〔丁氏（凤）医方集宜〕明志十卷 存世
丁明登作序说：我家自祖上以来，都精通医术。洪武年间，我的祖父仲宝老人因年高德劭被乡里推崇。他受京兆府委派代理本县事务时间最长。他的神异事迹很多。成化年间，我的祖父德刚，在江边芦苇丛生的地方常有老虎肆虐。德刚老人写文章祭祀它们，老虎便渡江离去，当地于是没有虎患。他又曾归还别人遗失的黄金，至今乡里人谈起祭虎还金的事，仍津津乐道。其他行事，详见庐陵孙公鼎所作的传记中。到了我的伯远祖父，在龙洞山中读书，遇到异人传授秘方。后来他在朝城任职，九年退休。他交往的朋友迎接他游历燕京，当时在朝的各位老臣，如刘大夏、屠镛、钟、曾鉴、顾佐、潘祯等人，敬重他的品德，愉快地与他唱和。诗篇很多。大概几代人都擅长救人的妙术。他们遗留的方剂和秘密简牍，历经朝代更迭，也颇为散失。等到我的王大父竹溪翕，精心聪慧地开始搜罗残存的书籍并加以表彰。参考古方，增加自己验证有效的内容，汇编成书。共有十卷。这本书首先论述病源，其次论述形体症状，再次论述脉法，而治疗方法、方剂和治疗效果又次之。一翻开书，病人的情况与用药的会意之处，就了然于掌。他曾说：医者在于意念，意念在于适宜。因此取名《集宜》。但这散乱的篇章旧藏于箱箧之中，我担心它久藏而逐渐散失，使前人的一片救人之心，湮没不传，我不忍心。况且福建地区极少医药，用祈祷祭祀代替针灸砭石，用巫师充当医生。一旦有寒暑霜露带来的疾病，束手无策，何况是大病呢。于是谋划刻印此书，以广泛流传。只有我的王大父以仁心为本性，天性孝顺友爱，忠诚不欺。其他的不详细论述，只论其细微之处。对于凡是贫穷困难的人来乞求医药，他慷慨资助，委婉安慰，不停止。又谆谆嘱咐期望他们再来，告诉一定不会有自卑感，殷切地回应而没有疲倦的神色。唉，这是什么心肠呢？谨慎地运用这种医术前行，就一定不会遗漏细微之处，就会哀怜这些孤苦之人。这真是王大父“良相良医”言论的真知灼见啊。我因此叙述这本书，并一并提及他推行的大致情况，以显示我的王大父苦心救人的心意，不仅仅是抄袭古人的绪论，以延续岐黄一脉罢了。
按：这本书，明志记载原为丁毅所著，然而丁毅就是丁明登序中所说的德刚。现在经过改订。
〔王氏（文禄）医先〕一卷 存世
题词说：上医治未病，不治已病。治未病，容易且无痕迹；治已病，劳苦却无效。所以治未病的人，常被忽视，而已病的人，才开始求医。医生虽然高明，对已成之病又能怎样呢？膏肓之喻令人惋惜。自秦以前，典籍完备，学术出于一统，修养德行与养生没有两样。秦以后，坑儒焚书，灰烬殆尽，幸好《素问》还能流传。学者抛弃而不讲习，目为伪作。大概不知道其中多参赞天地至理之言，非圣人不能做到。况且天子以至庶民，以修身为根本，哪有遗弃自身却能治理天下的呢？这在于尽早辨别罢了。于是作《医先》。大概是在未病之前医治它，不施用饵剂砭针，共同达到仁寿的境界。读者或许可以以此察看我用心，岂止是说“不为良相，当为良医”而已。嘉靖庚戌年夏五月十六日，海盐沂阳生王文禄。
海盐县图经说：王文禄，字世廉。年轻时考中乡荐，多次参加礼部考试不第。为人廉洁高尚，从未以私事求人。遇到不平之事，叱骂不避权贵。每户出三百钱请编入役，如同百姓协助县令完成均田法。性格嗜好书籍，听说人有异书，倾尽囊资购买募集，得到后必定亲手校勘，缥缃万卷，放置在一座楼上。不久失火，大哭说：只要尽力救书的人赏赐，其他的不要管了。所著的有《艺草》、《邱陵学山》、《邑文献志》、《卫志》。

〔薛氏医案〕七十八卷 存世
四库全书提要说：《薛氏医案》七十八卷，明代薛己撰。薛己字立斋，吴县人。这本书共六十卷。薛己自己所著的，有《外科枢要》四卷，《原机启微》三卷，《内科摘要》二卷，《女科提要》二卷，《疠疡机要》三卷，《正体类要》二卷，《保婴粹要》一卷，《口齿类要》一卷，《保婴金镜录》一卷。他所订定旧本，附上自己说法的，有陈自明《妇人良方》二十四卷，《外科精要》三卷，王纶《明医杂着》六卷，钱乙《小儿直诀》四卷，陈文仲《小儿痘疹方》一卷，杜本《伤寒金镜录》一卷，以及他父亲薛铠《保婴掇要》二十卷。初刻于秀水沈氏，版片已残缺。天启丁卯年朱明重新刊刻。前有《明纪事》一篇，记载薛己生病困顿时，梦见自己教给他方药，服用后痊愈。又梦见自己请求刻印此书，事情很奇怪，但精神专注，魂魄依托，也是情理之中，不妨保留这个说法。薛己本是疡医（外科医生），后来才以内科闻名。年老时，最终因疡病去世。诋毁他的人，认为补益之弊，终于导致自我戕害。然而薛己治病务必探求本源，使用八味丸、六味丸，直接补益真阳真阴，以滋养化源，这实际上是由薛己开创的。他治病多用古方，而出入加减，具有至理，多在一两味药之间，见到神妙变化之巧。其后赵献可作《医贯》，执守他的成法，于是用八味、六味通治各病，甚至用六味丸治疗伤寒之渴，胶柱鼓瑟，流弊遂多。徐大椿因此将过失归于薛己，其实并非薛己的本意，不能因为李斯的原因归罪于荀卿。世间所行的，另有一本，增加了《十四经发挥》等书，实际并非薛己所著，也非薛己所校。大概是书商为了耳目一新，滥行增入，就像东垣十书、河间六书，泛收他人作品以凑足数量，确实不如这一本所载的都是薛己原书。

