于人迎气口,则知四经十二从,以通于十二原,以贯于三百六十五气穴,三百六十五经络。所谓钩毛弦石溜,以及春弦夏钩秋浮冬营者,洞若观火。现在的医生不知脉。二曰辨药。神农用赭鞭鞭打草木,一日遇到七十毒,以身试,而著《本草经》,辨药之性。必须深明温凉平毒之性,而后得君臣佐使之用,固然如此。然而阴中有阳,阳中有阴,石药发癫,芳草发狂,辨别不易明白,知晓也不易详尽。如果不是陶弘景、陈藏器其人,未有不误用的。而现在的医生不知药。知脉矣,知药矣,我又加上一言,曰慎思。俗话说:医者意也。黄帝有问,岐伯即知道那人的病因。雷公有问,黄帝即知道那人的病因。以意决断。这就是黄帝岐伯的医案。如果病不应脉,当思其病;脉不应病,当思其脉;药不应病,当思其药。三者参合,思之又思,有不合的很少。医之有案,大概没有超出这三者。遵其道而用之,人人皆可以为良医,人人皆可立案,太和保合,使斯人各尽其天年,而不夭折于庸妄人之手。以鲍以文氏重刊之功,岂不伟大吗?我固不怕啰嗦地辨析,鲍以文氏说:你的辨析我知道,但不能脱口而出。何不尽情说出来。于是写下来作为序。(《道古堂集》)

[Shesheng Zhongmiao Fang (Collected Miraculous Prescriptions for Health Preservation) by Zhang (Shiche)] Yi Cang Mu Lu (Catalogue of Medical Treasures), 11 volumes. Extant.
Preface states: The Nei Jing (Inner Canon) and Ling Shu (Spiritual Pivot) elaborate extensively on the principles of health preservation. However, due to the decay and corrosion of bamboo slips, even the erudite cannot correct all errors; those who translate and interpret its subtleties often merely plagiarize superficial aspects from shallow scholars. As it spreads further, the initial distortions become more pronounced. Since the Spring and Autumn period, figures such as Qibo (Bian Que), Yang Qing, and Chunyu Yi secretly transmitted esoteric prescriptions, concealed themselves behind walls while understanding natural phenomena, and performed treatments that were hailed as miraculous. Yet their techniques and numerical arts were not widely disseminated. Later came Hua Tuo, who utilized skills like abdominal surgery and intestinal washing, but unfortunately encountered inappropriate circumstances, leading to his death in prison. Official records were destroyed, akin to self-immolation, leaving no legacy. Subsequently came Li Dongyuan and Zhu Danxi, who did not fully grasp the profound depths but followed secondary streams. Though not claiming divine insight, they were considered excellent teachers. The prescriptions currently followed by most physicians are largely synthesized from their works. However, variations are infinite, and adaptations differ. In treating according to the times, is there not room for extension and development? I suffered from frequent illnesses since youth, consuming medicines as if they were fine food. Whether I fell ill myself or observed others' ailments, I recorded and stored these prescriptions. Over time, this accumulated into a manuscript. Recognizing that all things and beings are interconnected, sharing joys and sorrows, if one can alleviate suffering and nourish the primordial harmony, one should eagerly share this knowledge with diligence. How could I keep it secret? Thus, I categorized and organized this book for publication.
Qian Qianyi stated: Minister Zhang Shiche, courtesy name Weijing, was from Yinxian. He passed the imperial examination in the Guiwei year of the Jiajing reign. He served as Director of Military Selection in the Ministry of War, later transferred to the Ritual System Department of the Ministry of Rites, and was sent out as Deputy Education Commissioner. He eventually rose to Minister of War in Nanjing but was recalled due to Japanese incursions. He authored the Zhi Yuan Ji (Collection from the Mushroom Garden), 56 volumes. (See Lie Chao Ji)
The Siku Quanshu (Complete Library of the Four Treasuries) Abstract states: Shesheng Zhongmiao Fang (Collected Miraculous Prescriptions for Health Preservation), 11 volumes, compiled by Zhang Shiche of the Ming Dynasty. Zhang, courtesy name Weijing, was from Yinxian, passed the exam in the Guiwei year of Jiajing, and attained the rank of Minister of War in Nanjing. His biography is appended to that of Zhang Bangqi in the History of Ming. This work is divided into 47 categories, with detailed headings. The preface mentions: "Whenever I encountered a prescription that cured an illness, I recorded and stored it." It appears to be a collection assembled over time, rather than comprehensive.
