本编所载各篇论述，首先阐述《黄帝内经》的核心要旨，其次引用古代哲人的格言警句，接着分析疾病产生的根源，然后描述本病的症状表现，随后介绍治疗方法，最后讲解脉象的基本原理。所有内容都力求简明直接、清晰易懂，药名用字依据民间通俗习惯，旨在让阅读者容易理解。
本编最适宜宦游在外的官员、旅居的旅客、居住在偏僻乡村的人，以及夜间病情难以预测、来不及请医生诊治的情况。为了简便快捷地去除疾病，因此对于深奥微妙的理论，只选取其中关键紧要的内容。
本编在各门类各种疾病中，详细记载了致病的原因，并加上警示告诫的话语。尊重生命的人士，若能预先知晓如何调养摄生，就可以避免疾病侵袭，延长寿命。
各种证候的主治方剂后面，附有现成的成方。这些方剂都是前代哲人创立，道理精妙，同时结合祖传家秘，经过斟酌参考使用，没有不奏效的。至于末尾附带的简易方子，也都是经过验证无误的，更方便那些没有药材的人使用。
治疗伤寒之法以张仲景为祖师，方剂兼采节庵（李梴）之说。至于胎产、痘疹、外科等疾病，比起其他证候关系更为重要，所以特别加以详细完备的记载。
各种病症中只有呕吐一证无法服药，如果在服药时想要呕吐，应预备姜汤一并送服，再用两包炒热的盐，轮流熨烫喉部至胸部，多炒热、频繁熨烫即可安宁。
药品必须选取真实、新鲜、当地产的最佳者，按照法度炮制，才能痊愈。如果使用低劣伪劣、虫蛀的药物，或者舍弃贵重药材而选用廉价药材，以及炮制配制草率马虎。或者遇到略懂医术的人，胡乱加减药味，都没有效果，这不是方剂的过错。
治病要分清寒、热、虚、实，不可混淆。必须仔细研读方论，如果有疑惑，先配制小剂量少量服用，身体适应后逐渐增加剂量，病愈即停止，不要多服。如果是攻下利下的药物，尤其不宜过量。
本书完成后，只希望高明之士重新修订刊印，用来广泛拯救救济世人，这是我的大幸。
预防疾病的方法，以“治未病”为上策。人如果能清心寡欲，谨慎起居、节制饮食，那么疾病自然不会产生，寿命也可以延长。
凡人的百种疾病，不出三种病因。一是外因：风、寒、暑、湿、燥、火，这是天的六种淫邪之气。二是内因：喜、怒、忧、思、悲、恐、惊，这是人的七种情志。三是不内外因：起居不当、饮食失节、房劳过度、跌打损伤、金刃创伤、五尸、鬼疰、邪祟、蛊毒、山岚瘴气、不服水土等证候。
列举外因六气来说：风，是天地郁结勃发之气。经书说：风是百病之长，善于运行变化，其变化莫测。轻则导致伤风咳嗽，重则导致中风、风痱等各种证候。所以说躲避风邪就像躲避箭矢一样。寒，是天地严酷凝结之气。经书说：冬天受寒，春天必定患温病。春、夏、秋三季感受较轻，冬季感受较重。立即发病的叫伤寒，潜伏在肌骨之间，到春季随着生发之气而发病，称为春温。次日傍晚发作的，叫晚发，以及热病。暑，是天地酷烈之气。经书说：夏天受暑，秋天必定患疟疾和痢疾。夏季天空的阳气全部浮越在地面，人体的阳气全部浮越在体表，所以多烦躁口渴，喜欢喝冰水和吃瓜果。不知道这是阳在外、阴在内，生冷食物停滞积聚，湿热相互蒸腾而变成痢疾。腠理汗出，风寒侵袭它，邪气与正气相搏，阴阳相并而变成疟疾。顶着暑热奔跑，病名叫中热。在水阁树荫下，过于寒凉，病名叫伤暑。
如果躺在砖石、泥地、漆凳之类上面，感受风寒湿气，到了深秋收敛之时，腠理闭密，邪气潜伏难以排出，导致关节游走性疼痛，从而形成痛风等证候。湿，是天地阴润之气，为害不小。东南地势低洼卑薄，衣履坐卧，湿气从外部侵入；西北地势高燥，嗜好乳酪面食，湿气从内部产生。燥，是阳明燥金之气。经书说：所有涩滞枯涸、干燥起皱的症状，都属于燥。这是因为风热耗损了血液所致。在表则表现为皮肤裂屑、手足干燥，甚至筋缩爪枯等证候；在里则表现为大便秘结、消渴引饮等证候。火，是君火、相火以及五志之火。经书说：所有热躁扰攘、狂骂气逆、冲上打喷嚏呕吐、疮疡痛痒、耳目各种证候等，都属于火。肾经孤水，怎么能承受得住呢？而且火日益增加而水日益损耗。东垣（李杲）说：火是元气的贼寇，此胜则彼负。如果火上下往来，煎熬真阴、枯竭津液，就会形成阴虚等证候。
列举内因七情来说。经书说：喜伤心。大概喜悦过度则心火炽盛，轻则导致口舌破烂、疮疡斑疹，重则导致颠狂等证候。经书说：怒则气上。又说：大怒则肝火起，严重时呕血。大概愤怒则阳气逆上，而肝木乘克脾土，所以导致呕血、飧泄、胸胁痞痛、不食等证候。经书说：忧则心气受之。又说：忧愁不解则伤意。忧气郁结而生痰，痰与气搏结，升而不降，多形成噎膈等证候。经书说：思则气结。大概是指其专注笃沉滞着而言。如难以释怀、怨恨想报复、苦吟竭志、男女怀思之类，遂形成怔忡等证候。气结致病，表现为昏瞀、中满痞塞、咽喉不利、不喜欢饮食等证候。经书说：悲则气消。大概悲伤则心窍蕴结，肺布叶举而上焦不通，营卫不行，热气在中，所以气消。又说：悲气所至，导致阴缩筋挛、肌痹脉痿。男性表现为小便频数、尿血，女性表现为血崩、孕妇胎漏、目昏等证候。经书说：恐则气下。阴气不能上行，则志气恐惧，日久成为矢志之证。经书说：惊则气乱。神无所归，栖灵之舍空虚，而为痰涎所聚，形成颠痫等证候。
