南海邱浩川先生牛痘一法，自西洋传中夏，行之而验者，不可更仆数。余曩闻其术，而
以为未获见其书为憾！岁戊子，负笈麓山，始得其书于吴君葆元，以呈欧阳坦斋夫子，夫子
善之，于是同砚诸友，咸踊跃醵金楼版，以广其传。其书原有诸名公题咏，约数千百言，皆
身受其益而赞其妙者。兹因简帙太繁，未及备录，第即其图说、方法刊焉。余惟世之苦痘久
矣，吹鼻之法，往往得失参半，而是书乃计出万全，转难为易，转危为安，诚发千古未发之
蕴，而有以跻一世之婴孩于仁寿之域也，遵而行之，是所望于慈幼者。道光八年，岁在戊子
，七月既望，衡山周景明春台氏识于岳麓书院之居业斋。
痘科之流传久矣，自昔遵用鼻苗，由肺传肝及脾肾，相攻相伐，逆传命门，攻出先天伏
毒，毒因逆攻而出，发无定处，设遇蒙头、锁项、缠腰，以致变症丛生，调治不善，在在惊
其险 。近有西洋传浆新法，点于两臂。以两臂消烁诸穴，属手少阳三焦，故浆自少阳传胆
，相引相导，顺传命门，引出先天伏毒，毒随顺引而出，发于两臂，按日亮水、灌浆、结痂
。所以症无烦杂，获效不劳，人人安于磐石，洵保赤万全之善术也。此法留传中夏，今师其
术而行之者日益广，仆阅历斯道有年，颇于其理有得，细考《引痘略》书，晦而不显。但国
师邱君，原绘点痘之图，虽指明其所当然，尚未透发其所以然，故后之学人，点法不一，不
能无讹传之弊。然此道以审穴为要着，不得其审穴之法，其何以行之无误耶。按宋诏命明医
所铸铜人明堂之图穴，有至当不易之理，其理固不可强不知以为知，又何可秘所知而不冀人
以共知。于是谨遵《针灸大成》、《御纂医宗金鉴》，录集同身寸法，铜人背面两图，镌刻
于后，俾有志斯道者，阅图知脏腑之分别，按经知穴分之所在，既辨其所当然，复深究其所
以然。由是寻经审穴，传点得法，不致有毫厘之谬，此不惟精明其术之可嘉，实保全婴赤之
功甚大也，岂非仆之所深幸也哉。醴陵黄之檀、龄馨氏识，并点痘穴法附载于后。
南海邱浩川先生所创的牛痘接种法，是从西洋传入中国的，实践证明效果显著，无法一一列举。我早年听闻此术，遗憾未能亲眼见到相关书籍！戊子年（道光八年），我背着书箱在麓山求学，从吴葆元君那里得到了这本书，呈给欧阳坦斋老师，老师对此表示赞赏。于是同窗好友们纷纷踊跃集资刻印此书，以广泛传播。书中原本收录了众多名人的题诗和评论，约有数千百字，都是亲身受益者对其妙处的赞美。因为篇幅过于繁杂，来不及全部收录，仅将书中的图解说明和方法刊印出来。我认为世人深受天花之苦已久，传统的吹鼻种痘法往往得失参半，而本书的方法则万无一失，化难为易，转危为安，确实是发掘了千古未有的奥妙，能让世上的婴儿都达到仁爱和长寿的境界，希望慈爱儿童的人能遵循并施行此法。道光八年，岁在戊子，七月十六日，衡山人周景明春台氏在岳麓书院的居业斋记述。
痘科医术流传已久，自古以来遵循使用鼻苗（通过鼻腔接种天花脓液）的方法，毒气由肺传至肝、脾、肾，相互攻伐，逆传至命门，攻出先天潜伏的毒素。由于毒素是逆攻而出，发作部位不定，如果遇到蒙头、锁项、缠腰等症，导致变证丛生，若调治不当，处处显得危险。近来有西洋传来的新式浆苗接种法，点在两臂。因为两臂的穴位属于手少阳三焦经，所以浆苗自少阳传入胆经，相互引导，顺传至命门，引出先天潜伏的毒素。毒素随顺引而出，发于两臂，按日子依次亮水、灌浆、结痂。因此症状不繁杂，获得疗效不费力，人人安稳如磐石，这确实是保护婴儿万全的好方法。此法流传到中国后，如今学习并施行此法的人日益增多。我研习此道多年，颇有所得，仔细考察《引痘略》一书，内容晦涩不明显。虽然国师邱君原本绘制了点痘的图谱，虽然指明了其应当如此操作，但尚未透彻解释其所以然的原因，所以后来学习者，点穴方法不一，难免有误传弊端。然而此道以审察穴位为关键，不得到审穴的方法，怎么能无误地施行呢？按照宋诏令明医所铸造的铜人明堂图谱中的穴位，有着至当不易的道理。这个道理固然不能强不知以为知，又怎能秘而不宣不让众人共知呢？于是谨遵《针灸大成》、《御纂医宗金鉴》，收录集合同身寸法，以及铜人背面两张图谱，镌刻在后面，使有志于此道的人，阅图可知脏腑的区别，按经络可知穴位的位置，既辨别其应当如何操作，又深入探究其所以然的原理。由此寻经审穴，传授点穴得法，不至于有毫厘之差，这不仅是我精通医术值得称赞，更是保全婴儿生命的功德很大，难道不是我深深庆幸的吗？醴陵黄之檀龄馨氏记述，并将点痘穴位方法附载在后面。
Mr. Qiu Haochuan from Nanhai developed the method of cowpox vaccination, which was transmitted from the West to China. Its clinical efficacy is undeniable and cannot be fully enumerated. I had heard of this technique in the past but regretted not having seen the relevant texts. In the year Wuzi (1828), while studying at Lushan Mountain with my books, I finally obtained this book from Mr. Wu Baoyuan and presented it to Master Ouyang Tanzhai. The master approved of it, prompting my fellow students to enthusiastically pool funds to have it woodblock printed for wider dissemination. The original text included poems and comments from various prominent figures, totaling several thousand characters, all praising its wonders by those who had personally benefited. Due to the excessive length, we could not include them all; instead, we published only the diagrams and methods. I believe that the world has long suffered from smallpox. The traditional nasal inoculation method often yielded mixed results. This book, however, offers a foolproof approach, turning difficulty into ease and danger into safety. It truly unveils ancient mysteries, bringing infants of the era into the realm of benevolence and longevity. It is hoped that those who cherish children will follow and practice this method. Recorded by Zhou Jingming, courtesy name Chuntai, of Hengshan, at the Juye Studio of Yuelu Academy, on the 16th day of the seventh month in the eighth year of Daoguang (Wuzi year).
