狄梁公（狄仁杰）生性喜好医药，尤其精通针灸之术。显庆年间，他奉诏入关，路过路边看到一块大木牌，上面写着：“能治好这个孩子的病，酬谢绢一千匹。”原来是一位富贵人家的孩子鼻端长了一个赘生物，形状像拳头大小的石头，根部连着筋脉，疼痛剧烈，生命垂危。狄梁公便在患者脑后下针，那疣赘应手而落。患者的父母用车拉着千匹细绢来酬谢他，狄梁公看都不看就离开了。（出自《集异记》）
李王的公主患喉痈（咽喉部的化脓性炎症），几天下来肿痛严重，无法进食饮水。刚召来的医官说必须用针刀切开排脓才能溃破愈合。公主听说要用针刀，哭着不肯治疗，因疼痛逼迫，连水谷都无法入口。忽然有一位民间医生进言说：“我不使用针刀，只用笔头蘸药涂在痈上，片刻之间就会溃破。”公主大喜，于是下令召见他。两次用药后，疮口溃破，流出一盏多的脓血，症状随即缓解。两天后疮口无事。皇帝命令他提供方子，医生说这其实是把针系在笔心中，轻轻划破疮口使其溃散罢了，并没有其他特殊的方剂。所谓“医者意也”，是靠意念取效罢了。（出自《名医录》）
临川有个人脸颊间长了肿瘤，瘙痒难忍，每次用火烘烤艾灸就能暂时缓解，但不久又复发，极其痛苦。医生告诉他说：“这是真正的虱瘤，应当剖开取出。”做法是用油纸围在头顶，然后施行砭石刺瘤。瘤才刚被刺破，无数小虱子涌出，最后出来两只大的，一白一黑，都像豆壳大小，里面空空如也，没有血，与脸颊完全不相干，留下略无瘢痕的痕迹，只是肿瘤遮挡的地方皮肤颜色正白而已。（出自《丁志》）
无为军人张济善于用针，从异人那里得到秘诀，能够透视观察人体解剖结构并看清经络，因此技艺无不精妙。恰逢年成饥荒发生瘟疫，甚至出现人吃人的惨状。张济诊治了一百七十人，凡是用针刺治疗的，无不立刻见效。例如：孕妇因跌倒导致腹部偏向左侧，针刺右手手指便使胎儿位置端正；长期患有脱肛的人，针刺头顶百会穴便痊愈；伤寒引起的反胃呕吐、多日无法进食，针刺眼周穴位便能立刻恢复饮食。这些都是古今方书未曾记载的。陈莹中为此作传说道：“药王、药上二菩萨是世间良医，尝遍草木金石，其名号多达十万八千种，都知晓酸、咸、淡、甘、辛等味道，所以从味觉领悟医道。由此可知，如今医生辨别药物口味的做法，古已有之。”（出自《邵氏闻见录》）
Lord Di (Di Renjie) had a fondness for medicine and was particularly skilled in acupuncture. During the Xianqing era, while traveling to the capital on imperial summons, he saw a large sign by the road stating: "Whoever can cure this child shall be rewarded with one thousand bolts of silk." A wealthy family's son had a growth on the tip of his nose, resembling a stone the size of a fist, attached by a tendon-like root. He suffered severe pain and was in critical condition. Lord Di inserted an needle at the back of the patient's head, and the wart fell off immediately. The parents offered a cartload of fine silk as reward, but Lord Di ignored it and departed. (From *Ji Yi Ji*)
The Princess of Prince Li suffered from a throat abscess for several days. Swelling and pain were severe, preventing her from eating or drinking. When the summoned medical officials stated that incision with needles and knives was necessary to drain the pus, the princess cried and refused treatment due to fear of the instruments. Forced by pain, she could not even take in water or food. Suddenly, a folk physician proposed: "I do not use needles or knives; I will merely dip a brush tip in medicine and apply it to the abscess, which will burst instantly." The princess was delighted and ordered him to be summoned. After two applications, the sore ruptured, discharging over a cup of pus and blood, bringing immediate relief. Two days later, the wound healed. When ordered to provide the prescription, the physician explained that he simply tied a needle to the center of a brush and gently pricked the abscess to induce drainage, with no special formula involved. This illustrates the principle that "medicine lies in intent," relying on mental focus for efficacy. (From *Ming Yi Lu*)
In Linchuan, a man had a tumor growing between his cheeks, causing unbearable itching. Burning and moxibustion provided temporary relief, but the condition recurred, causing extreme suffering. A physician advised: "This is truly a 'louse tumor' and must be excised." The procedure involved wrapping oil paper around the top of the head, then using a bi stone (stone lancet) to pierce the tumor. Upon piercing, countless tiny lice emerged, followed by two large ones, one white and one black, each the size of a bean shell. They were hollow, contained no blood, and were unrelated to the cheek tissue. The area left no scar, except for a patch of pure white skin where the tumor had obstructed circulation. (From *Ding Zhi*)
Zhang Ji from Wuwei Jun was adept at acupuncture, having received secret instructions from an extraordinary person. He possessed the ability to visualize anatomical structures and meridians internally, making his technique flawless. During a famine and plague where cannibalism occurred, Zhang treated 170 patients; all cases treated with acupuncture showed immediate results. For instance, a pregnant woman whose abdomen deviated to the left after a fall was corrected by needling the fingers of the right hand. A chronic case of rectal prolapse was cured by needling the Baihui point (DU20) on the vertex. Cases of vomiting and inability to eat for days due to cold-induced regurgitation recovered immediately after needling the eye region. These methods were not recorded in ancient or modern formularies. Chen Yingzhong wrote a biography stating: "The Medicine King and Medicine Superior Bodhisattvas are excellent physicians of the world; they tasted hundreds of thousands of herbs and minerals, knowing their sour, salty, bland, sweet, and pungent flavors, thus attaining enlightenment through taste. This indicates that the practice of physicians distinguishing drug flavors today has ancient roots." (From *Shao Shi Wen Jian Lu*)