列举不内外因中的几件事来说。起居方面，人身运动，全赖精血，《经》有七损八益、五劳七伤、六极的戒律。饮食方面，经书说：饮食加倍，肠胃乃伤。生冷滞腻、炙爆辛热，千万不要太过。又说：各种肉类补阳，各种谷物补阴。阳盛则火炽痰壅，津液燔烁；阴盛则火熄水盈，精血生长。房事方面，人身所宝贵的精、气、神，得道之人秘密固守，用来炼制金丹，大的可以成仙，小的可以却病。多欲的人，像飞蛾扑火，迷惑而不自知。只要能节制，就是期颐之年的基础。跌扑金刃几种情况，多由不慎遭遇，不站在危墙之下就可以了。如果知道预先谨慎持守，精神内守，外邪怎么能侵犯呢？所以善于治未病的人，巧妙之处高出良医之外，功劳居于美药之前。这对于康宁永寿又有什么困难呢？
The various treatises in this compilation first expound the essential principles of the *Huangdi Neijing* (Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon), followed by aphorisms of ancient sages, then the roots of disease contraction, then the manifestations of the primary symptoms, then treatment methods, and finally the general principles of pulse diagnosis. All content is kept simple, direct, and clear; drug names use common vernacular terms, aiming to make it easy for readers to understand.
This compilation is most convenient for officials traveling on duty, travelers, those living in remote rural areas, and situations where nighttime illness is unpredictable or a doctor cannot be summoned in time. To remove disease simply and quickly, only the most essential points among profound and subtle theories are selected.
For each category and disease, this compilation records the causes of contraction in detail, adding words of warning and caution. Gentlemen who respect life, if they know in advance how to regulate and nourish themselves, can avoid disease and extend their lifespan.
Following the main prescriptions for various syndromes are attached existing formulas. These formulas were created by former sages with exquisite reasoning, combined with ancestral family secrets, and used after careful consideration, achieving efficacy without fail. The simple formulas attached at the end are also verified as accurate and more convenient for those without access to medicine.
