王居中求医学，居中教以黄岐《素问》之旨，公遂论次，分理脉候、病能、脏象、经度、针刺、

字用和，宣州人，工医药，有符咒治疗捷效，人称神医。

王履，字伯仁，号樱宁生。他的父亲在江南做官，他在仪真出生并长大。他自幼聪慧敏捷，每天能写万字文章，提笔作文，富有思辨才情。他拜王居中为师学习医学，王居中向他传授黄帝岐伯《素问》的要旨，他便整理编排，分门别理地研读脉象候诊、病证机理、脏腑形象、经络循行、针刺疗法、五运六气等内容，分类抄录并阅读。王居中称赞道：“好啊，你求学掌握了正道。”从此以后，王履的学问日益精进，进一步参悟张仲景、李东垣（李明之）、刘完素（刘守真）三家医学的奥秘，所治疗的疾病无不神效。他又撰写了《十四经发挥》、《诊家枢要》、《本草会韵》等书，共计若干卷流传于世。
杜本，字用和，是宣州人，精通医药，擅长使用符咒治疗且见效迅速，人们称他为神医。
滑寿，字震父，是姑苏人，精于医术，曾撰写《医学会同》二十卷。他推究五运六气的标本关系，观察阴阳升降的左右规律，以此确定五脏六腑的虚实状态，融会经脉气血的流注运行，治愈疾病、起死回生，通常与其他医生不同。他由平江医学教授职位，被提拔为江浙医学提举。
滑寿之子名干孙，其医术青出于蓝而胜于蓝，非常仁爱宽厚，求医者不分贵贱，他都尽心用药治疗，没有不生效的。著有《医学启蒙论》、《十二经络》、《十药神书》流传于世。收录于《医史》中。
熊宗立，昆山人，字安道。学问探究天道人事，文章冠绝当世，极力探求医学源头，直接穷尽其中奥妙。他推演李东垣的学术宗旨，认为李东垣著作中未涉及“有余之伤”（邪气盛实的损伤），因此撰写了《内伤余义》，名为《溯洄集》。又详细论述常规与变通之法，作《伤寒立法考》。《医史补传》中有《百病钩玄》二十卷，《医韵统书》一百卷。现在保存下来的只有《伤寒溯洄》而已，《钩玄》、《韵统》则未曾见到。如果这两本书都保存下来，对医学道的补充贡献，难道不大吗？可惜他的真迹沦落遗失，而《脉诀》、《钤法》等伪书却流传于世，这难道是上天不想让后世百姓达到长寿的境界吗？唉！
Wang Lu, courtesy name Bo Ren, pseudonym Yingning Sheng. His father held an official post in Jiangnan, and he was born and raised in Yizhen. From childhood, he was intelligent and quick-witted, capable of writing ten thousand characters a day, and his essays were full of thoughtful insight. He studied medicine under Wang Juzhong, who taught him the essential principles of the *Suwen* (Basic Questions) of Huangdi and Qibo. He then organized and classified these teachings, studying pulse diagnosis, disease mechanisms, zang-fu manifestations, meridian pathways, acupuncture techniques, and the Six Qi and Five Movements (Yunqi), copying them by category for study. Wang Juzhong praised him, saying, "Excellent! You have grasped the Way of learning." From then on, Wang Lu's scholarship advanced daily, and he further explored the secrets of Zhang Zhongjing, Li Dongyuan (Li Mingzhi), and Liu Wansu (Liu Shouzhen). His treatments were invariably miraculous. He also authored works such as *Shisi Jing Fa Hui* (Elucidation of the Fourteen Meridians), *Zhen Jia Shu Yao* (Pivot Essentials for Pulse Diagnosis), and *Bencao Hui Yun* (Collected Rhymes of Materia Medica), totaling several volumes that circulated in the world.
Du Ben, courtesy name Yonghe, was from Xuanzhou. He was proficient in medicine and pharmacy and skilled in using talismans and spells for treatment with rapid effects; people called him a Divine Physician.
Hua Shou, courtesy name Zhenfu, was from Gusu. He excelled in medicine and once authored *Yixue Huitong* (Comprehensive Integration of Medical Learning) in twenty volumes. He deduced the root and branch of the Five Movements and Six Qi, observed the left-right dynamics of Yin-Yang ascending and descending, thereby determining the deficiency and excess of the Zang-Fu organs, and integrated the flow and distribution of meridians and Qi-Blood. His cures and resuscitations often differed from those of other physicians. He rose from the position of Medical Professor at Pingjiang to be promoted to Supervisor of Medicine in Jiang-Zhe.
Hua Gan-sun, son of Zhenfu, surpassed his father in medical skill. He was extremely benevolent and compassionate, treating patients regardless of noble or humble status, administering medication with utmost care, achieving universal efficacy. He authored *Yixue Qimeng Lun* (Discourse on the Enlightenment of Medical Learning), *Shi'er Jingluo* (Twelve Meridians), and *Shiyao Shenshu* (Divine Book of Ten Medicines), which circulated in the world. Recorded in *Yishi* (History of Medicine).
Xiong Zongli, from Kunshan, courtesy name Andao. His learning investigated Heaven and Humanity, and his writings were unparalleled in the world. He deeply probed the origins of medicine, penetrating its profound mysteries. He extended the doctrines of Li Dongyuan, noting that Li did not address injuries due to "excess" (pathogenic abundance), so he wrote *Neishang Yu Yi* (Supplementary Meaning on Internal Injury), titled *Suhui Ji* (Collection of Tracing the Source). He also detailed standard and variable approaches, authoring *Shanghan Lifakao* (Examination of Principles for Cold Damage). The *Yishi Buzhuan* (Supplemental Biographies in History of Medicine) mentions *Baibing Gouxuan* (Hooking the Profundities of Hundred Diseases) in twenty volumes and *Yiyun Tongshu* (Comprehensive Book of Medical Rhymes) in one hundred volumes. What remains extant is only *Shanghan Suhui*. *Gouxuan* and *Yuntong* have not been seen. If these two books had survived, their contribution to the medical Dao would surely have been significant. Alas, his authentic writings have been lost, while spurious texts like *Maijue* (Pulse Secrets) and *Qianfa* (Talismanic Methods) circulate. Is it that Heaven does not wish for the people of later generations to reach the realm of longevity? Sigh!
