一本书以选择精细之推拿法，加以注释为主题，故定名曰《推拿抉微》。
一本书推拿法之属性，均系摘录息县夏英白先生者。因其法简而明，较他书为独优美故也。
一夏英白之推拿法，虽系精纯，而其认证用药诸法，具属阙如，尚为未尽美善。故本书以采摘各家认证诸法
为补助，以成全璧。
一本书虽系采择前贤认证用药之精华，而前贤间有未臻完善者，则余参以己见，务使其认证精确，治法完善，
以免婴儿夭札。
一余之风症惊症诸谈，颇为前贤所未道及，均系从实验中得来。而实验中之所以得来，则完全根据脏腑生化
之理，加以真确之论断，与凭空思索者，绝相悬殊。以之治儿固可，以之治大人亦无不可。
一绘图注穴，为审视治疗法之第一要着。而前之小儿诸书，所绘头面诸穴，均极错误，不可根据。本书则务使
图精穴确，易于明了，以免习医者徒事疑虑，毫无定凭。
一本书所绘头面诸图，业医者必须平素详为审阅，记忆纯熟。庶免临症含糊，至演手忙脚乱，无所适从之患。
一本书虽未将小儿一切症治，尽行列入，而其主要症治，已算括其概略。业医者固可作为参考，而举凡养儿各家，
亦可各置一本，以备临时选用。
一推拿法虽发明多年，而乡间愚夫愚妇，以未耳闻目及，每生疑畏。我等如值此疑难地位之时，则须详为解释，
使其胸襟冰释，我方得尽是术，至解释之法，则在略曰∶人之头面手掌诸穴，与内部脏腑，均相连系。脏腑是其根本，
诸穴是其苗叶，小
儿肉既嫩脆，推其苗叶，根本自易牵动云。
一本书所有一切药之分量，俱以小儿六岁时为标准。若儿未满六岁，或已超过六岁以上者，俱可以此标准
增加或减少。
一本书凡系摘取某某人者，即将某某人名字列入，冠其节论之首，恐系掩人之长，正所以炫己短也。
本书以精选精细的推拿手法并加以注释为主题，因此定名为《推拿抉微》。
书中推拿手法的属性，均摘录自息县夏英白先生的方法。因为他的方法简明易懂，比其他书籍更为优美。
夏英白的推拿手法虽然精纯，但其辨证和用药等方法完全缺失，尚不完美。因此本书采摘各家辨证的方法作为补充，以求完善。
本书虽采择前贤辨证用药的精华，但前贤间有未臻完善之处，则我参酌己见，务求辨证精确，治法完善，以免婴儿夭折。
我对风症、惊症等的论述，颇为前贤所未提及，均是从临床实验中得来。而实验中之所以能得出这些结论，则是完全根据脏腑生化之理，加以真确的论断，与凭空思索者截然不同。用这些方法治疗小儿固然可以，治疗成人也没有不可以的。
绘图标注穴位，是审视治疗方法的首要关键。而之前的小儿书籍中，所绘制的头面诸穴均有极大错误，不可依据。本书则务求图精穴确，易于明了，以免习医者徒生疑虑，毫无定准。
本书所绘制的头面诸图，业医者必须平时详细审阅，记忆纯熟。这样才能避免临证时含糊不清，导致手忙脚乱、无所适从的弊端。
本书虽未将小儿一切病症的治疗全部列入，但主要病症的治疗已概括其概要。业医者固可作为参考，而凡是养育孩子的各家，也可各自置备一本，以备临时选用。
推拿手法虽已发明多年，但乡间愚夫愚妇因未曾耳闻目睹，往往产生疑惧。我们如遇到这种疑难情况时，则须详细解释，使其心中的疑虑冰释，我们才能充分发挥医术。至于解释的方法，则可以简略地说：人的头面手掌诸穴，与内部脏腑，均有联系。脏腑是其根本，诸穴是其枝叶，小儿肌肉既嫩脆，推按其枝叶，根本自然容易牵动。
本书所有药物的分量，均以小儿六岁时的标准为基准。若孩子未满六岁，或已超过六岁以上者，均可以此标准增加或减少剂量。
本书凡系摘取某某人的内容，即将某某人的名字列入，冠于节论之首，这是为了避免掩盖他人的长处，正在于炫耀自己的短处（注：此处原文逻辑似为反语或笔误，意指尊重前人，不掠美）。
This book is themed around selecting refined tuina (massage) techniques and providing annotations, hence it is titled *Tui Na Jue Wei* (Tuina Unveiled).
The attributes of the tuina methods in this book are all excerpted from Mr. Xia Yingbai of Xixian County. His methods are simple and clear, and are considered superior to those in other books.
Although Mr. Xia Yingbai's tuina methods are pure and refined, his methods for syndrome differentiation (Bian Zheng) and medication are completely lacking, making them imperfect. Therefore, this book collects syndrome differentiation methods from various schools as supplements to achieve completeness.
Although this book selects the essence of syndrome differentiation and medication from former sages, there are imperfections among them. I have incorporated my own insights to ensure precise syndrome differentiation and perfect treatment methods, so as to prevent infant mortality.
My discussions on wind syndromes and convulsive syndromes were not mentioned by former sages and were derived entirely from clinical experiments. The basis for these experimental findings lies completely in the physiological principles of Zang-Fu organ biochemistry, leading to accurate conclusions that are vastly different from mere speculation. These methods can be used to treat children, and there is no reason they cannot be used to treat adults.
Illustrating acupoints is the primary key to examining treatment methods. Previous pediatric texts contained significant errors in the depiction of head and facial acupoints, which should not be relied upon. This book strives for precise illustrations and accurate acupoint locations to facilitate understanding, thereby preventing practitioners from harboring doubts without a firm basis.
Practitioners must carefully review and memorize the head and facial illustrations in this book during their daily studies. This will prevent ambiguity during clinical practice, avoiding situations of confusion and helplessness.
Although this book does not list every possible pediatric condition and its treatment, it covers the general outline of major conditions. Practitioners can certainly use it as a reference, and anyone involved in child-rearing may keep a copy for temporary consultation.
Although tuina has been developed for many years, ignorant people in rural areas, having never heard or seen it, often feel suspicious and fearful. When facing such skepticism, we must explain in detail to dispel their doubts, allowing us to fully utilize our skills. The explanation can be briefly stated as follows: The acupoints on the head, face, and palms are connected to the internal Zang-Fu organs. The Zang-Fu organs are the root, while the acupoints are the branches and leaves. Since infants' flesh is tender and fragile, massaging the branches and leaves easily affects the root.
The dosages of all medicines in this book are standardized based on a six-year-old child. For children under or over six years old, the dosage can be increased or decreased accordingly based on this standard.
For any content excerpted from specific individuals, their names are listed at the beginning of the respective section, to avoid concealing others' strengths and merely exposing one's own shortcomings.
