跌打损伤诸方,从古为技击家所秘,世传盖鲜。然冰渊之惧,人所时有。一遭不虞,而
治之不得其法,命悬呼吸矣。友人赵君兰亭,薄游吴楚,遍集良方。初不自私,欲以济世。
余戚黄云海为序其书,名曰《救伤秘旨》。而余任开雕之责,夫亦愿家有是书,可收救伤之
实效也。既而兰亭复以《跌损方》一册见示。阅其书,盖高邮孙氏所刊传者。卷中分门别
类,各出证治。其传甚远而且秘,诚异书也。特高邮远隔三江,去吾乡千余里,虽有刊本,
何能多得。今并梓之,以广其传。亦犹刻赵君《救伤秘旨》之意耳。
时咸丰二年岁在壬子中秋前三日黄岩管颂声赓堂甫书于米船楼
士君子身体发肤,不敢毁伤,盖语其常耳。使之从王事赴疆场,矢刃交下,旗鼓相当,
遑虑伤哉!顾有国家者,得人以兴,失人以亡。当临阵时,虽智勇之将,难保无伤。其伤也
,不治则死,得治则生。生则国家倚赖,死则三军沮丧。以是知医治之术,不可不详也。等
而下之,乡邻有斗者,一朝之忿,或伤人,或受伤,不治则死,得治则生。生则可以息争,
死则受伤者贲恨。而伤人者断 以偿,于是更知医治之术,不可不详也。吾友天台赵君兰亭
,慈祥人也。尝溯江流,学西洋种痘之法于武昌,归而传种,俾儿
痘不殇。又尝广集医方,随宜施治。而尤悯夫受伤者之鲜良方也。盖是技击之家,以为秘
藏,索赂不足,则求治不应,是以伤者多亡。君少好勇,薄游四方。遇技击之良者,必止而
请教焉。故独得其详,汇抄成帙,藏之缥缃。固尝不受酬谢,而起人折伤矣。以种痘来黄,
余与管君赓堂获交焉。君因出示所抄诸方。阅其方,皆世所不传,而诚可以救伤者也。遂名
曰《救伤秘旨》。而赓堂为之出资刊布,以播诸遐方。今而后治伤之术可得而详。其将为医
国之良欤。然吾尤愿人之无伤也。

跌打损伤的各种方剂,自古以来被擅长技击的人所保密,世间流传的很少。然而如临深渊、如履薄冰般的恐惧,人们时常会有。一旦遭遇意外,如果治疗不得法,性命就悬于呼吸之间了。我的朋友赵兰亭先生,在吴楚之地短暂游历,广泛收集了良方。起初他不打算私藏,想要用来救济世人。我的亲戚黄云海为这本书写了序言,命名为《救伤秘旨》。而我负责出资刻印的责任,也是希望家家户户都有这本书,可以收到救治损伤的实际效果。不久后,兰亭又拿出《跌损方》一册给我看。翻阅那本书,大概是高邮孙氏刊刻流传的版本。书中分门别类,各自阐述证候与治疗。它的传承非常久远而且隐秘,确实是奇书啊。只是高邮距离三江地区遥远,离我的家乡有一千多里,虽然有刻本,怎么能多得呢?现在一并把它刻印出来,以扩大其流传。这也如同刻印赵君《救伤秘旨》的本意罢了。
时在咸丰二年岁次壬子中秋前三日,黄岩管颂声赓堂甫书写于米船楼
士大夫的身体发肤,不敢毁伤,这说的是通常情况罢了。假使他们为了王事奔赴疆场,箭矢刀刃交相落下,旗鼓相当,哪里还顾得上考虑受伤呢!但是拥有国家的人,得到人才则兴盛,失去人才则灭亡。当面临战斗时,即使是智勇双全的将领,也难以保证不受伤。他们受了伤,如果不治疗就会死,得到治疗就能活。活着则国家倚赖,死了则三军士气沮丧。由此可知医疗的技术,不可不详细研究啊。再往下说,乡邻之间有争斗的,因为一时的愤怒,或者伤人,或者受伤,不治疗就会死,得到治疗就能活。活着就可以平息争端,死了则受伤者会留下怨恨。而伤人者必定要抵偿,于是更知道医疗的技术,不可不详细研究啊。我的朋友天台赵兰亭先生,是个慈祥的人。曾经溯江而上,在武昌学习西洋种痘的方法,回来后传授这种方法,使儿童不因天花夭折。又曾经广泛收集医方,根据情况适宜地施治。尤其怜悯那些受伤的人缺少良方。大概是因为技击之家,将其作为秘密收藏,索取贿赂不足,就不回应求治的请求,因此受伤的人大多死亡。赵君年轻时喜好勇武,在各地短暂游历。遇到技艺高超的技击者,一定停下来请教。所以独自获得了详细的知识,汇总抄录成册,藏在书箱中。本来曾经不接受酬谢,而起死回生挽救了骨折损伤的人。因为种痘来到黄岩,我与管赓堂先生得以结交。赵君于是出示他所抄录的各首方剂。翻阅那些方剂,都是世间所不流传的,而确实可以救治损伤的。于是命名为《救伤秘旨》。而赓堂为他出资刊刻发布,以传播到远方。从今以后,治疗损伤的技术可以得到详细了解。这将成为医治国家的良方吧。然而我尤其希望人们没有损伤。
咸丰元年孟夏之月,苍溪教弟黄拜撰
Various prescriptions for bruises and fractures were kept secret by martial artists since ancient times, and few were passed down to the world. However, the fear of being in a precarious situation (like walking on thin ice) is something people often experience. Once an unexpected incident occurs, if treated without proper methods, life hangs by a thread. My friend, Mr. Zhao Lanting, traveled briefly through the regions of Wu and Chu, collecting excellent prescriptions widely. Initially, he did not intend to keep them private but wished to use them to benefit the world. My relative, Huang Yunhai, wrote a preface for his book, naming it *Jiushang Mizhi* (Secret Principles for Saving Injuries). I took on the responsibility of funding its printing, hoping that every household would possess this book to achieve practical results in treating injuries. Later, Lanting showed me another booklet titled *Diesun Fang* (Prescriptions for Bruises and Fractures). Upon reading it, I found it was likely a version printed and circulated by the Sun family of Gaoyou. The volume categorizes conditions and treatments separately. Its transmission is very old and secretive; it is indeed a rare book. However, Gaoyou is far from the Sanjiang region, over a thousand *li* from my hometown. Although printed copies exist, how could one obtain many? Now, I am having both printed together to broaden their circulation. This aligns with the original intent of publishing Mr. Zhao's *Jiushang Mizhi*.
