形，云何济治？鬼曰∶君但缚刍为人，索孔穴针之。秋夫如其言，为针腰俞及针肩井各二处，设
祭而埋之。明日鬼谢云∶蒙君疗治，腰疼已愈。当代称其神医。长子道度，次子叔向皆神其术。

不知何郡人。晋末于丹阳郊外射猎，忽有物高二丈许，因射而中之，走如电激，声如风雨。
夜不敢走，明日率弟子数十人寻其踪迹，至山下见一小儿，云∶主人昨夜为刘涓子所射，取水以
洗疮。因问小儿主人为谁。答曰∶是黄老鬼。乃窥小儿还，将至，闻捣药声，遥见三人，一人卧，
一人开书，一人捣药。即齐声叫突而前，三人并走，止遗一帙《痈疽方》，并一臼药。时涓子得
之。从宋武帝北征，有被金疮者，以药涂之，随手而愈。论者谓圣人作事，天必助之，天以此方

葛洪，字稚川，丹阳人，自号抱朴子。他广泛阅读群书及诸子百家的著作，下至杂文，诵读并记忆万卷书籍，喜好神仙导引（一种通过呼吸和肢体运动来养生延年的方法）之法，炼制丹药以期长寿。所著作品有《神仙良史》，汇集了五经、各史书及百家之言，《金匮方》、《肘后方》共一百卷。八十多岁时，人们说他尸解成仙了。
陶弘景，字玄平，丹阳人，年少丧父，依附于外祖父家新野庾氏，在园中搭建草庐居住，穿布衣吃素食，烧柴写书，写完后再诵读一遍，于是博通百家之言。性情仁爱，擅长医术，曾以诊病救济为业。凡是有病的人，不论贵贱，都给他们治疗，救活十人中八九个。撰写方书一百多卷。
王叔和，字道明，不知是哪里人。凭借儒学和道家思想通达事理，治理地方闻名，性格有道家风范，沉迷崇尚医学。曾经阅读本草、经方，手不释卷。等到被任命为扬州刺史，渡江时吃螃蟹，误食彭蜞（一种有毒的蟹类）中毒几乎死去。于是感叹说：“读《尔雅》不熟，被世俗学问误导了。”
殷仲堪，陈郡人，祖父是吏部尚书，父亲是骠骑参军。能够清谈，善于写文章，常说：“三天不读《道德经》，就觉得舌头僵硬。”父母生病时，他不解衣带侍奉，亲自学习医术，探究其精微之处，以孝顺闻名。武帝召他为太子中庶子。
徐之才，不知是哪里人，志性沉稳坚毅，很有气量，年轻时以医术闻名，担任太医令。出自《晋书》。
法存，岭南僧人，年轻时因聪慧入道，医术享有盛名。自从永嘉南渡后，晋朝士大夫不适应南方水土，所患疾病多是脚弱（下肢无力），只有法存能拯救救济他们。出自《千金方》。
徐熙，字仲融，东海人，生性好黄老之学，隐居在太望山，有道士经过向他求水喝，于是留下一个葫芦送给他，说：“你研习它，子孙应当用道来救世，官位可达二千石。”徐熙打开看，原来是《扁鹊镜经》一卷，于是精心学习它，名声震动海内。仕途做到濮阳太守。儿子徐秋夫更精通他的医术。
徐秋夫，徐熙的儿子，担任射阳令，常夜里听到有鬼呻吟，声音非常凄苦。徐秋夫说：“你是鬼，需要什么？”回答说：“我姓斛，名斯，家在东阳，因腰痛而死。现在虽然是鬼，但病痛不止，听说你医术好，希望得到救济。”徐秋夫说：“你是鬼没有形体，怎么治疗？”鬼说：“你只需扎草人为人形，找穴位针刺它。”徐秋夫照他的话做，针刺腰俞和肩井各两处，设祭品埋葬。第二天鬼来致谢说：“承蒙您治疗，腰痛已愈。”当时人称他为神医。长子徐道度，次子徐叔向也都神乎其技地掌握了这门医术。

徐文伯，字德秀，徐道度的儿子，精通医学，有学问品行。宋孝武帝的路太后生病，众医生不认识。徐文伯诊断说：“这是石搏（结石阻滞）在小肠罢了。”于是用水剂消石汤治疗，病立即痊愈。被授予鄱阳王常侍，赠送千金。由此名声知晓当代，儿子徐雄也传承了他的学业。
徐嗣伯，徐叔向的儿子，少年时背负奇才，很有异术，对经方、诊诀、占候等无不详细熟练。尽心拯救病人，不限贵贱，多获得奇效。当时被当代人所称赞。并出自《宋书》。

薛伯宗，擅长用禁气（一种通过气息控制或符咒治病的方法）治疗疾病，公孙泰患发背（背部痈疽），薛伯宗为他封气，把患处对应的位置设在斋房前的柳树上。第二天痈肿消退，树上便长出一个瘤，十天瘤破，流出脓液约一升，树因此枯萎受损。
秦承祖，不知是哪里人，性格耿直。但精通方药，不分贵贱，都同样给予治疗。出自《宋书》。
僧深，齐宋之间的道人，年轻时以医术闻名，治疗脚软香港脚（脚气病）的疾病，被当时人所信服。编纂记录支法存等人的书，收集各家旧方三十卷，临床使用大多有效，当时人称为《深师方》。
刘涓子，不知是哪里人。晋末年在丹阳郊外打猎，忽然有一个物体高约两丈，于是射中它，它逃跑如闪电激射，声音如风雨。晚上不敢走远，第二天率领几十个弟子寻找踪迹，到山下看见一个小男孩，说：“主人昨晚被刘涓子射伤，取水清洗伤口。”于是问小男孩的主人是谁。回答说：“是黄老鬼。”于是窥视小男孩回去，快要到了，听到捣药声，远远看见三个人，一人躺着，一人看书，一人捣药。就齐声叫喊冲上前去，三人都跑了，只留下一帙《痈疽方》，以及一个臼药。当时刘涓子得到了它。跟随宋武帝北征，有被兵器创伤的人，用药涂抹，随手而愈。论者认为圣人做事，上天必定帮助，上天把这个方子授予武帝。演绎为十卷，号称《鬼遗方》。
Ge Hong, courtesy name Zhichuan, was from Danyang. He styled himself Baopuzi (Master Who Embraces Simplicity). He extensively read various books and the works of the Hundred Schools of Thought, down to miscellaneous writings, reciting and memorizing tens of thousands of volumes. He favored the methods of Immortals and Dao Yin (a traditional Chinese practice involving breathing exercises and physical movements for health preservation), refined elixirs in hopes of longevity. His authored works include *Shenxian Liangshi* (Biographies of Good Immortals), which collected the Five Classics, histories, and works of the Hundred Schools; *Jingui Fang* (Golden Cabinet Prescriptions) and *Zhouhou Fang* (Prescriptions Ke Ready for Emergency Use), totaling one hundred volumes. In his eighties, it was said that he achieved "corpse liberation" (shijie, a form of Taoist immortality where the practitioner leaves behind an empty shell) and became an immortal.
