味甘辛，气香，性温，入足厥阴肝经。温肝暖血，破瘀消 。逐腰腿湿寒，驱腹胁疼痛。
味辛咸苦，性温，入足太阴脾、足少阴肾经。暖水燥土，泄湿除寒，走中宫而温脾，入下焦
而暖肾，补垂绝之火种，续将断之阳根。治手足厥冷，开脏腑阴滞，定腰腹之疼痛，舒踝膝之挛拘。通经脉
之寒瘀，消疝瘕之冷结。降浊阴逆上，能回哕噫。提清阳下陷，善止胀满。纸包数层，水湿，火中灰埋煨熟
，去皮、脐切片，砂锅隔纸焙焦用，勿令黑。
味辛苦，性温，入足厥阴肝、足少阴肾经。开关节而去湿寒，通经络而逐冷痹。消腿膝肿疼，
除心腹痞痛。治寒疝最良，疗香港脚绝佳。制同附子，蜜煎取汁用。
粤自神农尝百草而药性乃传，轩帝着《内经》而病源始出，此固开天之神智，亦即救世之苦心也。
越及汉季，有张仲景先师出，着有《伤寒》、《金匮》各编，理精法密，辞古义深，探石室之秘藏，发兰
台之奥蕴，洵为医林中特出之书也。乃前人著作极精，而后世注疏多谬，致使良苗杂于稂莠之间，而是非
莫辨；嘉粟埋于 糠之内，而真伪谁分；此有心人所同慨也！今有黄氏《伤寒》书出，辨伪订讹，悉复篇章
之旧；钩深致远，独探撰述之原；譬如淘尽荒沙而黄金始得呈其色，剖开顽石而白壁乃能显其光，自古
注《伤寒》者，未有如黄氏之盛者也。然，未经名人指授，终不敢自信赏识之非诬矣。兹闻庆云阁先生，
素日博览医书，迄今己涉猎三十余载矣，谅必于群书淆乱之中，独衷一是。
因倩世仁甫先生为介绍，只求先生引而进之，得闻此道之指归素愿足矣。乃蒙不弃，即延入讲堂，当而
指明，古今医书精纯者绝少，惟《伤寒》、《金匮》之书，独得《灵》、《素》真传，医学家群当奉为圭
臬也。注疏不下数百家，惟黄氏注疏独合圣经之旨，直可与仲景之书并传不朽矣。其余各书，瑕瑜互见，实
不敢赞一词焉。（镛）敬聆之下，如获南针之指示，向往弥殷；益望北斗之光华，仰瞻倍切。退归后，即照黄
氏成规，将伤寒杂病，各证各方，俱编为歌括，以便披吟。书成录出，即呈先生笔削，不料适值先生亦
作《证方歌括》，以授及门。遂检阅镛稿中有精粹可取者，即摘录先生书内，以排印行世。（镛）以迂疏之作，叨
附末光，是亦生平大幸事也。爰为叙。
民国四年旧十一月初八日后学郭振镛谨叙

自从神农氏品尝百草而药物性质得以流传，黄帝撰写《内经》而疾病源头开始阐明，这确实是开辟天地的神智，也是救世济人的苦心啊。到了汉代末年，有张仲景先师出现，著有《伤寒论》、《金匮要略》各编，理论精微、法则严密，辞藻古朴、义理深远，探寻石室中的秘藏，阐发兰台中的奥蕴，确实是医学林中特别突出的书籍。然而前人著作极其精妙，而后世的注释疏解多有谬误，致使优良的苗株混杂在杂草之间，是非难以分辨；嘉美的谷物埋藏在糠皮之内，真伪谁能区分？这是有心之人共同感慨的事情！如今黄氏的《伤寒论》注解书出版，辨别伪误、订正讹错，完全恢复了篇章的原貌；钩深致远，独自探求撰述的本源；譬如淘尽荒沙而黄金始得呈现其色泽，剖开顽石而白璧乃能显现其光芒，自古以来注释《伤寒论》的人，没有像黄氏这样盛大的了。然而，如果没有名人的指点传授，终究不敢自信赏识不是虚妄。此次听闻庆云阁先生，平日博览医书，至今已经涉猎三十多年了，想必能在群书混乱之中，独衷一是。因此请世仁甫先生作介绍，只求先生引荐进入，得以听闻此道的宗旨归宿，我的素愿就满足了。承蒙不弃，立即延请进入讲堂，当面指明，古今医书中精纯者极少，只有《伤寒论》、《金匮要略》这两本书，独得《灵枢》、《素问》的真传，医学家群体应当奉为圭臬。注疏不下数百家，只有黄氏的注疏独自符合圣人的旨意，简直可以与张仲景的书一起流传不朽。其余各书，优缺点互见，实在不敢多说什么。（郭振镛）恭敬聆听之下，如同获得指南针的指示，向往之情更加殷切；更加希望北斗星的光华，仰瞻之情倍加迫切。退归之后，立即按照黄氏的成规，将伤寒杂病，各种证候各方，都编纂为歌诀，以便诵读吟咏。书成抄录出来，立即呈送先生批阅修改，不料恰逢先生也编写《证方歌括》，用来教授门徒。于是检阅我稿中有精粹可取的部分，即摘录到先生的书中，以便排印发行于世。（郭振镛）以迂腐疏漏之作，叨陪末席，这也是生平的大幸事啊。于是为此作序。民国四年旧历十一月初八日，后学郭振镛谨序。
Sweet and pungent in taste, fragrant in odor, warm in nature, entering the Foot-Jueyin Liver Meridian. It warms the liver and nourishes blood, breaks up stasis and dissipates masses. It expels damp-cold from the waist and legs, and drives away pain in the abdomen and hypochondrium.