The method for treating Shanghan (Cold Damage) takes Zhang Zhongjing as the ancestor, and the formulas incorporate those of Jie'an (Li Chan). For obstetrics, smallpox/rash diseases, and surgery, which are even more critical than other syndromes, special attention has been given to detailed and complete coverage.
Among various diseases, only vomiting makes it impossible to take medicine. If one feels like vomiting when taking medicine, prepare ginger decoction to administer together, and use two bags of stir-fried salt to alternately apply heat compresses from the throat down to the chest. Stir-frying more and applying frequently will bring relief.
Medicinal materials must be authentic, fresh, and best produced locally. Only by following proper processing methods can recovery be achieved. If inferior, fake, or worm-eaten drugs are used, or if expensive herbs are discarded for cheap ones, or if processing is careless, or if someone with slight medical knowledge arbitrarily adds or subtracts ingredients, there will be no effect. This is not the fault of the formula.
Treating disease requires distinguishing between Cold, Heat, Deficiency, and Excess; they must not be confused. One must carefully study the formula discussions. If there is doubt, first prepare a small dose and take a little; once the body adapts, gradually increase the dosage. Stop when the disease is cured; do not take too much. Especially for purgative or draining medicines, overdose should be avoided.
After completing this book, I only hope that experts will revise and print it again, to widely aid and save people. This would be my great fortune.
The method to prevent disease places "treating disease before it arises" (Zhi Wei Bing) as the highest principle. If a person can clear the mind and reduce desires, be cautious in daily routine, and moderate diet, disease will naturally not arise, and longevity can be extended.
All hundred diseases of ordinary people fall into three categories of causes. First, External Causes: Wind, Cold, Summerheat, Dampness, Dryness, and Fire, which are the six excesses of Heaven. Second, Internal Causes: Joy, Anger, Worry, Thought, Sorrow, Fear, and Fright, which are the seven emotions of humans. Third, Neither Internal nor External Causes: Improper daily routine, irregular diet, excessive sexual activity, falls and injuries, metal blade wounds, Five Corpse diseases, Gui Zhu (ghostly transmission), evil spirits, Gu poison, mountain miasma, and maladaptation to local conditions, etc.
Taking the six Qi of external causes: Wind is the turbulent energy of heaven and earth. The Classics say: Wind is the leader of a hundred diseases; it moves rapidly and changes unpredictably. Its changes are unfathomable. Mild cases cause wind-cold cough; severe cases cause stroke, wind paralysis, and other syndromes. Thus it is said: Avoid wind as you would avoid arrows. Cold is the severe condensing energy of heaven and earth. The Classics say: Injury by cold in winter leads to Warm disease in spring. In spring, summer, and autumn, the injury is lighter; in winter, it is heavier. Immediate onset is named Shanghan (Cold Damage); latent in muscles and bones, it manifests in spring with the generating Qi as Chunwen (Spring Warmth). Onset the next evening is called Wanfa (Late Onset), along with Rebing (Heat Disease). Summerheat is the fierce energy of heaven and earth. The Classics say: Injury by summerheat in summer leads to Malaria and Dysentery in autumn. In summer, the Yang Qi of heaven floats entirely on the ground, and the Yang Qi of humans floats entirely on the exterior, causing much irritability and thirst, craving ice water and fruits. Not realizing that Yang is outside and Yin is inside, raw and cold foods stagnate and accumulate; damp-heat steams together to form dysentery. Pores sweat, wind-cold attacks, evil and righteous Qi contend, Yin and Yang merge to form malaria. Rushing under summerheat is named Zhongre (Heat Stroke). Staying in water pavilions or shady verandas, being overly cold, is named Shangshu (Summer Cold Injury).