[Jiujie Liangfang (Good Prescriptions for Emergency Rescue)] Yi Cang Mu Lu, 2 volumes. Extant.
Preface briefly states: Previously, I obtained a book of emergency prescriptions, which I always carried with me. I used them to treat myself or others, achieving many successful results. Occasionally, I acquired new prescriptions, adding them to relevant categories. Those found to be erroneous or ineffective were deleted. I then had them printed.
The Siku Quanshu Abstract states: Jiujie Liangfang (Good Prescriptions for Emergency Rescue), 2 volumes, written by Zhang Shiche of the Ming Dynasty. Divided into 39 categories, specifically designed for people in remote villages who lack medical knowledge. Therefore, the herbs selected are easy to obtain, and the prescriptions are simple, without extensive analysis of pulse patterns.
[Mingyi Leian (Classified Cases of Famous Physicians) by Wang ( )] Guoshi Jingji Zhi, 12 volumes. Extant.
Preface states: Reading the Chu Shi Yi Shu (Remnants of Master Chu), I encountered the saying: "Extensive study helps understand diseases; frequent diagnosis helps recognize pulses; repeated use [of drugs]..." I often stroked the scroll, considering these words profound. Living in seclusion in the mountains, how could I gain broad experience? Thus, I extensively collected records of miraculous treatments by famous physicians throughout history, categorizing them by disease and listing individuals by era, compiling this book titled Mingyi Leian. This follows the spirit of broad experience advocated by Master Chu. Since the loss of ancient texts like San Fen and Jiu Qiu, and the proliferation of prescription books at the expense of canonical theories, pointing to the Su Wen and Nan Jing to explain matters is rarely accepted, often deemed pedantic. Medical practice has become increasingly fragmented; those who master classics and learn from antiquity are rare. In the past, when Gongsun Qiao of Zheng visited Jin, the Marquis of Jin fell ill. Divination indicated spirits of Shichen and Taitai were causing harm. The historian did not know the cause but asked Qiao. Qiao explained the legacy of Xuanming from the Gaoxin lineage, the connection to the Fen River deity, and the principles of seasonal regulation. The entire state was amazed, regarding Qiao as a man of vast learning. Sima Qian, in writing the Records of the Grand Historian, biographed Chunyu Yi, detailing his cures, deaths, patient names, symptoms, diagnoses, and prescriptions, leaving nothing out. This was likely to analyze similarities and differences, exhaust changes, seek alignment with sacred ways, and establish standards for eternity. The works of Xuanyuan, Qibo, Yu Fu, and Bian Que are not mere fantastical tales. Although I dare not presume to emulate ancient sages in this compilation, by clarifying past examples and illuminating future learners, staying true to sacred texts yet accessible to contemporary customs, guiding the lost and expanding vision, perhaps this achieves something. Scholars might compare using rules to seek Ban Shu (Lu Ban), or using bows to seek Hou Yi, extending and deriving principles, tracing sources, and applying norms will yield inexhaustible utility. The book comprises 12 volumes, with over 180 categories, questions and answers attached below.