Tao Hongjing, courtesy name Xuanping, was from Danyang. Orphaned young, he relied on his maternal grandfather's family, the Yu clan of Xinye. He built a hut in the garden, wore coarse cloth, ate vegetarian food, burned firewood to write books, and after finishing writing, recited them thoroughly, thereby becoming proficient in the Hundred Schools of Thought. He was benevolent and skilled in medicine, making diagnosis and relief his profession. For anyone who was ill, regardless of status, he treated them, saving eight or nine out of ten. He compiled over one hundred volumes of medical prescriptions.
Wang Shuhe, courtesy name Daoming, was from an unknown commandery. He attained prominence through Confucianism and Daoism, governed with fame, possessed a demeanor akin to a Daoist, and was devoted to medicine. He once studied Materia Medica and classic prescriptions, never letting the scroll leave his hands. When appointed Governor of Yangzhou, he crossed the river eating crabs and accidentally ingested poison from Pengqi (a toxic crab species), nearly dying. He sighed, saying, "I did not study *Erya* (An Ancient Dictionary) thoroughly enough; I was misled by vulgar learning."
Yin Zhongkan was from Chen Commandery. His grandfather was the Minister of Personnel, and his father was a Staff Officer of the Cavalry Guards. He was capable of Qingtan (Pure Conversation, a philosophical discussion style popular among Wei-Jin scholars) and skilled in composition. He often said, "If I do not read the *Daodejing* for three days, my tongue feels stiff." When his parents were ill, he did not remove his clothes to sleep, personally studied medicine, explored its subtleties, and was renowned for his filial piety. Emperor Wu summoned him to serve as Vice Director of the Palace Library for the Crown Prince.
Xu Zhicai was from an unknown commandery. He had a steady and resolute character, ample tolerance, and gained fame for his medical skills in his youth, serving as Imperial Physician Director. [Source: *Book of Jin*].
Faxun was a monk from Lingnan. He entered the Daoist path due to his intelligence in his youth and gained fame for his medical skills. Since the southward migration during the Yongjia era, Jin dynasty scholars and officials suffered from maladaptation to the southern climate and water, primarily suffering from Jiaoruo (weakness of the legs). Only Faxun could rescue and aid them. [Source: *Qianjin Fang*].
Xu Xi, courtesy name Zhongrong, was from Donghai. He loved the teachings of Huang-Lao (Huangdi and Laozi), secluded himself on Taiwang Mountain. A Daoist priest passed by and asked for water. Xu Xi left him a gourd, saying, "Practice this, and your descendants will save the world with the Dao, reaching high official ranks." Xu Xi opened it and found a volume of *Bianque Jingjing* (Mirror Classic of Bian Que). He studied it diligently, and his fame spread throughout the land. He served as Governor of Puyang. His son, Xu Qiufu, mastered his techniques even further.
