臣闻天生蒸民，不能令无病，又无令不有欲，外而六淫之邪，内而七情之伤，内外纵其
侵陵，柔脆无以自立。故圣人者出，恤其夭折，因 制治，设法以为之防戒，欲使邪者得解，
伤
之传不朽者也。逮汉医有张机字仲景者出，始造经方，处药剂以立则，其详悉精简弗可复加
焉。自汉以降，方药之众多，浩如瀚海，纷如乱麻，譬之禾黍必刈稂莠，而后良苗始茂；必
去糠秕，而后精米以得。汉以侍医李柱国较方技，宋命儒臣校正医书，犹有误谬。张机之后，
能由古训，遵其规，济世妙术，经验良方，金玉烂然者；唐孙思邈《千金方》三十卷，方论
五千三百首；宋许叔微《本事方》二十卷，正编方论四百四首，续编方论百四十六首；宋王
《百一选方》二十卷，方千四十六首，弘济民生，浓德光于千古，遗方传于百代。然自唐
宋迄今，载祀绵远，简编亏替，所精撰者虽广且大，其所讹舛者亦不少，况如《百一选方》
，我东方未有梓焉。曩者平安戊申灾厄，千金旧板半既煨烬乎，且今春予复罹祝融之灾，所
藏千金校本再为乌有，根据是今乃钦献二书校本，若夫方论有一所谬误，恐民生或蒙害，非仁
浓慈爱之意也。仰见陛下仁民爱物，心与古圣王同一揆，诏校订三书，臣性姿庸愚，识局昏
冥，学古甚陋，非有匡谬之用，实维滥吹乎。雠较订正，以数本考索，又旁征群书，正其讹
谬，补其脱漏，庶几刈稂莠，去糠秕，虽然陋拙寡闻，窃恐不免遗漏纰缪，自误误人。恭惟
圣上盛德深仁，惠及区宇，赞天地之生育，诚民生之深幸，万世之浓泽，不胜感戴之至。臣
惟和谨奉表陈进，诚惶诚惧，顿首顿首，百拜谨上！

臣听闻上天养育百姓，不能让人没有疾病，也不能让人没有欲望。外在有六淫（风、寒、暑、湿、燥、火六种外感病邪）的侵袭，内在有七情（喜、怒、忧、思、悲、恐、惊七种情志变化）的伤害，内外邪气纵然相互侵扰欺凌，柔弱脆弱的人体便无法独自支撑。所以圣人出现，怜悯人们早逝夭折，于是制定治理方法，设立法规作为防范警戒，想要使患病者得以解除病痛，将这种伤病的传承变成不朽的东西。到了汉代，医生张机字仲景出现，才开始创立经方（经典处方），制定药剂的使用法则，其详细周密、精简完善的地步已不可再增加。自汉代以来，方药种类繁多，浩大如浩瀚大海，纷乱如乱麻，这就好比庄稼必须割除稗草（杂草），然后好的禾苗才能茂盛；必须去掉糠秕，才能得到精米。汉代由侍医李柱国校订医术方药，宋代命令儒臣校正医书，仍然有误谬之处。张机之后，能够遵循古训，遵守其规范，拥有济世妙术、经验良方，如金玉般璀璨耀眼的著作中：唐代孙思邈的《千金方》三十卷，方论五千三百首；宋代许叔微的《本事方》二十卷，正编方论四百四首，续编方论一百四十六首；宋代王璆的《百一选方》二十卷，方剂一千四十六首，广泛救济民众，恩德光照千古，遗留下的方剂流传百代。然而自从唐宋至今，年代久远，书籍简册残缺衰败，虽然精心撰写的部分广泛宏大，但其中讹误错乱的地方也不少，更何况像《百一选方》这样在我东方（日本）还没有刻印出版的书籍。从前平安时代戊申年遭遇灾祸，《千金方》的旧版木板大半化为灰烬了，况且今年春天我又遭受火灾，所收藏的《千金方》校本再次化为乌有，因此现在恭敬进献这两本书的校本。如果方论中有哪怕一处谬误，恐怕百姓可能会受到危害，这不符合仁爱慈悲的本意。仰见陛下仁爱百姓、爱惜万物，心意与古代圣王一致，下诏校订这三本书。臣天性资质平庸愚钝，见识格局昏暗不明，学习古人知识非常浅陋，没有纠正谬误的能力，实在是滥竽充数罢了。通过校对订正，用多种版本进行考证索源，又广泛征引各类书籍，纠正其中的讹误错乱，补充其中的脱漏缺失，希望做到割除稗草、去掉糠秕。虽然臣才学浅陋、见闻寡少，私下里担心难免会有遗漏和错误，导致自己误人误己。恭敬地认为圣上盛德深仁，恩惠遍及天下，赞助天地的生育之功，确实是百姓的大幸，万世的深厚恩泽，臣不胜感激戴德之至。臣惟和恭敬奉表陈述进献，心中诚惶诚恐，叩头叩头，行百拜大礼恭敬呈上！

I have heard that Heaven nurtures the people, but cannot prevent them from having diseases, nor can it prevent them from having desires. Externally, they are subject to the invasion of the Six Excesses (Wind, Cold, Summerheat, Dampness, Dryness, and Fire), and internally, they suffer from the Seven Emotions (Joy, Anger, Worry, Thought, Sorrow, Fear, and Fright). When external and internal pathogenic factors invade and harass, the fragile human body cannot stand on its own. Therefore, when the Sage appeared, pitying the premature death of people, he established governance methods and set regulations as preventive warnings, intending to relieve the sick and make the transmission of injury immortal. During the Han Dynasty, the physician Zhang Ji, courtesy name Zhongjing, emerged, and for the first time created Classic Formulas (Jingfang), establishing standards for prescription preparation. Its detail and conciseness were unsurpassable. Since the Han Dynasty, the number of formulas and herbs has been vast like a boundless ocean and chaotic like tangled hemp. It is like grain: only after removing weeds can good seedlings flourish; only after chaff is removed can fine rice be obtained. In the Han Dynasty, Li Zhuguo, an Imperial Physician, compared medical skills and formulas; in the