Pungent, salty, and bitter in taste, warm in nature, entering the Foot-Taiyin Spleen Meridian and the Foot-Shaoyin Kidney Meridian. It warms the water organ and dries the earth, drains dampness and removes cold. Its action travels through the Middle Jiao to warm the spleen and stomach, and enters the Lower Jiao to warm the kidney. It supplements the fire of life that is on the verge of extinction and continues the root of yang qi that is about to break. It treats cold limbs of the hands and feet, opens yin stagnation in the zang-fu organs, stabilizes pain in the waist and abdomen, and relaxes spasms and contractures in the ankles and knees. It unblocks cold-stasis in the meridians and collaterals, and dissipates cold knots in hernias and masses. It causes turbid yin qi to descend, thereby stopping hiccups and belching. It raises clear yang qi that has sunk, thereby effectively relieving distension and fullness. (Preparation: Wrap in several layers of paper, moisten with water, bury in hot ashes to roast until cooked, remove the skin and umbilicus, slice, and bake over paper in a clay pot until scorched; do not let it turn black.)
Pungent and bitter in taste, warm in nature, entering the Foot-Jueyin Liver Meridian and the Foot-Shaoyin Kidney Meridian. It opens the joints to dispel damp-cold, and unblocks the meridians and collaterals to drive out cold-bi. It reduces swelling and pain in the legs and knees, and removes epigastric and abdominal stuffiness and pain. It is excellent for treating cold hernias and superb for treating beriberi (Hong Kong foot). (Preparation: Process similarly to Fuzi [Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata], decoct with honey to extract the juice for use.)
Since Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs, the properties of medicines were transmitted; since the Yellow Emperor composed the *Neijing* [Classic of Internal Medicine], the origins of diseases began to emerge. This is indeed the divine wisdom that opened heaven and earth, and also the heartfelt compassion to save the world. When the Han dynasty declined, Master Zhang Zhongjing appeared, composing the *Shanghan Lun* [Treatise on Cold Damage] and *Jingui Yaolue* [Essential Prescriptions of the Golden Cabinet]. His principles were refined, his methods rigorous, his language archaic, and his meaning profound. He explored the secret treasures of stone chambers and revealed the hidden depths of the imperial archives. Truly, these are outstanding books in the forest of medicine. However, while the works of predecessors were extremely exquisite, later commentaries and exegeses were often erroneous. This caused good seedlings to be mixed with weeds, making right and wrong indistinguishable; fine grain was buried within chaff, making true and false hard to distinguish. This is a matter of common lament for those with heart! Now, Mr. Huang's commentary on the *Shanghan Lun* has been published. It辨伪订讹 [distinguishes the false and corrects the erroneous], completely restoring the original chapters. It probes deep and reaches far, independently exploring the source of composition. It is like washing away barren sand so that gold reveals its color, or breaking open stubborn stones so that white jade displays its luster. Since ancient times, there have been no commentators on the *Shanghan Lun* as magnificent as Mr. Huang. Nevertheless, without the instruction of renowned masters, I dare not confidently claim that my appreciation is not delusion. I have heard that Mr. Qingyun Ge has extensively read medical books for over thirty years. Surely, amidst the confusion of numerous texts, he alone adheres to the correct principle. Therefore, I asked Mr. Shirénfu to introduce me, hoping only that Mr. Qingyun Ge would guide me, allowing me to hear the ultimate goal of this Dao, which would fulfill my lifelong wish. Out of kindness, he invited me into the lecture hall and pointed out clearly before me that among ancient and modern medical books, few are pure and refined. Only the *Shanghan Lun* and *Jingui Yaolue*, having uniquely inherited the true transmission of the *Lingshu* [Spiritual Pivot] and *Suwen* [Basic Questions], should be regarded as the standard by all medical scholars. There are hundreds of commentaries, but only Mr. Huang's commentary alone conforms to the intent of the sages, and it can be handed down immortally alongside the works of Zhongjing. The other books have both flaws and merits, and I truly dare not add a word. (Yong) Listening respectfully, it was as if receiving guidance from a south-pointing chariot; my yearning grew deeper. I further hoped for the radiance of the Big Dipper, and my gaze of admiration became more intense. Upon returning home, I immediately followed Mr. Huang's established rules, compiling the various syndromes and prescriptions of cold damage and miscellaneous diseases into rhymed verses for easy recitation. After completing and copying the book, I presented it to Mr. for revision. Unexpectedly, Mr. was also compiling *Zhengfang Gekuan* [Rhymed Verses on Syndrome and Formula] to teach his disciples. Thus, he examined my manuscript, extracted the essence, and included it in his book for printing and distribution. (Yong), with my clumsy and negligent work, being attached to the end, is also a great fortune in my life. Hence, I write this preface. On the eighth day of the eleventh lunar month, the fourth year of the Republic of China, your humble student Guo Zhenyong respectfully wrote.