Xu Qiufu, son of Xu Xi, served as Magistrate of Sheyang. He often heard ghosts groaning at night, their voices extremely mournful. Qiufu said, "You are a ghost, what do you need?" The voice replied, "My surname is Hu, given name Si, home in Dongyang. I died of lower back pain. Although now a ghost, the pain persists. I hear you are skilled in medicine; I wish for your help." Qiufu said, "You are a ghost without form, how can I treat you?" The ghost said, "Just bind straw into a human shape and needle its acupoints." Qiufu did as instructed, needling Yaoshu (BL23) and Jianjing (GB21) twice each, set up sacrifices, and buried it. The next day, the ghost thanked him, saying, "Thanks to your treatment, my lower back pain has healed." He was called a divine physician by contemporaries. His eldest son, Dao Du, and second son, Shuxiang, also possessed miraculous skills.
Xu Daodu, eldest son of Qiufu, had a profound and broad demeanor, clear and sharp conduct, and mastered medicine in his youth. As he grew older, he resembled his father, eventually serving as Governor of Lanling.
Xu Shuxiang, second son of Qiufu, had a gentle and respectful character, was quick-witted and eager to learn, devoted himself to medical studies, and rose to the position of Governor of Taishan.
Xu Wenbo, courtesy name Dexiu, son of Daodu, was proficient in medicine and possessed scholarly integrity. When Empress Dowager Lu of Emperor Xiaowu of Song fell ill, many doctors could not diagnose her. Wenbo diagnosed, "This is Stone Bi (stone obstruction) in the small intestine." He prescribed a water-based decoction of Xiaoshi (Natrii Sulfas), and the illness cured immediately. He was appointed Attendant Gentleman to the Prince of Poyang and gifted a thousand pieces of gold. Thus, his name became known in the contemporary era. His son, Xiong, also inherited his profession.
Xu Sibai, son of Shuxiang, bore extraordinary talent in his youth and possessed unique skills. He was thoroughly familiar with classic prescriptions, diagnostic methods, and divination. He dedicated himself to saving patients, regardless of status, achieving many miraculous effects. He was praised by his contemporaries. [Sources: *Book of Song*].
Yang Xin, courtesy name Jingyuan, loved literature and arts, valued pharmaceuticals, was meticulous in affairs, and excelled in treating phlegm-related diseases. He achieved miraculous rescues and was promoted multiple times to Gentleman of the Palace and Governor of Yixing. [Source: *Book of Song*].
Xue Bozong specialized in treating illnesses using Jin Qi (Qi suppression/control techniques). Gongsun Tai suffered from Fabei (back carbuncle/abscess). Bozong sealed the Qi for him and placed the corresponding point on a willow tree in front of the meditation hall. The next day, the abscess subsided, but a tumor appeared on the tree. Ten days later, the tumor burst, discharging about one sheng (approx. 1 liter) of pus, causing the tree to wither.
Qin Chengzu was from an unknown commandery. He had an upright character but was proficient in prescriptions. He treated all patients equally, regardless of status. [Source: *Book of Song*].
Seng Shen was a Daoist practitioner during the Qi and Song dynasties. He gained fame for his medical skills in his youth, particularly in treating Jiaoruo (weakness of the legs) and Hongxiangjiao (foot qi disease/berriberi). He was respected by contemporaries. He compiled records of texts by Zhi Faxun and others, collecting thirty volumes of old prescriptions from various schools. These were clinically effective and were known as *Shenshi Fang* (Prescriptions of Master Shen).
Liu Juanzi was from an unknown commandery. At the end of the Jin Dynasty, while hunting in the suburbs of Danyang, he suddenly saw an object about two zhang high. He shot it, and it fled like lightning, making sounds like wind and rain. He dared not pursue it at night. The next day, he led dozens of disciples to track it. At the foot of the mountain, they saw a boy who said, "The master was shot by Liu Juanzi last night and used water to wash the wound." They asked who the master was. The boy replied, "It is the Huang Lao Ghost." They followed the boy back, approaching closely, and heard the sound of pounding herbs. From afar, they saw three people: one lying down, one reading, and one pounding herbs. They shouted and rushed forward. The three fled, leaving behind a manuscript of *Yongju Fang* (Prescriptions for Carbuncles and Ulcers) and a mortar with medicine. Liu Juanzi obtained these. Later, accompanying Emperor Wu of Song on a northern campaign, he applied the medicine to soldiers wounded by weapons, curing them instantly. Commentators believed that when sages act, heaven assists them; thus, heaven granted this prescription to Emperor Wu. It was expanded into ten volumes, titled *Guiyi Fang* (Ghost's Legacy Prescriptions).