〔贺氏（岳）明医会要〕二卷 未见
钱琦作序说：贺君岳年少时学习儒家经典，因为母亲患风病，遍求医生，医生都不能治愈。于是愤慨地说：母亲病不好，儿子学儒做什么。于是购尽医家书籍阅读。过了一年说：我知道如何治疗我母亲的病了。最终侍奉周旋，母亲享高寿。又得到苏医王氏惟雍的传授，技艺更加精湛。乡里人生病，就去向贺君求治，治疗往往有效。他的门庭到傍晚，拥挤聚集。从此全县乃至全郡，从县侯以下，都召见他没有空闲的日子。藩臬间的医生，必以贺君为对答对象。缙绅游历郡下，也必迎贺君前往。因此贺君的名声传播更广。贺君偶尔阅读古方书，久而久之欣然意会，汇编成册，题名为《明医会要》。县侯魏公，精通医术，心里喜欢它，还没来得及刻印，就被提拔调离。恰逢旧县侯夏公在海防备兵，于是授命指挥李元律刻印发行，嘱托我为之作序。我起身感叹说：饥寒之病，常比政事更甚；羸弱之民，常比医术更甚。古代著名的医者，轩辕、岐伯之下，有如尹咸、张刘等人，起死回生，国家命运赖以长寿。所以说上医医国，难道他们的技艺独神奇吗？是将他们精通业务，特异乎常人。正因为精通所以有名。当今号称医家的人，不知道《素问》、《难经》、《灵枢》是什么书，在下者则借此谋取利益，百人中没有一个良医。唯有贺君以儒业医，而著述如此流传。人们把医比作宰相，说能利万物。我私下怀疑这话过分了。恩惠永存，宰相的功业也是这样吗？自从两位县侯相继治理我县，上下感激他们的恩德，高兴我们百姓不因政事致病，如今阅读这本书，也像政事一样。又高兴我们百姓不因医术致病，因此为之作序。（出自《临江先生集》）

凡例说：贺岳曾编辑《明医会要》，已经刻印流行。人们很喜欢。然后又编纂《医经大旨》，不是有其他疑惑而重复。蒙郡主刘公访求贺岳，颇谙医术，发现书中群书内容，督促采集。只惭愧自己老钝疏庸，怎敢违背。于是勉强遵奉，谨摘历代诸贤的要语，稍加润色，以归于统一。其中金石古怪燥毒劫药，全部删削不存，害怕祸害人。不敢自以为是，条例在后面。志同道合者乞求指正，不要嘲笑我狂妄浅薄，幸甚。
〔皇甫氏（中）明医指掌图〕医藏目录十卷 存世
张鏊作序说：我的门人皇甫山及其弟皇甫嵩岱，都是仁和有名的士人。分别十年后，皇甫山来拜谒金陵，手捧一书。阅读，是《明医指掌图》。说：皇甫山为此书三代人了，甲之也是三代人了。自从他的祖父菊泉治轩岐，收集履历经验效具，蒙斋氏作《伤寒指掌书》，而云洲翁完成它。大概是为了广博指掌。图参合《内经》，博采古哲遗方，变通不泥古。大约一年后而成。为卷若干。首列歌赋，以概括百病，便于记忆诵读。又为笺注以探究病因，决断疑惑。继之以诊视，判断生死标本，使人观察。又继之以形证和方剂，印证确切而药剂优良。而且法度工巧异能巧妙，可想而知。武林灵秀之地，汇聚人物艺文之美，如果不是长久且专门从事此业，怎能成就此书。云洲翁传授给他的儿子岫冈，于是皇甫山以此质问我：某小子不敏，重堕先志，愿一言以永其传。唉！驺虞麟趾之德，世间不常有。常情如果矜夸一善，不为钻核取利的很少。杭州人以医称皇甫氏很久，皇甫氏父子祖孙，醇厚谨慎无间，喜好急人之难，以至于忘记寝食寒暑，不计较报酬。反而以此刻印嘉惠世人，这是想让天下人都通过医而长寿，而医都达到良且圣的境界。君子怎么能不赞同呢。

自记说：我的祖父釜山先生笃志艺林，驰誉江左。登门问业的人，多有显贵。而再入科举不利，最终以布衣老去。我的父亲幼时敏慧，祖父非常喜爱，希望他早日有成。没想到祖父忽然遭遇疾病，治疗不能痊愈。临终遗命对我父亲说：你如果不能成为良相，那就做良医。不久我父亲兼失依靠，阻碍参加有司考试，于是改业从医，自号念山。五十年来，颇以医术闻名于世。吴城内外，老幼男女，患伤寒痘疹的，得到我父亲救治即全活，难以计数。我不肖，身体虚弱而多病，力不能终举子业。我父亲即命我放弃，训读岐黄诸书。像这样几乎经历几个寒暑。稍有所得，就拿出云洲翁所著的《明医指掌》，示给我说：先前你所学习的仲景伤寒、东垣内伤、河间热病、丹溪杂病，这是学问的广博。简约而精粹则有这本书。你要宗法它。我恭敬接受命令，朝夕研读考证，才明白其宗旨。真所谓抉发秘密钧玄，远绍诸家之说，分标治本，阐明运气之宜。很好。所微憾的是，拘泥于图而局限论述，显于证候而晦涩于脉象，详于方剂而略于方法。翻检尚有迂回。于是冒昧探究其所载，目则分之以门，方则聚之以类，而附列歌注，各自加入自己的意思，使学人能因脉辨证，缘证施治，弹指顷便度过津梁。而我亦借此多所解悟。盖我不幸，不生先生之世，犹幸去先生之世未远，可以私淑门墙也。当世钜公，愿共鉴之。天启二年九月吉日，长洲后学邵达行甫谨述。