The discipline of treating pox has been passed down for a long time. Historically, the nasal seedling method was used, where pathogens were believed to travel from the Lung to the Liver, Spleen, and Kidney, attacking each other, then reversely transmitting to the Mingmen (Gate of Life) to expel congenital latent toxins. Because the toxins were expelled via reverse attack, their eruption sites were unpredictable. If complications such as "covering the head," "locking the neck," or "encircling the waist" occurred, leading to numerous adverse changes, improper treatment made every situation perilous. Recently, a new Western method using lymphatic material has been introduced, applied to both arms. Since the acupoints on the arms belong to the Hand-Shaoyang Sanjiao (Triple Burner) meridian, the lymph material transmits from Shaoyang to the Gallbladder, guiding each other, and smoothly transmits to the Mingmen to draw out congenital latent toxins. The toxins are expelled along this smooth path, erupting on the arms, progressing daily through stages of fluid appearance, pustule formation, and scabbing. Thus, symptoms are uncomplicated, and efficacy is achieved with little effort, ensuring everyone remains stable as a rock. This is indeed an excellent method for the absolute protection of infants. As this method spreads in China, more people are learning and practicing it. Having studied this field for years, I have gained some understanding. Upon carefully examining the book *Yin Dou Lue* (Brief Treatise on Inducing Pox), I found its content obscure and unclear. Although Master Qiu originally drew diagrams for inoculation points, indicating what should be done, he did not thoroughly explain why. Consequently, later practitioners adopted inconsistent point-selection methods, inevitably leading to errors. However, the key to this discipline lies in accurately identifying acupoints. Without the correct method for assessing points, how can one practice without error? According to the copper man acupuncture model commissioned by the Song Dynasty emperor, the acupoints in the Mingtang diagram possess immutable principles. These principles should not be feigned if unknown, nor should they be kept secret from public knowledge. Therefore, strictly following the *Zhenjiu Dacheng* (Great Compendium of Acupuncture and Moxibustion) and the *Yuzuan Yizong Jinjian* (Imperially Compiled Golden Mirror of the Medical Tradition), I have compiled the proportional inch method (*Tongshenchun*) and engraved the front and back views of the copper man diagram below. This allows those interested in this field to understand the differentiation of Zang-Fu organs by viewing the diagrams and locate acupoints according to meridians. By distinguishing what ought to be done and deeply investigating the underlying reasons, one can trace the meridians, assess acupoints accurately, and apply inoculation techniques correctly, avoiding even slight errors. This not only demonstrates my commendable mastery of the technique but also represents a great merit in preserving infant lives. Is this not a source of deep joy for me?
