千金断产方。
油煎水银一日勿息，空肚服枣大一丸。永断不损人。
千金论曰，夫生民之道，莫不以养小为大，若无小卒不成大，故易称积小以成高硕。诗
有厥初生民，传云，声子生隐公，此之一义，即是从微至着，自少及长，人情共见，不待经
史，故今斯方，先妇人小儿，后丈夫耆老者，则是崇本之义也。小儿气势微弱，医人欲留心
救疗，立功差难，今之学人，多不存意，良由婴儿在于襁褓之内，乳气腥臊，医者操行英雄。
讵肯瞻视，静而言之，可为太息者矣。短剧方云，凡人年六岁以上为小，十六以上为少，三
十以上为壮，五十以上为老，其六岁以下，经所不载，所以乳下婴儿，有病难疗者，皆为无
所承据也，中古有巫妨者，立小儿颅囟经，以占夭寿。判疾病死生，世相传授，始有小儿方
焉。逮于晋宋，江左推诸苏家，传习有验，流于人间，齐有徐王者，亦有小儿方三卷，故今
之学人，颇得传授，然徐氏位望隆重，何暇留心于少小，详其方意，不甚深细，小有可采，
未为至秘，今博撰诸家及自经用有效者，为上下两卷，可披而寻之，凡百居家，皆宜达兹养

《短剧》断产方。
取旧布一块，方形或圆形，边长一尺，烧成灰烬，用酒送服，可终身不再怀孕。（《千金方》记载为蚕子旧布）
又治疗妊娠期间想要终止妊娠，以及断绝生育的方剂。
栝蒌、桂心（各三两），豆豉（一升）。
以上三味药切碎，用水四升，煎煮至剩余一升半，分次服用。
另一个方剂：
附子两枚，捣碎成粉末，用纯醋调和后涂抹在右脚上，去除后效果极佳。
《千金方》断产方。
将水银放入油中煎煮一天不停歇，空腹服用如枣大一丸的药丸。永久断绝生育且不损伤人体。
《千金方》论述说：人类生存的道理，没有不以养育幼小为根本大事的，如果没有幼小，就无法成就宏大，所以《易经》说积累微小以成就高大硕壮。《诗经》有“厥初生民”的诗句，《左传》记载声子生下隐公，这一层含义，就是从细微到显著，从年少到长大，这是人们共同看见的事实，不需要经过经史典籍的证明，所以现在这部书方，先讲妇人和小儿，后讲成年男子和老年人，这就是尊崇根本的意义。小儿的气血气势微弱，医生想要用心救治，建立功绩使疾病痊愈很难，现在的学医之人，大多不在意，确实是因为婴儿在襁褓之中，乳汁气息腥臊，医生们操守高尚英勇，怎么肯去瞻视呢？静下来想想，真令人叹息啊。《短剧方》说，普通人六岁以上称为小，十六岁以上称为少，三十岁以上称为壮，五十岁以上称为老，其中六岁以下，医经中没有记载，所以下乳后的婴儿，有病难治，都是因为无所依据。中古时期有个叫巫妨的人，编写了《小儿颅囟经》，用来占卜夭折或长寿，判断疾病的生死，世人相互传授，才开始有了小儿方剂。到了晋宋时期，江东地区推崇苏家，传承学习有验证，流传于民间，齐朝有徐王，也有《小儿方》三卷，所以现在学医之人，颇能得到传授，然而徐氏地位声望隆重，哪里有空闲留心于幼小之事，详细考察他的方剂意旨，并不十分深奥细致，稍有可取之处，不算极为秘密，现在广泛搜集各家及自己经验有效的方剂，编为上、下两卷，可以翻阅寻找，凡是普通居家百姓，都应该通晓这养育幼小的道理。
Duanju Formula for Sterilization.
Take an old piece of cloth, square or round, one chi in side length, burn it to ash, and take it with wine; this ensures lifelong infertility. (Qianjin Fang records it as an old cloth used for silkworm eggs.)
Another formula for terminating pregnancy and sterilization.
Gualou (Trichosanthes Fruit), Guixin (Cinnamon Twig) (each 3 liang), Chishao Dou (Prepared Soybean) (1 sheng).
Cut the above three herbs, add 4 sheng of water, decoct until 1.5 sheng remains, and divide into doses for administration.
Another formula:
Fuzi (Prepared Aconite Root) (2 pieces), crush into powder, mix with pure vinegar, apply to the right foot, remove afterwards; this yields excellent results.
Qianjin Fang Formula for Sterilization.
Fry Shuiyin (Mercury) in oil for one day without stopping. Take a pill the size of a jujube on an empty stomach. This permanently prevents reproduction without harming the body.
Qianjin Fang states: The way of human life is such that no one does not regard nurturing the young as the great foundation. Without the young, the great cannot be formed; thus, the I Ching says, "Accumulate the small to achieve the high and solid." The Shi Jing has the verse "In the beginning, there was the people," and the Zuo Zhuan records that Shengzi gave birth to Duke Yin. This meaning implies progressing from the subtle to the manifest, from youth to adulthood, which is common knowledge visible to all, not requiring confirmation through classics and histories. Therefore, this work first addresses women and children, then adult men and the elderly, reflecting the principle of honoring the root. Children's qi and vital energy are weak; for physicians to devote themselves to treatment and achieve cures is difficult. Current students of medicine often neglect this, largely because infants within swaddling clothes emit a fishy and pungent milk odor, and physicians, maintaining noble conduct and heroic demeanor, are unwilling to look upon them. Reflecting quietly, this is indeed a cause for deep sighs. Duanju Fang states that ordinary people aged six and above are called "small" (xiao), those sixteen and above are called "young" (shao), those thirty and above are called "strong" (zhuang), and those fifty and above are called "old" (lao). Those below six years old are not recorded in medical classics; therefore, nursing infants with illnesses are difficult to treat due to lack of theoretical basis. In the middle ancient period, a man named Wu Fang compiled the Xiao'er Luxin Jing (Pediatric Cranial Fontanelle Classic) to predict premature death or longevity and judge disease outcomes. This was passed down through generations, leading to the emergence of pediatric formulas. During the Jin and Song dynasties, the Su family in Jiangzuo was highly regarded; their teachings were verified and spread among the people. In the Qi dynasty, Prince Xu also compiled three volumes of Pediatric Formulas. Thus, current students can obtain these transmissions. However, given Prince Xu's high status and prestige, he had little time to focus on pediatrics. His formulas are not particularly profound or detailed, though somewhat useful, they are not extremely secret. Now, having extensively collected various schools' methods and personally effective ones, I have compiled them into two volumes, upper and lower, for readers to consult. All households should understand the principles of nurturing the young.