自序说：昔日上古之世，混沌未开，百姓不夭折早亡。其后风气渐开，情窦日启，疾病产生。黄帝怜悯，济以医药，而《内经》作成。后世沿袭它，直到秦汉唐宋以下，代代不乏其人，记载在简篇上，汗牛充栋。都以神化其术，妙用其用，而使天下后世达到仁寿境界。春甫家世业儒，常读《素问》诸书，颇探索其医之奥义。隐然而义理微茫，精渗错别，甲可乙否，莫知适从。所以畏惧浩繁，撮拾残言，谓之快捷方式。致使本源根核，无所稽考。其不混淆圣经，而戕害民生的，几乎没有。我不自惭愚陋，以平素按《内经》治验，诸子折衷，及搜求历世圣贤之旨，合群书而不遗，析诸方而不紊，舍非取是，类聚条分，共厘百卷。题名为《古今医统》。大概采集上古之法，以至于历代良医，而兼总于今日。统集异同，井然区别，汇成编帙，粲乎可观。庶几厌繁者有所归，趋简者无少失。一翻开书，医的法制权衡，始终本末，如视诸掌。其于养生，不无小补。若谓全书曰非阙典，则犹俟于贤知者焉。嘉靖丙辰年仲冬至日，新安徐春甫序。

Ding Mingdeng wrote a preface stating: "My family has been proficient in medicine since ancient times. During the Hongwu reign, my grandfather, Elder Zhongbao, was highly regarded in the village for his seniority and virtue. He served as the acting magistrate of our county under the appointment of the Capital Prefecture for the longest period. His miraculous deeds were numerous. During the Chenghua reign, my grandfather Degang encountered frequent tiger attacks in the reed thickets by the riverbank. Grandfather Degang wrote an essay to sacrifice to them, and the tigers crossed the river and left, ending the tiger plague in the area. He once returned gold lost by others; even today, villagers still speak enthusiastically about the stories of sacrificing to tigers and returning gold. Other deeds are detailed in the biography written by Sun Ding of Luling. My great-granduncle Boyuan studied in Longdong Mountain and received secret formulas from an extraordinary person. Later, he served in Chaocheng and retired after nine years. His friends welcomed him to travel to Beijing. The senior officials in court at that time, such as Liu Daxia, Tu Yong, Zhong, Zeng Jian, Gu Zuo, and Pan Zhen, respected his character and happily exchanged poems with him. There were many poems. It seems that generations of our family excelled in the wonderful art of saving lives. Their legacy of formulas and secret manuscripts had scattered over dynastic changes. When my great-grandfather Zhuxi Xi carefully collected the