If sleeping on bricks, mud floors, or lacquered stools, contracting wind-cold-damp Qi, when autumn deepens and Qi converges, pores close tightly, evil Qi lingers and is hard to expel, leading to joint wandering pain, forming gout-like syndromes. Dampness is the yin-moistening energy of heaven and earth, causing significant harm. In the southeast, land is low and thin; clothes, shoes, sitting, and lying allow dampness to enter from outside; in the northwest, land is high and dry; liking dairy, cheese, and noodles causes dampness to generate internally. Dryness is the Qi of Yangming Dry Metal. The Classics say: All astringency, withering, drying, stiffness, and wrinkling belong to Dryness. This is caused by wind-heat consuming blood and fluids. On the exterior, it manifests as cracked skin and scales, stiff hands and feet, even tendon retraction and brittle nails; on the interior, it manifests as constipation, Xiaoke (Wasting-Thirst) with excessive drinking. Fire refers to Sovereign Fire, Ministerial Fire, and Fire of the Five Emotions. The Classics say: All heat, irritability, mania, shouting, rebellious Qi, sneezing, vomiting, sores, ulcers, itching, and ear/eye disorders all belong to Fire. How can the solitary Water of the Kidney Meridian withstand it? Moreover, Fire increases daily while Water decreases. Dongyuan (Li Gao) said: Fire is the thief of Yuan Qi (Primal Qi); when one wins, the other loses. If Fire moves up and down, roasting True Yin and drying Jin Ye (Body Fluids), it forms Deficiency-Yin syndromes.
Taking the Seven Emotions of internal causes: The Classics say: Joy injures the Heart. Generally, extreme joy causes Heart Fire to blaze fiercely, mildly causing mouth/tongue ulcers, sores, and rashes; severely causing madness. The Classics say: Anger causes Qi to ascend. It is also said: Great anger causes Fire to rise in the Liver, severely leading to hematemesis. Generally, anger causes Yang Qi to rebel upward, and Liver Wood overacts on Spleen Earth, thus causing hematemesis, undigested food diarrhea, chest/hypochondriac fullness and pain, and anorexia. The Classics say: Worry affects Heart Qi. It is also said: Unresolved worry injures Yi (Intellect). Worry Qi stagnates and generates Phlegm; Phlegm and Qi contend, ascending but not descending, often forming Yige (Dysphagia) syndromes. The Classics say: Thought causes Qi to knot. This refers to focused, deep, and stagnant states. Such as difficult-to-forget grievances, seeking revenge, bitter chanting exhausting the mind, male/female longing, etc., thus forming Zhengchong (Palpitations) syndromes. Qi knotting as disease manifests as dizziness/confusion, abdominal fullness/blockage, throat obstruction, and aversion to food. The Classics say: Sorrow consumes Qi. Generally, sorrow knots the Heart orifices, Lung leaves elevate, Upper Jiao becomes blocked, Ying and Wei Qi do not circulate, Heat stays in the middle, thus Qi is consumed. It is also said: Where Sorrow Qi reaches, it causes Yin retraction, tendon spasms, muscle Bi, and vessel flaccidity. Men suffer frequent urination and hematuria; women suffer metrorrhagia, pregnant women suffer fetal leakage, and blurred vision. The Classics say: Fear causes Qi to descend. Yin Qi cannot ascend, causing fearfulness of willpower; over time, it becomes a syndrome of lost will. The Classics say: Fright causes Qi to become chaotic. Spirit has nowhere to return; the house of Ling (Spirit) becomes empty, gathering Phlegm-Saliva, forming Dianxian (Epilepsy) syndromes.
Taking several matters of neither internal nor external causes: Daily routine relies on Jing and Blood for bodily movement; the Classics warn against Seven Damages and Eight Benefits, Five Labors and Seven Injuries, and Six Extremes. Diet: The Classics say: Double the food intake, and the intestines/stomach are injured. Raw, cold, sticky, greasy, roasted, fried, spicy, and hot foods must not be excessive. It is also said: Meats tonify Yang; grains tonify Yin. Excess Yang leads to blazing Fire and phlegm congestion, scorching fluids; Excess Yin extinguishes Fire and fills Water, promoting Jing and Blood growth. Sexual desire: The precious Jing, Qi, and Shen of the human body are secretly guarded by perfected individuals to refine the Golden Elixir; the greatest result is immortality, the lesser is disease prevention. Those with excessive desire are like moths flying into fire, unaware of their confusion. If one can moderate desires, it lays the foundation for reaching a hundred years. Falls and blade wounds often result from carelessness; one need not stand under dangerous walls. If one knows to guard in advance, keeping Spirit within, how can external evils invade? Thus, those skilled in treating disease before it arises excel beyond good doctors and surpass fine medicines. What difficulty could there be in achieving health, peace, and longevity?