Jiang Yingsu's Preface briefly states: My late father cultivated himself diligently and studied hard but was not favored by his time. He possessed medical skills, frequently saving people from critical conditions, yet never sought fame as a physician. Our family collection included over a hundred esoteric prescriptions and biographies of various masters. After careful reading, I copied them by hand to prevent forgetting. Accumulated over twenty years, this became the present book. Categorized into 12 volumes with over 200 entries, it was unfinished when he suddenly passed away. Unworthy as I am, having been sickly in childhood, I learned much from questioning him in the courtyard. At twenty, I accompanied my uncle to Yunnan, then traveled through Wu, Yue, Qi, Chu, Yan, and Zhao, collecting miraculous cases from past masters. Returning to the mountains, fearing my father's manuscripts would be lost, I edited and supplemented the drafts. Over nineteen years, revising five times, and consulting with my elder brother, we finalized the complete work.
Qian Qianyi stated: Scholar Jiang Tingying, courtesy name Tingying, was from Huizhou. Wang Yin said: Tingying mastered the classics in his youth, possessing talents for governance, but was discarded. He indulged in poetry, wrote treatises on border defenses and grain control, never forgetting his ambition to serve the world.
Hang Shijun's Preface states: The Nei Jing uses Five Movements and Six Qi, Three Parts and Nine Positions to originate human diseases. Diagnosis has fixed methods, acupuncture has fixed points—this is what is meant by "cases" (An). Leigong was young and could not clearly distinguish or manifest understanding. The Twenty-Five Constitutions based on Yin-Yang are the secret teachings of the First Master, which Bogao could not fully comprehend. Heaven and earth move, Five Elements shift; Gui Yuqu could not fully clarify upper observations. Understanding Yin-Yang, deducing Four Seasons, grasping Five Periods, hiding words in golden casseroles, recording dialogues on jade tablets, honored with the title Heavenly Teacher, none could rival Qibo alone. Qibo spoke thousands of words, spreading across the six directions. He said: "Do not reinforce excess; do not deplete deficiency," summarized in two phrases. This is the core of Ling Shu and Su Wen. The classic states: "Tonify deficiency; Drain excess." These two phrases annotate that principle. When words stand, cases remain. Even skilled physicians later cannot change them. As Mount Nan may shift, these cases cannot. Qin Yueren, Zhang Zhongjing, Huangfu Mi, and Yang Shangshan clarified the source. Zhang Jiejing, Liu Wanhe, Wang Haicang, and Li Dongyuan expanded the flow. Later generations diverged, each becoming their own teacher and school. Some could kill but not revive. Huangdi advised Leigong on perfection (Ten Complete); Zhou Li physicians also regarded Ten Complete as superior. Ling Shu states: Superior physicians achieve nine out of ten; average physicians seven; inferior physicians six. Qibo said: Superior physicians treat disease at the sprout stage; inferior physicians treat established or failed disease. The so-called average physicians of old are today's superior physicians. Zhou Li: Four errors out of ten make one inferior; today, this is still average. Average physicians rarely err, which is fortunate. Such cases are insufficient to record; only superior physicians' cases are worth preserving. During the Jiajing reign of Ming, Scholar Jiang Minying of Xiuning collected verified cases of famous physicians throughout history into classified cases. His sons Yingdou and Yingsu completed it. Observing Sima Qian's biography of Chunyu Yi, these are Yi's medical cases. Chen Shou's biography of Hua Tuo represents Tuo's cases. Li Yanshou's biography of Xu Wenbo represents Wenbo's medicine. Later histories treated medicine as a minor art, omitting biographers of magic arts, so historical cases became scarce. Good physicians preserved their techniques, fortunately not disappearing entirely. Jiang's compilation preserved them comprehensively, a good intention. The book was long damaged and corrupted. My friend Wei Yuheng excelled in medicine, traced origins, added his views without confusion. Bao Yiwen was knowledgeable in research, corrected errors, preventing mistakes. Requesting a preface, though I do not know medicine, I deeply appreciate its logic. This