remaining books and promoted them, referencing ancient formulas and adding those verified by himself, they were compiled into a book of ten volumes. The book first discusses disease origins, then physical symptoms, then pulse methods, followed by treatment methods, formulas, and therapeutic effects. Upon opening the book, the patient's condition and the rationale behind medication use are clear at a glance. He once said, 'The physician relies on intention; intention lies in appropriateness.' Hence the title *Ji Yi* (Collection of Suitability). However, these scattered chapters were hidden in chests. I feared they would be lost over time, causing the previous generation's compassionate heart to save lives to be forgotten, which I could not bear. Moreover, medical resources are scarce in Fujian, where prayer and sacrifice replace acupuncture and bian stones, and shamans act as doctors. When faced with diseases caused by cold, heat, frost, or dew, people are helpless, let alone serious illnesses. Thus, I planned to print this book to spread it widely. My great-grandfather possessed a benevolent heart as his nature, filial piety and fraternal duty by birth, and loyalty without deceit. I will not discuss other matters in detail, but only mention minor points. For poor and difficult people seeking medicine, he generously provided funds and comforted them gently until satisfied. He earnestly encouraged them to return, assuring them never to feel discouraged, responding diligently without fatigue. Alas, what kind of heart is this? If one cautiously applies this medical art, one will not neglect trivialities and will pity the orphaned and widowed. This is truly insightful commentary on the 'good minister and good doctor' theory of my great-grandfather. Therefore, I narrate this book and briefly describe its implementation to show my great-grandfather's painstaking intent to help others, not merely copying ancient theories to continue the Qi-Huang lineage.
