医书起源于黄帝（轩）与岐伯（歧），方药传承于卢医（扁鹊）与秦越人（扁）。自汉唐以来，许多禁方多为不传之秘；宋元之后，所著书籍多为补救之作。若不精心探究其源流，则治疗疾病时疾病反而会加重；若能通过博学深入考究，那么经典医籍才能得以保存而不亡佚。如我的双湖世伯大人，因孝行被朝廷旌表，事实记载中载有庸行数条，以及乐善好施等大事，都让人啧啧称赞。只有《医学指归》两卷，尚未刊印发行。我恳求抄录阅读，恍然大悟地知道药物按照君臣佐使配伍，证候详细区分表里阴阳，斟酌古今，法度良善、意旨美好，确实是《灵枢》的功臣。我的祖先也曾以太医院身份闻名于世，后悔没有传人。等到世伯从邮城迁徙到兴化，与我祖宅比邻而居，交往深厚历经三世，因此得以熏陶其学问，熟悉其生平。每每回忆世伯造诣深邃，禀赋灵明。医术由孝心产生，养老的新书可以补充；道理从心中领悟，课功的伏案工作多么勤奋。遇到贫穷之人则极力扶持，几乎忘记囊中空空；面对疑难证候则一经调摄，便见春意回归。岂料庚戌年天灾流行，因为救治病人而不顾安居，于是劳神以致患上重疫。葛洪即病卧不起，仍怜悯贫民；（公卧病时所言，都是临证及平日所做的善事。）文翁虽宴饮如常，却早知死亡之日。（公换床铺前三十天，自知寿命不长。）方书一卷，仅称为身后的遗作；探索终身，才著成不可磨灭的作品。唉！赵孟往而无人与之为善，仓公殁而谁为活人？手泽犹存，心源可接。所欣慰的是继承家业者有望，医缓永远被称为后继之良才；更相信教孝有书，儒门别无事亲的记录。

Medical texts originated from Huangdi (Yellow Emperor) and Qibo, while prescriptions were transmitted by Lu Yi (Bian Que) and Qin Yueren (Bian Que). Since the Han and Tang dynasties, many secret formulas have remained undisclosed; since the Song and Yuan dynasties, written works have mostly served as remedies for deficiencies. Without careful investigation into their origins and developments, treating diseases may cause them to worsen; only through extensive learning and deep research can classic medical texts be preserved and not lost. Such as my elder relative, Lord Shuanghu, who was commended for filial piety by the court, with records of his mediocre conduct and major acts of charity that are widely praised. Only the two volumes of "Yixue Zhigui" (Guide to Medical Knowledge) had not yet been printed. I requested a copy to read, and suddenly understood that medicines are compounded according to Jun-Chen-Zuo-Shi (Sovereign, Minister, Assistant, Courier) principles, and syndromes are detailedly distinguished by Biao-Li (Exterior-Interior) and Yin-Yang. It judiciously combines ancient and modern methods, with excellent techniques and benevolent intentions, truly being a merit contributor to the *Ling Shu* (Spiritual Pivot). My ancestors also gained fame in the Imperial Medical Bureau, but I regret there is no successor. When Lord Shuanghu moved from Youcheng to Xinghua, living next to my ancestral home, our families had deep ties spanning three generations, allowing me to be influenced by his scholarship and familiarize myself with his life. Whenever I recall his profound attainments and innate intelligence: medical skills arise from filial piety, supplementing new books on elderly care; Dao (Way) is realized from the heart, how diligent he was in his studies. He vigorously supported the poor, often forgetting his own emptiness; when facing difficult syndromes, after regulation, spring-like recovery would appear. Unexpectedly, in the Gengxu year, during a plague, because he treated patients without regard for his own safety, he exhausted himself and contracted a severe epidemic. Ge Hong fell ill and could not rise, yet still pitied the poor; (What Lord said while bedridden were all clinical observations and past good deeds.) Wen Weng dined and drank as usual, yet knew his death day early; (Thirty days before his deathbed change, he knew his lifespan was short.) A volume of medical texts is merely called a posthumous legacy; exploring for a lifetime, he finally wrote an immortal work. Alas! If Zhao Meng goes, who will do good? If Cang Gong dies, who will save lives? His handwritten notes remain, his mental source can be connected. What brings joy is that the heir to the family profession shows promise, and Yi Huan is forever praised as a worthy successor; it further confirms that teaching filial piety through books provides Confucians with another record of serving parents.