book is a ladder for entering medicine. Studying sincerely, tracing disease to its source, one can meet Xuanyuan and Qibo as if face-to-face. I advise three points to physicians: First, examine the pulse. Since the false Mai Jue (Pulse Classic) attributed to Wang Shuhe circulated, claiming Left is Renying and Right is Qikou, mediocre physicians adopted this as law, unaware of its origin. Liu Jie Zang Xiang Lun states: Renying is Yang pulse, Qikou is Yin pulse; discussing Yin-Yang is valid, not Left-Right. Renying is left and right of the larynx; Qikou is Cun Kou, also called Mai Kou, the convergence of all pulses, one inch behind the thenar eminence. Both have left and right sides. Understanding Renying and Qikou reveals the Four Meridians and Twelve Conformities, connecting to Twelve Source Points and 365 Acupoints and meridians. Terms like Hook, Hair, String, Stone, Slip, and Spring String, Summer Hook, Autumn Float, Winter Deep become clear as fire. Modern physicians ignore pulses. Second, differentiate herbs. Shennong tested herbs with a red whip, encountering seventy poisons in a day, establishing Ben Cao Jing to differentiate herb properties. One must deeply understand warm, cool, neutral, and toxic properties to apply Sovereign, Minister, Assistant, and Courier roles. Indeed, Yin contains Yang, and Yang contains Yin; mineral drugs cause madness, fragrant herbs cause insanity. Differentiation is difficult; knowledge is incomplete. Without figures like Tao Hongjing or Chen Zangqi, misuse is common. Modern physicians ignore herbs. Having understood pulses and herbs, I add a third point: Prudent reflection. Saying goes: Medicine is intent. When Huangdi asked, Qibo knew the cause; when Leigong asked, Huangdi knew the cause. This intuitive decision-making constitutes the medical cases of Huangdi and Qibo. If symptoms do not match the pulse, ponder the disease; if pulse does not match disease, ponder the pulse; if medicine does not match disease, ponder the medicine. Integrating these three and reflecting deeply, mismatches will be rare. Medical cases generally encompass these three aspects. Following this path, everyone can become a good physician and create cases, ensuring harmony and longevity, avoiding premature death at the hands of incompetent practitioners. Bao Yiwen's reprinting merit is great. I do not fear being verbose in辨析. Bao Yiwen said: I know your辨析 but cannot articulate it. Please speak fully. Thus, I write this preface. (Daogu Tang Ji)
The Siku Quanshu Abstract states: Mingyi Leian (Classified Cases of Famous Physicians), 12 volumes, compiled by Jiang Guan of the Ming Dynasty, supplemented by his son Yingsu. Guan, courtesy name Minying, was a student from Huixian. He turned to medicine after falling ill. Yingsu inherited the profession. Completed in the Jiyi year of Jiajing, it collects verified treatments from Qin Yueren, Chunyu Yi, Hua Tuo in Records of the Grand Historian and Romance of the Three Kingdoms, up to Yuan and Ming masters, almost comprehensively. Divided into 205 categories, evaluating condition and prescriptions. Guan's comments are interspersed. For example, in the Cold Damage category, Xu Shuwei treated constipation with sweating; physicians argued Yangming spontaneous sweating leaked fluids, suggesting honey suppositories, but Shuwei used Da Chaihu Decoction successfully. Guan argued honey suppositories were safer. In the Bladder Displacement category, Zhu Zhenheng treated pregnancy pressure on the bladder by having the midwife lift the fetus; Guan criticized this method as inaccurate. Such corrections are numerous and precise. However, in the Corpse Stupefaction category, needle verification quotes and stories from Xiyang Zasuz about Goguryeo people involving hair voids are irrelevant to treatment. In the Difficult Birth category, citing Jiao Shi Lei Lin about Yu Fakai ordering pregnant women to eat fatty lamb slices before needling is unclear in meaning and acupoint selection, merely expanding exotic tales without medical benefit. These reflect a tendency towards eclecticism and curiosity. Nevertheless, ninety percent provide models, serving as legal precedents for physicians. Initially unpublished, after Guan's death, Yingsu added Guan's cases and his own. Plates wore out; recently, Bao Tingbo of Huixian republished. Annotations attributed to Guan were actually added by Wei Zhi. Zhi, courtesy name Yuheng, was from Qiantang.