Note: This book was originally authored by Ding Yi according to *Ming Zhi*, but Ding Yi is Degang mentioned in Ding Mingdeng's preface. It has now been revised."
*[Wang Shi (Wenlu) Yi Xian]* (Medical Primer by Wang Wenlu), one volume. Extant.
Inscription states: "The superior doctor treats disease before it arises, not after it has arisen. Treating disease before it arises is easy and leaves no trace; treating disease after it arises is laborious and often ineffective. Therefore, those who treat disease before it arises are often ignored, while those with existing diseases seek doctors. Even if the doctor is excellent, what can be done against established disease? The metaphor of Gaohuang (deep-seated disease) is regrettable. Before the Qin dynasty, classics were complete, learning was unified, and cultivating virtue and health were inseparable. After the Qin dynasty, books were burned, and fortunately, the *Suwen* survived. Scholars abandoned it, calling it a forgery, not realizing it contains profound words assisting creation, which only sages can produce. From the emperor to commoners, self-cultivation is fundamental; how can one govern the world while neglecting oneself? One must distinguish early. Thus, *Yi Xian* was written. It aims to treat disease before it arises, without using drugs, needles, or stones, helping everyone reach the realm of benevolence and longevity. Readers may understand my intent from this, which goes beyond saying 'if not a good minister, then a good doctor.' On the sixteenth day of the fifth month of the summer of Gengxu in the Jiajing era, Wang Wenlu of Haiyan, born in Yiyang."
*Haiyan County Gazetteer* states: "Wang Wenlu, courtesy name Shilian. He passed the provincial examination when young but failed multiple times in the metropolitan examinations. He lived with integrity and never asked others for private favors. When encountering injustice, he cursed and scolded without avoiding powerful nobles. Each household contributed three hundred coins for corvée labor, similar to citizens assisting the county magistrate in implementing the equal-field system. He loved books; upon hearing of rare books, he spent all his money to buy them, always proofreading them by hand. He stored tens of thousands of scrolls on a tower. Once, a fire broke out, and he cried bitterly, saying, 'Reward anyone who helps save the books, ignore everything else.' His works include *Yi Cao*, *Qiuling Xueshan*, *Yi Wenxian Zhi*, and *Wei Zhi*."

*Siku Quanshu Tiyao* states: "*Xue Shi Yi An* consists of seventy-eight volumes, written by Xue Ji of the Ming Dynasty. Xue Ji, courtesy name Lizhai, was from Wu County. The book comprises sixty volumes. Those authored by Xue Ji himself include *Wai Ke Shu Yao* (Essentials of Surgery), four volumes; *Yuan Ji Qi Wei* (Opening the Mechanism and Revealing Subtleties), three volumes; *Nei Ke Yao Miao* (Essentials of Internal Medicine), two volumes; *Nü Ke Ti Yao* (Essentials of Gynecology), two volumes; *Li Yang Ji Yao* (Essentials of Leprosy and Ulcers), three volumes; *Zheng Ti Lei Yao* (Classified Essentials of Trauma), two volumes; *Bao Ying Cui Yao* (Essentials of Infant Care), one volume; *Kou Chi Lei Yao* (Essentials of Mouth and Teeth), one volume; and *Bao Ying Jin Jing Lu* (Golden Mirror Record for Infant Care), one volume. Those he revised from old texts with his own comments include Chen Ziming's *Fu Ren Liang Fang* (Good Formulas for Women), twenty-four volumes; *Wai Ke Jing Yao* (Essentials of Surgery), three volumes; Wang Lun's *Ming Yi Za Zhuo* (Miscellaneous Writings of Bright Physicians), six volumes; Qian Yi's *Xiao Er Zhi Jue* (Direct Instructions for Children), four volumes; Chen Wenzhong's *Xiao Er Dou Zhen Fang* (Formulas for Smallpox and Measles in Children), one volume; Du Ben's *Shang Han Jin Jing Lu* (Golden Mirror