修园先生,是陈老太姻翁、吴航地区的名望老前辈。他凭借名孝廉的身份出任地方官,有良好的政绩声誉,回到家乡几十年后,他所撰写的各种医书,灵石太姻翁徽庵姻翁已经分批次刻印出版发行。现在又新刊行了《从众录》共八卷,分门别类,各有条理,其中辨析症状和脉象,摘选各家精华要点,附上拟定的按语,都非常精当确切。足见其家学渊源深远!阅读他的书的人顿时开阔眼界,这确实是引导世人脱离病苦的金针,救人的好方法啊。我检忝为世交,又联姻亲,虽愧于浅薄愚陋,还是谨写几段跋文,以表达内心的仰慕之情罢了。
道光午年七月十六日,姻世再愚侄郑学检恭敬作跋。
Mr. Xiuyuan was the father-in-law of Elder Chen Tai and a renowned senior figure in Wuhang. Having served as a local magistrate with an outstanding reputation for governance after obtaining the title of Ming Xiaolian (a distinguished graduate of the imperial examinations), he returned to his hometown decades ago. All his various medical writings had already been selectively printed and published by His Excellency Hui'an, the father-in-law of Lingshi Tai. Now, a new edition of *Congzhong Lu* (Record of Following the Masses), comprising eight volumes, has been newly published. It is categorized into sections, each well-organized. In it, symptoms are differentiated and pulses analyzed; essential points from various schools are excerpted, and accompanying notes are provided, all being extremely precise and pertinent. This sufficiently demonstrates the profound and distant origins of his family's scholarly tradition! Those who read his works will suddenly have their minds opened; it is truly a golden needle for guiding people out of suffering and a fine method for saving lives. I, Jian Tian, am honored by our family friendship and marital alliance. Though unworthy due to my own shallowness and ignorance, I respectfully append a few words as a postscript to express my heartfelt admiration.
Postscript respectfully written by Zheng Xuejian, humble nephew through marriage and family ties, on the 16th day of the 7th month in the Wu year of the Daoguang reign.