[Xu Mingyi Leian (Continued Classified Cases of Famous Physicians) by Wei (Zhi)] 60 volumes. Not seen.
Hang Shijun's Preface states: Huangdi said one cannot revive the dead but should not kill the living. Bian Que elaborated: once disease is established, even Huangdi and Bian Que cannot save them. If there is no disease or slight illness, and mistaken acupuncture or medication leads to incurable states, it is the fault of crude physicians. Yet patients' families blame fate and numbers, while crude physicians justify themselves, claiming effort, ignoring the victim's inability to endure. The world is vast, time is long, crude physicians are numerous. Counting daily victims of malicious hands, listing names and keeping cases, compared to judicial records, the difference is tenfold or thousand-fold, uncountable. Fortunately, they hide these cases, letting them vanish like wind or yin fire, unknown to the world. A few superior physicians, with careful pulse diagnosis, appropriate acupuncture, and cautious prescriptions, meet fortunate patients with long lifespans, reviving the paralyzed. They joyfully discuss successes, recording them as cases. From Song to now, hundreds of families treasure formulas and mystify techniques, whispering and listening attentively. Hang Zi says: Alas, how self-satisfied they are! Analyzing humans by Yin-Yang, there are twenty-five constitutions; each person has corresponding diseases and doctors. Doctors knowing the person, time, and pulse, guiding according to trends, are close to Huangdi and Bian Que. Not reading their books but attempting their techniques kills the living and fails to save the dead. Saying goes: Learning medicine costs much. Human types are many, up to twenty-five, yet killing by medicine is uniform. Better not to learn. How to learn? Read Huangdi and Bian Que's books. Are they alive? No. But classified cases exist, elucidating their principles. If cases survive, one may say Huangdi and Bian Que live on. Jiang Huannan collected and published past masters' cases; my friend Wei Yuheng expanded them. Crude physicians see them as stale straw dogs; Hang Zi sees them as introductory guides for physicians. Why? Because Yuheng can read Huangdi and Bian Que. Clay molding requires a mold; cutting a handle requires a template. Using these as standards for learning medicine covers half the task. What more is needed for medical cases? (Daogu Tang Ji)
The Siku Quanshu Abstract states: Xu Mingyi Leian (Continued Classified Cases of Famous Physicians), 60 volumes, written by Wei Zhi of the Qing Dynasty. After collating Jiang Guan's Mingyi Leian, finding it incomplete, Zhi continued this work, mixing recent medical books, histories, local gazetteers, essays, and notes, categorizing them. Mostly Ming dynasty events, supplementing some ancient omissions. Thus, it is comprehensive, not discarding small details. For instance, in the Epidemic category, a story of a god teaching Xiangsu San is kept for the formula. In the Foot Disease category, a story of Zhang Wending cured by two mung beans from a Daoist is included, though mung beans are ordinary food, making it questionable as a case. In the Metal Wound category, a story of Xue Yi Daoren reattaching a severed head to revive someone lacks medicine or formula, merely telling strange tales, unrelated to medicine. Such instances are common, showing clutter. In the Insect and Beast Injury category, noting Xue Lizhai's case of an insect in the ear, stating it's also in the Ear category to avoid duplication because sufferers might not know it's an insect, seems redundant. In the Abdominal Disease category, a case of a Jintai man going mad and jumping into a well after mistakenly taking Ganjiang Lizhong Wan repeats five or six pages later, raising questions about editorial logic. Compilation is somewhat careless. However, broad collection and varied manifestations allow mutual reference with Jiang Guan's work. Attached comments offer significant clarification and refutation, differing from empty theoretical talk by providing evidence versus speculation.