Record for Cold Damage), one volume; and his father Xue Kai's *Bao Ying Duo Yao* (Extracted Essentials for Infant Care), twenty volumes. First printed by the Shen family in Xiushui, the blocks were damaged. In the Dingmao year of Tianqi, Zhu Ming republished it. A preceding article *Ming Ji Shi* records that when Xue Ji was ill, he dreamed of himself teaching him formulas, which cured him. He also dreamed of requesting the printing of this book. Although strange, it reflects spiritual focus and soul reliance, so it is reasonable to preserve this account. Xue Ji was originally a surgeon but later became famous for internal medicine. In his old age, he died of a surgical disease. Critics argued that the弊端 of tonification led to self-harm. However, Xue Ji sought the root cause in treatment, using Bawei Wan (Eight-Ingredient Pill) and Liuwei Wan (Six-Ingredient Pill) to directly tonify True Yang and True Yin, nourishing the source of transformation. This was actually initiated by Xue Ji. He mostly used ancient formulas, with modifications that were highly logical, often changing just one or two herbs, demonstrating subtle and magical variations. Later, Zhao Xianke wrote *Yi Guan*, adhering strictly to his methods, using Bawei and Liuwei to treat various diseases indiscriminately, even using Liuwei Wan for thirst in Shanghan (Cold Damage). This rigid application led to many adverse effects. Xu Dachun attributed these faults to Xue Ji, but this was not Xue Ji's original intent. One should not blame Xun Qing because of Li Si. The version circulating in the world is different, adding books like *Shi Si Jing Fa Hui* (Elaboration on the Fourteen Meridians), which were neither authored nor edited by Xue Ji. Book merchants likely added them for novelty, similar to how Dongyuan's Ten Books and Hejian's Six Books included others' works to increase numbers. This version does not contain all the original works of Xue Ji as well as this edition does."

Wu Xuesun stated: "Mr. Xue Lizhai's medical cases, gynecology, pediatrics, and surgery all have specialized books, making them comprehensive. Only for internal medicine, the collection lacks order. *Yao Miao* is good, but reading it may not provide full details. Previously, Mr. Huang Lushe selected cases from each category to form a book named *Nei Ke Yi An* (Internal Medical Cases), indeed supplementing the deficiencies of Xue Lizhai. I will spare no effort to revise and publish it." (From *Dou Zhen Si He Quan Shu*)

*[He Shi (Yue) Ming Yi Hui Yao]* (Essentials of Bright Medicine by He Yue), two volumes. Not seen.
Qian Qi wrote a preface: "Young He Yue studied Confucianism. When his mother suffered from wind disease, he sought many doctors, but none could cure her. He angrily declared, 'If my mother's illness cannot be healed, what use is my Confucian study?' He then bought all medical books to read. After a year, he said, 'I know how to cure my mother.' He cared for her diligently, and she enjoyed a long life. He also received transmission from Wang Weiyong, a doctor from Suzhou, and his skills improved further. Villagers sought his treatment, and he was usually effective. His door was crowded even at dusk. Soon, the entire county and prefecture, from magistrates downwards, summoned him daily. Doctors in the provincial administration always referred to him. Gentlemen traveling through the prefecture also invited him. Thus, his influence spread widely. He occasionally read ancient medical texts and, after a long time, understood them intuitively, compiling them into a volume titled *Ming Yi Hui Yao*. Magistrate Wei of the county, proficient in medicine, liked it but was promoted before he could print it. Old Magistrate Xia, stationed at the coast, ordered Commander Li Lü to print it and asked me to write a preface. I stood up and sighed: 'Illnesses