Written at the Rice Boat Pavilion by Guan Songsheng Gengtang of Huangyan, three days before the Mid-Autumn Festival in the year Renzi of the Xianfeng 2nd Reign.
Gentlemen dare not damage their bodies, hair, and skin, which refers to ordinary circumstances. If they go to the battlefield for royal duties, where arrows and blades cross and forces are evenly matched, who would worry about injury! Yet, those who govern a state prosper when they have capable people and perish when they lose them. During battle, even wise and brave generals cannot guarantee they will remain unharmed. If injured, lack of treatment leads to death, while proper treatment leads to survival. Survival means reliance by the state; death means demoralization of the army. Thus, we know that medical skills must be studied in detail. Furthermore, among neighbors engaged in fights due to momentary anger, whether injuring others or being injured, lack of treatment leads to death, while proper treatment leads to survival. Survival can resolve disputes; death leaves resentment in the victim and requires compensation from the aggressor. Thus, we further realize that medical skills must be studied in detail. My friend, Mr. Zhao Lanting of Tiantai, is a kind-hearted man. He once traveled upriver to Wuchang to learn the Western method of variolation (smallpox inoculation), and upon returning, propagated it so that children would not die from smallpox. He also extensively collected medical prescriptions and applied them appropriately. He particularly pitied those injured who lacked good prescriptions. Martial artists often kept such knowledge secret; if bribes were insufficient, they refused treatment, causing many injured people to die. In his youth, Mr. Zhao loved valor and traveled widely. Whenever he met skilled martial artists, he stopped to ask for instruction. Thus, he alone acquired detailed knowledge, compiled it into a manuscript, and stored it in silk book covers. He had previously accepted no remuneration yet revived those with bone fractures. Coming to Huangyan for variolation, I and Mr. Guan Gengtang became friends. Mr. Zhao then showed us his copied prescriptions. Reading them, they were all unknown to the world but truly capable of saving lives from injuries. Hence, they were named *Jiushang Mizhi*. Gengtang funded their publication to spread them to distant places. From now on, the techniques for treating injuries can be known in detail. Will they not become excellent remedies for healing the nation? However, I especially wish for people to avoid injury.