Song Dynasty, Confucian scholars were ordered to correct medical books, yet errors still remained. After Zhang Ji, those who could follow ancient teachings and adhere to his rules, possessing miraculous arts for saving the world and effective formulas shining like gold and jade, include: Sun Simiao's *Qianjin Fang* (Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold) of the Tang Dynasty, with thirty volumes and five thousand three hundred formula discussions; Xu Shuwei's *Benshi Fang* (Formulas from Personal Experience) of the Song Dynasty, with twenty volumes, four hundred and forty-four formula discussions in the main edition, and one hundred and forty-six in the supplementary edition; and Wang Qiu's *Baiyi Xuanfang* (Selected Formulas for Hundred Needs) of the Song Dynasty, with twenty volumes and one thousand and forty-six formulas, widely benefiting the people, whose virtue shines through the ages, leaving formulas to be passed down for a hundred generations. However, from the Tang and Song dynasties until now, the years have been long, and manuscripts have deteriorated. Although carefully compiled works are extensive and grand, there are also many errors and corruptions. Moreover, regarding *Baiyi Xuanfang*, which had not yet been printed in our Eastern lands (Japan). Previously, during the disaster of the Wushen year in the Heian period, half of the old woodblocks for *Qianjin Fang* were burned to ashes. Furthermore, this spring I suffered another fire disaster, and my collected collated editions of *Qianjin Fang* became non-existent again. Therefore, I now respectfully present the collated editions of these two books. If there is even one error in the formula discussions, it may harm the people, which does not align with the intention of benevolence and compassion. I observe Your Majesty's benevolence towards the people and love for all things, your heart being consistent with that of ancient sage kings, issuing an edict to collate these three books. My nature is mediocre and dull, my insight obscure, and my study of antiquity shallow. I lack the ability to correct errors and merely pretend to contribute. Through proofreading and correction, consulting multiple versions, and extensively citing various books, I corrected errors and supplemented omissions, hoping to remove weeds and chaff. Although I am ignorant and ill-informed, I fear that omissions and mistakes may inevitably occur, leading to self-deception and misleading others. Reverently, Your Majesty's great virtue and deep benevolence benefit the universe, assisting Heaven and Earth in their creative work, truly a great fortune for the people and a profound grace for ten thousand generations. I am overwhelmed with gratitude. I, Weihe, respectfully submit this memorial for presentation, trembling with awe and fear, bowing deeply, performing a hundred bows, and reverently presenting it!