of hunger and cold are often worse than political failures; weak people suffer more from bad medicine than good. Famous doctors since Xuanyuan and Qibo, such as Yin Xian, Zhang, and Liu, revived the dying and prolonged national destiny. Thus, it is said the superior doctor treats the state. Is their skill uniquely divine? No, they excel in their profession, which is why they are famous. Today, so-called doctors do not know what *Suwen*, *Nanjing*, or *Lingshu* are. Below them, they use medicine for profit; less than one in a hundred is good. Yet Mr. He practices medicine through Confucianism and has such lasting writings. People compare medicine to prime ministership, saying it benefits all things. I suspect this is an exaggeration. May his kindness last forever, like the achievements of a prime minister. Since the two magistrates governed our county, the people above and below appreciated them, happy that our people did not suffer from politics. Now, reading this book, it is like politics. I am also happy that our people do not suffer from bad medicine, hence this preface.' (From *Lin Jiang Xian Sheng Ji*)"

General Rules state: "He Yue previously compiled *Ming Yi Hui Yao*, which was printed and popular. Then he compiled *Yi Jing Da Zhi*, not to repeat but due to other reasons. Lord Liu of Mengzhu visited He Yue, who was knowledgeable in medicine. Finding content from various books, he urged collection. Feeling old and dull, how dare I disobey? I reluctantly complied, carefully extracting key words from past sages, polishing them slightly to unify them. Stone, metal, strange, dry, toxic, and purgative drugs are all deleted to avoid harming people. I dare not claim correctness; the rules follow. Colleagues please correct me, do not mock my arrogance. Greatly appreciated."
*[Huangfu Shi (Zhong) Ming Yi Zhi Zhang Tu]* (Diagram of Palm-Sized Bright Medicine by Huangfu Zhong), ten volumes in *Yi Cang Mu Lu*. Extant.
Zhang Ao wrote a preface: "My student Huangfu Shan and his brother Huangfu Songdai are both famous scholars in Renhe. After ten years apart, Shan came to Jinling to pay respects, holding a book. Reading it, it was *Ming Yi Zhi Zhang Tu*. He said: 'Shan has worked on this book for three generations; Jia Zhi has also been involved for three generations. Since his grandfather Juquan practiced Xuanyuan-Qibo arts, collecting experiences and effects, Mengzhai Shi wrote *Shanghan Zhi Zhang Shu* (Palm-Sized Guide to Cold Damage), and Yunzhou Weng completed it, presumably to broaden the palm-sized guide. The diagrams integrate *Neijing*, extensively collect ancient philosophers' formulas, adapt flexibly without rigidity. It took about a year to complete. Several volumes. It begins with songs and odes to summarize hundred diseases for easy memorization. Then annotations explain causes to resolve doubts. Next, diagnosis judges life/death and root/branch for observation. Then forms and formulas verify accuracy and ensure good medicine. The craftsmanship and ingenuity are imaginable. Wulin is a place of spiritual beauty, gathering talent and literature. Without long-term dedication, how could such a book be achieved? Yunzhou Weng taught it to his son Xiugang. Shan brought it to me asking: 'This humble grandson fears failing ancestral wishes, begs for a word to preserve it forever.' Alas! Virtues like Zouyu and Linzhi are rare. Common people boasting of one good deed rarely avoid selfish motives. Hangzhou has known the Huangfu family for medicine for a long time. Father, son, grandfather, and grandson are pure, honest, and close. They help others in distress, forgetting sleep, food, cold, and heat, ignoring rewards. Yet they print this to benefit humanity, wishing all to live long through medicine and all doctors to become good and sage-like. How can gentlemen not support this?"

