医学的道理非常宏大。它可以用来保养生命,保全身体,享尽天年,造福天下和后世人,这不是见识浅薄的人所能做到的。
如果精通这门学问的人,能够通达神明,夺得天工造化,擅长起死回生的功效。那么精神的运用,必然有默默相助的力量在冥冥之中,这难道不是疾病(瘼)的终结吗?以至于流传到后世。
周朝有和缓,秦朝有扁鹊,汉朝有仓公,魏国有华佗,宋朝有徐文伯,唐朝有孙思邈,他们都神奇出众,超越常人想象,一个接一个,代代都有人才,但从此以后,其中的奥妙便不再广泛流传。偶尔有能掌握它的人,也仅仅可以数出几个。为什么古人如此精巧,而现代人却赶不上呢?
我曾经思考过这个问题。古人用医术来救人,所以上天赐予他们道术,使他们普遍惠及众生;后人用医术来谋取利益,所以上天吝啬他们的技术,不轻易给予,这是不足为奇的。
我十一岁时,接连遭遇家庭灾祸,父亲死于时疫,母亲死于气中(一种因情绪或气机逆乱导致的急症)。在一百天之内,双亲相继去世。我悲痛地想到乡里没有良医,只能束手待毙。等到长大成人后,我刻意钻研医书,发誓要以救人为心志。
在冥冥之中……(此处原文似有缺漏或断句异常,依现有文本翻译)题为《普济本事方》。
我既然以救治……
治疗肝经因虚损,内部受到风邪侵袭,睡觉时神魂涣散而不能守舍,症状类似惊悸,使用真珠丸(真珠母即珍珠母,形状大小不一)。
药材:
真珠母(未钻孔的珍珠,三分,研磨成粉,与其他药同碾)
当归(洗去芦头,薄片切,焙干,最后称量)
熟干地黄(洒酒,九蒸九晒,焙干,各一两半)
人参(去掉芦头)
酸枣仁(微炒,去皮,研磨)
柏子仁(各一两,研磨)
犀角(镑成细末)
茯神(去掉木心)
沉香、龙齿(各半两)
以上药物研为细末,用炼蜜制成丸药,如梧桐子大,用辰砂(朱砂)做外衣。每次服用四五十丸,用金银薄荷汤送下,在半夜和睡前服用。
The principles of medicine are profound. They can be used to nourish life, preserve the body, fulfill one's natural lifespan, and benefit the world and future generations; this is not something that those with shallow understanding can achieve.
Those who master this art can communicate with the divine, rival the creative forces of nature, and possess the miraculous ability to restore the dead to life. The operation of their spirit must have a silent assistance in the unseen realm, effectively ending illness (mò), thereby passing down to posterity. In the Zhou Dynasty, there was He Huan; in the Qin Dynasty, Bian Que; in the Han Dynasty, Cang Gong; in the Wei Kingdom, Hua Tuo; in the Song Dynasty, Xu Wenbo; and in the Tang Dynasty, Sun Simiao. All were miraculously outstanding, surpassing ordinary expectations, following one after another, with talents emerging in every generation. However, since then, their subtleties have not been widely transmitted. Occasionally, there are those capable of it, but they can be counted on one hand. Why were the ancients so skillful, while modern people fall short?
I have often pondered this. The ancients used medicine to save people, so Heaven bestowed its Dao upon them, enabling them to universally benefit all sentient beings. Later generations used medicine to seek profit, so Heaven withheld its techniques, not granting them lightly; this is beyond doubt. At the age of eleven, I suffered consecutive family tragedies: my father died from an epidemic disease, and my mother died from Qi Zhong (a sudden disorder of Qi flow). Within a hundred days, I lost both parents. Grieving deeply, I realized there were no good physicians in my locality, leaving me helpless and awaiting death. Upon reaching adulthood, I deliberately studied medical texts, vowing to dedicate myself to saving lives.
In the unseen realm... [Text fragment] titled *Puji Benshi Fang* (General Benefit Formulas Based on Personal Experience). Since I am dedicated to healing...