Autobiographical Note states: "My grandfather Fushan dedicated himself to arts and letters, renowned in Jiangzuo. Students seeking knowledge from him often became prominent. But failing imperial exams again and again, he grew old as a common scholar. My father was smart and sensitive; grandfather loved him greatly, hoping for early success. Unexpectedly, grandfather fell ill, and treatment failed. His dying wish to my father was: 'If you cannot be a good minister, be a good doctor.' Soon, my father lost his support and was hindered from taking official exams, so he changed to medicine, calling himself Nianshan. For fifty years, he was famous for his medical skills. Inside and outside Wucheng, old and young, men and women suffering from Shanghan (Cold Damage) or smallpox/measles, obtained full recovery from my father, countless in number. I am unworthy, weak and sickly, unable to complete the scholarly path. My father ordered me to abandon it and study Qi-Huang books. This lasted several winters and summers. Gaining some understanding, he showed me *Ming Yi Zhi Zhang* by Yunzhou Weng, saying: 'What you learned earlier—Zhongjing's Shanghan, Dongyuan's Neishang, Hejian's Rebing, Danxi's Zabing—is broad learning. Simplified and refined is this book. You should follow it.' I respectfully accepted, studying morning and night, finally understanding its essence. Truly uncovering secrets and profound mysteries, inheriting various schools, distinguishing roots and treatments, clarifying luck and qi suitability. Excellent. The slight regret is being constrained by diagrams and limited in discussion, explicit in symptoms but obscure in pulses, detailed in formulas but brief in methods. Flipping through, there are still detours. So I dared to explore the sources, categorizing items by doors, grouping formulas by type, adding song notes, inserting my own views, enabling learners to differentiate syndromes by pulse and apply treatments based on syndromes, crossing the bridge in a snap of fingers. I also gained much insight through this. Unfortunately, I was not born in Mr. Yunzhou's time, but fortunately, not too far removed, allowing me to privately learn from his school. May great figures of the world appreciate this. Auspicious day of September, Tianqi Year 2. Junior scholar Shao Da of Changzhou respectfully records.
*Jiangnan Tong Zhi* states: "Shao Da, from Suzhou, descendant of Northern Yu. Loved reading Sima Qian's *Shiji*, never putting down the scroll. Proficient in Shanghan, cures were immediate. A neighbor suffering from malnutrition and near death, Shao Da wrapped gold in his medicine bag to give him, resulting in a quick recovery. People called him Mr. Renshan."

Autobiographical Preface states: "In ancient times, chaos was undivided, people did not die young. Later, customs opened, desires awakened, and diseases arose. The Yellow Emperor pitied them, aided by medicine and healing, and *Neijing* was created. Successive eras followed, from Qin, Han, Tang, Song downwards, lacking no individuals. Recorded on bamboo slips, filling ox-carts. All aimed to mystify their techniques and marvel at their uses, raising the world and future generations to the realm of benevolence and longevity. My family practiced Confucianism, often reading *Suwen* and other books, exploring the profundities of medicine. Hidden yet meanings were vague, precise and mixed errors, A acceptable, B rejected, knowing not where to turn. Fearful of the vastness, I gathered fragments, calling it a shortcut. Causing roots and cores to lack reference. Few avoided confusing sacred texts and harming lives. Ashamed of my ignorance, relying on personal experience treating according to *Neijing*, synthesizing various masters, searching for the intentions of sages through ages, combining books without omission, analyzing formulas without disorder, discarding wrong and keeping right, classifying and dividing, totaling one hundred volumes. Named *Gu Jin Yi Tong*. Collecting ancient methods up to历代良医 (past good doctors), summarizing today. Unifying differences, clearly distinguished, compiled into volumes, splendidly observable. Perhaps those tired of complexity find a return, those preferring simplicity lose nothing. Opening the book, medical laws, weights, measures, beginnings, and ends are clear as in the palm. Beneficial for health preservation. If claiming the whole book is not deficient, it awaits the wise. Mid-winter solstice, Bingchen year of Jiajing. Preface by Xu Chunfu of Xin'an."

Autobiographical Preface states: "If the Way has no foundation, it is boundless and directionless. If learning has no master, orientation is uncertain. Medicine as a Way, with human life depending on it, is it not heavy? My family practiced Confucianism, transmitting medical Dao, originating from... Ancestor registered in Beijing. I currently hold this position. Late Father Hengzhai Weng was a student of the county school, studying under Vice Minister Jiezhai Wang Gong, further promoting this Dao. I engaged in civil service exams in youth, unlucky and frequently ill. I investigated formula books *Suwen* and *Nanjing*, vaguely grasping the essentials. Composed *Mai Zheng Lei Ni*.
